The variety of combinations of weather information that can be displayed on an Apple Watch using CARROT Weather is more extensive than ever before. Now, that data can be set to be shown within 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, or 20 miles of my home. The data from my Netatmo weather station used to be displayed whenever I was within two miles of my home.

For example, you can pair the temperature and ‘feels like’ temperature in one small complication and the wind speed with the UV index in another. With the latest update though, CARROT has extended its Watch app’s functionality and flexibility even further and added a few other great features too.Ĭustom complications, which are limited to Premium Club subscribers, allow you to pair two data points from more than a dozen options in one small complication.
