Able to choose weather providers within the Fitbit Weather app

The "one Weather app for Fitbit devices" itself needs to INCLUDE ADDITIONAL options for weather providers (such as The Weather Channel). I'm not suggesting a new weather app. This would just be a feature update to the "one Weather app for Fitbit devices." (I'm fully aware that users can add locations manually, but that's not the point.)
This is needed because:
The "one Weather app for Fitbit devices" uses AccuWeather which always gets your location wrong. For me personally, it lists a city I've never even heard of! I've already reached out to AccuWeather and they are aware of the problem, but don't have a fix or a timeline for a fix.
I'd use this: Daily

Agreed. As an Australian, I find that AccuWeather is hardly ever actually accurate. The BoM (Bureau of Meteorology) would be a drastically better choice for us.
