The Weather insights shows the following:
Sunrise / Sunset
The upcoming sunrise or sunset, depending on which is next.
Temperature
If you place the watch into the water (below 10 cm/ 4 inches) you can measure the water temperature. After you take the watch out of the water the temperature is shown for next 30 seconds. This is indicated with a separate temperature icon.
Measuring the water temperature will affect the ascent/descent values as these are pressure based.
Estimated time of arrival (ETA)
If the estimated time of arrival goes past the sunset, it will be shown in red.
