Thats NOT beautiful widgets
Have you tried Beautiful Widgets?
jk...i think the only other real contender for that type of style would be Weather & Toggle Widget. Used it for like a day or two, but Beautiful Widgets was better suited to my needs.
Freeware ftw
Maybe this...have not tried it myself.

Any good weather widget?
Weather Bug became of terribly dubious quality, it doesn't remember location, scoundrels.
Any ideas?
Weather Channel, Beautiful Widgets
I use Snowstorm https://market.android.com/details?id=se.f1nally.snowstorm
Thanks guys Weather Bug has been corrected now.

GoWeather.
SiMi Clock has a weather widget that comes with it.
+1 for snowstorm.
Snowstorm looks nice but doesn't even have my city, Montreal....

Have you tried just letting it use your current location? Works brilliantly for me wherever i am (caveat: i havent been to montreal).
+1 for GoWeather.
With HD videos add-in is quite impressing.
Finaly got it working correctly, but weather is inaccurate
Go weather is good. Especially the weather alert. But almost weather app mispredict the weather coming. Why?

Went with WeatherEye works great
i would like to know if there is a gmail widget like the one in honeycomb for the S2... i find that very useful in the XOOM and would love to see it for the S2...
a few widgets the i found only list but do not go to the email when selected...so i feel this widget would be awesome!
What would you buy? HD Widgets or Beautiful Widgets?
HD Widgets got an update today and are on sale now. Not sure if it is a good deal.
Maybe somebody tried both?

I have both. I only use HD Widgets because it's very polished. Beautiful Widgets allows you to install different themes for the widgets, which is awesome, but when I used it the selection was unappealing to me. I'm sure there are more themes now, though.
Never used HD Widgets, but Beautiful Widgets has a loooot of themes.
Here's my home screen widget just for reference. I'm using the full screen widget for the Galaxy Note (5x5).

I've had beautiful Widgets since my Droid 1, 2 years ago.
I like it, and for $3 I really got my use out of it. After getting my nexus though, the screen is so brilliant, I kind of don't want to take up half that space with a clock widget. I think I might just finally be done with clock apps, I do remember trying HD widgets way back in the day and deciding on Beautiful Widgets.
I guess for me, I say BW only because I know what I'm getting, and the themes are great. It's really easy to get away from the default HTC look.
I also have both but the new HD Widgets beta version the weather does not work.

For my Nexus I'm using BW since it has a lot of customisation options (although I really hate how the location name disappears under the weather icon for places with long names). I have HDW as well which I use on my Transformer Prime since BW has awful scalability for large screens. I very much prefer the widget layout of HDW but I can't find a theme on it that I really like over BW.

i too have both...BW for phone, HDW for tablet
i hadn't had HDW on my phone in ages and installed the latest 'update'...it was crashing ALL day, even without an active widget i was getting a "hd widgets has crashed" popup, but worse than that for me, the widget was only displaying in farenheit even though i'd selected celsius, which makes it totally useless gibberish
i won't be updating to the new version on my tablet
I have also bought both of them. Beautiful Widgets feels like it works better for a phone interface because the 4x2 Clock/Weather widget looks like it fits better on the screen and is highly themeable (for us who flash new themes and ROMs frequently).
I use HD Widgets for my tablet as the giant clock/weather widgets fit the screen much better than Beautiful Widgets does and the transparency and light theming works on my tablet as i don't flash with it nearly as much.
Just my thoughts
As with some posters above, I am a long-time BW owner, going back to the early days of the OG Droild. I loved it back then. Now, the look of those big clocks with overly-dramatic weather icons looks so 2009 to me.
After getting the GNex, I just couldn't devote so much homescreen space and I didn't want something that looked so "tired" to me, so I bought Make Your Clock Widget Pro. I designed a minimalistic "clock" widget and it's been in service on my GNex for months now. For me, it's perfect, and it's unique - just what I want, how I want it - nothing else.
Consider escaping the BW/HD Widgets look, and just go make your own.
Here’s a screenshot…
Thanks!!!
Make your clock is totally great!
I installed a free version and one widget even works. And this is ok for me.
Not sure if weather works. But I will check that later. Clock was a priority.

You are welcome!
Nice design btw!
HD Widgets beta 3.0.1 latest play store update keeps crashing an constantly sending crash reports to google, chewing the fu#k out of my battery life with crash reports every 2 minutes even with widget removed.

I use Beautiful widgets.
I would like to install these on my Galaxy s3 if possible. The gs3 weather clock is just too damned big!
