I had hella problems with fancywidgets it was freezing my phone and like your saying couldn't keep the time/weather straight. I removed it and problems vanished right away.
 
sometimes the weather providers server goes down...beautiful widgets in like august/september was awful and never updated...fancy widget pro and simi clock have been fine for me lately

I dunno if there was just something about it my phone just didn't like but I ended up changing kernels like 10 times in 1 day with about 30 battery pulls. Finally went back to what I had to start with, deleted fw and have had no problems since then. Most likely just my phone though I'm not bashing the widget its very nice. I just seem to find quiet a few things work on some devices and not others.
 
yea i love the widget too...looks very nice and i love the weather details on it...

but i cant trust it...and i also applied the "remove clock from status bar" .zip...because i didnt want to have two clocks...but looks like i need to find something else that works...maybe i'll uninstall and reinstall...see if that works.

i also tried Clockr from the market, and that does the same thing...

anyway i thought it was just me...
 
If you have Advanced Task Killer (like me), make sure Fancy Widgets is on the ignore list so it's background stuff doesn't get stopped. That might help.

advanced task killer?

task killers are a no-no in android :)

its not windows after all...memory is handled much differently and task killers actually interfere with androids internal memory management....if you are rooted autokiller/minifree manager are ok on the right settings as they work with android

task killers can hurt battery life or best case do nothing helpful
 
I was having terrible problems with the clock locking up for Beautiful Widgets and I even saw issues with Battery widget not syncronizing correctly. I switched from LP to ADW and the issues ceased. ADW took a little more tweaking to get it to look the way LP did stock but I'm happy with it overall.
 
I have a lot of problems with the Sense Analog Clock widget. I get a lot of FC's with it. Fancy Widget is a little better most of the time but I still get FC's once in a while. I might have to try something else.

I had issues with those also. Now I use MIUI digital clock it looks similar to fancy widget but no problems with fc's from it :D
