Another Bug Found, This Time With Weather Tags

So, I’m working on a new watch face with lots of weather. I have current conditions plus the weather forecast for today and the next three days. (Day 1,2,3 & 4) I loaded it up on my Fossil Carlyle test watch and all the weather forecasts for today (Thursday) through Sunday are identical. Same conditions and high temperatures. So not trusting that I loaded the face on my daily driver Galaxy Watch 1st gen. Days three and four are showing different weather. The Fossil is also showing the humidity at 64% and the Galaxy is showing it as 63%, but I think it may have changed between the times I synced the face to the watches. Below is a picture of both watches together in my hand (Fossil left & Galaxy right) and if you look at Saturday’s and Sunday’s forecast you can see they are totally different between WearOS 2 and Tizen. I have submitted it as a bug but found it too late to be included in the Facer 6.0.1 update.

I noticed this a day or few ago and asked about it in the comments for the face where I noticed it. The creator said to try syncing the face again since the weather forecast was displaying properly for them. I did and it seems to be OK now. That doesn’t necessarily mean there isn’t a bigger problem though, especially since there seem to be a number of other bugs recorded here recently.

Good to know, thanks for the heads up. I am wondering, is it possible they synced at such a different time that the forecast was that far out? That Saturday difference sure is weird.

I thought about that also plus I found out after I sent in the bug report that a new Facer version was out. I didn’t repeat the picture but I updated both the phone app and the watch app in both watches to 6.0.1. I resynced both watches and ended up with the exact same day 3 & 4 weather forecast even with the new version. I also synced both watches within a minute of each other. WearOS 2 and Tizen are coming up with different results at nearly the same time.

I’ve left the watch face running on my Fossil test watch all afternoon. The original was taken at 1:48 (13:48). It’s now 6:34 (18:34) and the Fossil is now displaying the same as the Galaxy watch. But I contend, if it’s not correct at first its still wrong.

Hmm, interesting. Try putting in a text box with the #WLC# tag, to see if they are getting the same location? Perhaps they are reading a different weather station? Sometimes my location bounces around a bit to different nearby weather stations despite being firmly planted stationary on my butt. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m lucky in that respect. The town I live in is the county seat for this county and is dead square in the middle of the county. The next two closest towns are Mitchell IN and Bloomington IN where Indiana University is located. I can go anywhere within 5 miles of where I live, and it always shows up as Bedford IN. The best part is there is a person on the other side of town from me who has a home weather station and it’s linked to OpenWeather. The next closest “official” NWS weather station is in Bloomington IN which is 20 miles away. They are always within 2 or 3 degrees of each other which I would expect.

It’s bad enough that I have to reboot just to get the weather icons to match… I suppose I should be happy the temperatures match… :neutral_face:

I’ve seen that before myself but didn’t think much about it. I just synced my face back onto my test watch and all four days are showing different information. Which also looks pretty correct compared to what the other weather forecasts are saying. Maybe OpenWeather or Facer had some “flatulence” caught crossways and was messing with the weather earlier. :laughing:
