Makes sense. I honestly didn't expect the phone to send weather data to the watch. Just that I had noticed that if I had a kestrel attached at some point, the watch app didn't zero back out after some amount of time, it kept the original environmental information. Which made my DOPE off from the app that didn't have the same environmental information in it.The phone app doesn't transmit weather data to the watch. We are working on a way to possibly do this with the Tactix 8 (since it has bi-directional abilities) depending on how the upcoming firmware updates to the watch perform. But at this time, the app does not send env data to the watch.
I also fully understand WHY the watch doesn't zero back out, just noting that it didn't, and it can make the results different.
