Help Weather data not updating

I am new to Wear so this is probably on my end, but I have tried three different watch faces that include weather data, such as current temp, hi and lo temp, and current conditions. The problem with every one I've tried is that they are always way off. It's as if the watch is never -- or very seldom -- refreshing the weather data. The weather cards that get displayed from Google Now are current, but not the watch face. At first I thought it was the watch faces themselves, but after seeing it happen with three different ones, all from different developers, it makes me think the problem is with the watch itself or my understanding of how this is supposed to work. Any suggestions appreciated.
 
Thanks for the reply. I am currently using Weather Watchface. I have also tried InstaWeather and I don't recall the other one which I have uninstalled. You may be right -- this morning it was off by 7 degrees, but just now it's showing the same.
Do you have the Pro version of Weather Watchface? It allows you to configure the polling interval, which *could* help. You can also change between the Open Weather Map and Yahoo Weather providers to see if one is more accurate than the other in your location.

It helps if you know where the Wx monitoring point is.

for me, the closest point is a high school in a town 12 miles away from me.
their temps are usually within 2 or 3 degrees of ours here at home.
I have a digital indoor/outdoor and my outdoor sensor is just poked thru the screen. If the sun is shining on it, the thing shows several degrees warmer than actual ambient air temps.
