Here's a screen grab of Carrot Weather on my watch face (small complication)
I have it set at Condition / Feels like temp.
Large Complication is "Eventswidget"
Middle small - Pedometer ++

You can find a bunch of different options below for the various data points. The small temperature + condition option looks just like the first section of the complication at the bottom of watch face #3. Sadly I'm away on vacation for the next week, so I can't take any new screenshots and upload them.
Thank you for all the screenshots with the Carrot small complications. Based on the positive feedback and very fast replies from MakerOfCarrot on this thread, I have purchased the App and the yearly subscription for 1 year.
I am using the small complication with "Feels Like Temp" in the lower middle of the Modular Multi-color Watch face. I like the option of choosing Feels Like and the light blue color shows me it is cloudy outside.
The App loads very quickly with OS 2.1 and can easily be customized with the Phone App. The information is well-organized and much easier to utilize versus the standard Weather App from Apple. Mr. Carrot makes very good use of the small Watch screen with a consistent weather-related color scheme and the jokes are kept to a minimum. (For those who prefer just the weather facts...)
The one area in the second screen shot is the only place he adds his unique style of humor to the Watch App. The Phone App has a lot more jokes with an old-school cartoonish feel, but you really do not need to use it other than to setup the Watch. I do not mind the humor, so I will probably use it more than Weather.com which has become nothing more than a place for advertisements with a little weather sprinkled in.
On a side note, this App is one of only two I have purchased for my Watch in the month since buying it. If you are still considering it for yourself, go ahead and take the plunge. You will not regret it!
Thanks again for all the help,
TxWatch

Just added 7 new complication options to the CARROT Weather beta:
Barometric pressure
Visibility
Dew point
Sunrise/sunset (large slots only)
Moon phase (large slots only)
Location (large slots only)
Temp + precipitation chance (small slots only; on Modular multicolor face, the temperature is colored to indicate the current condition)
Note that signing up for the premium subscription is disabled in the beta - you need to purchase it using the App Store version before using the beta version.
Lots more to come later this year!

I just downloaded it - the new complication options ROCK - thank you (Love the moon phase with temp)
Cheers,

Nice! Just updated and added sunrise/sunset to large complication. Thanks.
I just downloaded the Beta (Thank You) and I am trying the Barometric pressure complication! I now have a RED UP arrow (different color arrows?) is there a Key?
The arrows just mean the pressure is rising (up arrow) or falling (down arrow).
does the BETA override the actual app, or does it run alongside it as a completely different app (would it be weird to want a modular face with the bottom 2/3 full of carrot data of various types)?
The beta overwrites the App Store version, just as if you were installing a regular app update. So sadly you can't have the App Store and TestFlight versions running side-by-side on the Watch

is there a mechanism to de-beta?
Just search for CARROT Weather in the App Store and you'll see a download icon - tap that and that will install the last "official" release over top of the beta.
I'm Running the Beta and I am noticing that when I force touch to change locations the splash screen runs for awhile and the watch returns to the Pryor location. I am unable to change location on the watch.
Ps. I rebooted both my watch and my phone and deleted the beta app and reinstalled the purchased app then overlayed installed the beta and now I am not able to add locations the app freezes.
I am running 9.2.1 beta 2 on my iphone and I am wondering if this is the issue?
*UPDATE* I reinstalled the regular and overlaid the beta and I am now able to switch to other places and all is well.

another question pertaining to the Pressure complication. I LOVE IT by the way! I understand that you have the UP/DOWN arrows for changes in pressure. when the pressure holds the same after a period of time (somehow defined) does it show another symbol for steady pressure?
Trying out the pressure complication. Just wondering if 994mb (millibars) would look better than Prs 994.
Otherwise really liking the new options.

Inches of mercury (inHg) is already available - just go into the settings screen, then you'll find the option to toggle pressure units under the "units" header.
one issue that i still have that maybe I'm not understanding is when i use the location info, it doesn't seem to update as often as i thought it was supposed to. lets say at 2pm, I'm at location XYX. then, i drive to location ABC and stay there for 3 hours. the watch screen complication still shows location and weather data for XYZ, even though I've been in ABC for hours.
isn't the complication supposed to use triangulation or cell network data to provide forecast/location info that refreshes every 30 mins with the premium update? i still find i need to manually refresh data everywhere i go to get the most up to date weather info and location information. seems very counterproductive and like every other app. i figured the extra money spent on carrot fixes this.

I've had the app (iOS & Mac version, premium subscription) for a little while now & I have a couple of questions. In the very first post of this thread is the statement:
"There’s a truly ridiculous amount of customization here that no other apps come even close to offering. You can change colors"
How do you change colors?
There was mention later about editing the complication through the iPhone app. Is that just the ability to select from the predefined options of Wind, UV Index, Precip Chance, etc.?
