Dark Sky user reviews :

The recently updated visuals have taken a little getting used to but they are fine. I still find this the most accurate weather service so no complaints there. My only (and oldest) complaint is that there is no control or added options for the widgets and they remain dull looking. The current conditions widget with the rainfall levels is terrible and a waste of precious home screen space. Update Dec 2018 – widgets have improved with more variation – more options on layout would be good.

Finally a Wear OS app, and a good one too! It’s not overly complicated or bloated and works great. The developers have done a great job listening to user feedback and this is becoming one of the best weather apps available. Very, very satisfied!!

So far, so good I read that there were some widgets available, but don’t see them on my S6 Active. Any info

As others have said, the only downfall of this app is the Subscription model the developer has chosen to implement for the cost of the app. I don’t think the $2.99/year is really a savings over the iOS counterpart. And as far as development costs and improvement, this appears to be a direct iOS port and doesn’t follow Google’s material design guidelines. I MIGHT consider paying that subscription model if there was something substantially different from (and better than!) the iOS app, but there isn’t.
