I have tried everything I have read about Facer not showing correct weather location but nothing seems to work. Every time I want a watch face with weather location I have to get it from google play.
Is there a fix for this? I live in Summerville, SC, the closest big city is Charleston, but for some reason Facer faces always show Centerville…
If anybody have an idea on how to fix this please let me know…thank you

Have you been there recently? Is the weather even for wrong place refreshing?

Welcome @carlosmc1972 . Switch your GPS on your watch . Get the Open Weather app on you Phone and check where the nearest Weather Station is on there . The location is not your Location it is that of the nearest Met Station .Open Weather does not get reports from every station everywhere . Because the service is Free to us we have to take the nearest which could be some way away . Also if I am traveling I have found the Location is only updated about 4 times in a day .
It is actualy good news if you are getting any location . Al least you are getting some Data from Open Weather .
Wher I live has many Met Stations because of the Fishing . When I am at home it is Accurate enough .

My Open Weather station is just a couple of miles down the road. Of course, this is Florida in the US, so it could be raining in Ellenton (where the station is) and clear in Parrish (where I live). Oh well - not OWM’s fault. I am trying out the new tag for UV Index. Right now it says 0 (8:53 a.m. here), so I’m not sure if this is a refresh issue or if the tag doesn’t work. I’ll leave it be for a while and see what happens.

We had some sun in the last few days and yes, it works well.
Of course, it depends when the weather was updated…
We still don’t know how often it’s updated. I can’t figure it out. Sometimes I have a feeling it’s updated every hour-hour and a half and other times it looks like it’s updated every 4 hours or so.
It would be nice to have tap-to-update option.

Yes . Sadly the only way to update it I go Native and Back . I use the Location as a Clue . When I have been journeying it updates about 4 time during the day . So that is your 4 hours . Yes it would be good to have a Tap to Get Data . I think Facer eill have a contract with OW to have a certain number of Hits . I am not exactly sure how it works but I don’t think it is Free to Facer .
That is me assuming WUVI comes from OW .

Those kind of things should be offered through Premium/Pro memberships.

FYI: I get a UV reading, even if it is 0 due to crap weather on WearOS, but nothing on Apple Watch. Just blank…
