About SkyHalo 2 Weather (Wear OS 5+)
(IMPORTANT: This is the standalone SkyHalo™ 2 app and complication. To convert it to a watchface, next download & install the free SkyHalo™ 2 watchface front-end — the specialized container that holds the SkyHalo™ 2 complication and tuns it into into a complete Wear 5+ watchface)
Fully compatible with Wear OS 6!
SkyHalo is the ultimate weather forecast watch face for all Wear 5+ watches (Pixel, Galaxy, OnePlus, et al.). Features include:
— Choice of ten forecast sources (incl. Apple Weather, Google Weather, OpenWeather, Open-Meteo and others) -- and counting!
— Continuous forecasts up to 48 hours
— Daily forecasts for up to 10 days, hourly up to 72 hours
— Weather alerts (now global)
— Rain/snow forecasts
— Barometer and wind displays
— Sun/moon rise/set
— Moon phase and location
— Up to three complications
It's the most weather information available in any watch face, in a beautiful and intuitive format.
SkyHalo is tested on Wear 4.x, 5.x and 6.x, and is protected from obsolescence by allowing you to choose from ten global weather sources.
HOW IT WORKS:
The halos are read clockwise from the hour hand (the current time), and graphically present the following information:
— Temperature: The width of the ring at any point represents the temperature forecast for that time: the thicker the ring, the warmer it will be.
— Cloudiness: The color of that part of the ring represents the sky conditions, with yellow for sunny, gray for completely cloudy, or any shade in between for partial sun. Sunset and sunrise times are indicated by a violet tint.
— Rain and snow: An outer halo will appear if precipitation is in the forecast: blue for rain, white for snow/sleet. The thickness of the outer ring indicates the intensity of the precipitation.
With no more than these three indicators you can glance at the ring and immediately see that it's cool and raining right now, but the sun should start coming out about 2:00pm with the temperatures topping out around 4:30pm, and sunset occurring at 6:15pm. You can graphically watch the increase/decrease of daylight hours as the year progresses.
---------------------
Outside the weather rings is the moon, showing the current phase and location: upper half of the watch face means "above the horizon" (east on the left, west on the right). Tapping the moon pops up the exact times of sun/moon rise and set.
---------------------
Current weather conditions, humidity and barometer are displayed in the lower half of the face. Tapping this area will cycle through three screens:
— Temperature (current / high / low);
— Wind speed (current / high / low); thickness of the ring represents wind speed; the wind direction is indicated by the ring's color (defined by the color key icon in the lower portion of the screen). Gust speed is indicated by the outer ring.
— Precipitation (rain, snow, sleet)
If severe weather advisories have been issued for your area, a color-coded alert triangle will be displayed to the left of the current conditions (this is a feature that has never before been available on a weather watchface). Tapping it will bring up the detailed alert(s), including the severity, time, location, and any additional information.
---------------------
What's tomorrow's weather? If you tap along the right edge, the weather rings jump ahead to the next twelve hours, then twenty-four, then thirty-six.
Tapping the extended forecast icon displays a table of daily/hourly forecasts, and tapping the text forecast icon displays a series of screens showing the three-day weather forecast in descriptive format.
---------------------
Configurable options include:
— Weather service source
— Real / Apparent temperatures
— 12h / 24h format
— Imperial / Metric units
— Date format (MM/DD or DD/MM)
— Configurable standby screen elements
— Text / background colors or images
— Availability of three complications, such as Step Count (from Fitbit/Google Fit)

What’s new
Updated October 10, 2026
v2.1.0: — NEW: Added a description in the manual for the front-end's new option to change the analog hour hand to 24-hour (midnight at the bottom), which places it in the same position as the magenta line and always points to the start of the current weather ring. This replicates the display of the original SkyHalo™.
User reviews
Absolutely incredible! One of the best watch faces ever. Love all the personalizations and adjustments you can do and add things that you need. Thanks!
Fantastic, criminally underrated watch face and companion app. It's so clever, and it's pretty well executed. Extremely impressed.
This watch face is amazing, and criminally underrated. And criminally inexpensive, honestly. The cleverest idea I ever did see, and it's well executed.
The legend is back! My wrist has missed you
One of my favorite watch faces back for Wear OS 5. Very good and a lot of information and options available
Great update. I had the old version on other watches and bought this new version for my Oneplus Watch 3 since Wear OS changes made the old version incompatible with this watch. Worth buying the new version to support the dev. The new look is a nice improvement. It was a little confusing to download a separate app to...
