Description

If you sail or race on Sydney harbour, you should find this app useful!  

It is a browser on your wrist that you can use to display weather data in a watch friendly format. You need to configure the app before use by going to the Settings screen & pressing the Default button

Once configured, it can provide constantly updated measurements from 3 Sydney Harbour weather stations some 3 south of Sydney (so you can watch a southerly change approaching!).  If you select bom.gov.au, updates are provided about every 10 minutes.  Data is displayable from North Head, Sydney Harbour, Fort Denison, Syndey Airport, Wattamolla, Belambi & Pt Perpendicular.

It will also display the current forecast if properly configured. Sydney Closed Waters is the default.  Note that since some text is abbreviated to attempt to fit in available space on the Pebble, the source web site should be relied on for a current and accurate forecast.

Scroll up & down the 7 stations using the UP & DOWN buttons.

Display the latest forecast with a single short press on the centre SELECT button.

Display the selected tide forecast with a double click on the centre SELECT button.

Manually request fresh weather data with a long press on the centre SELECT button.  The app will automatically request the current weather every 10 minutes - this function allows you to request an update on demand.

Caution - if left active on a mobile data connection, it will use approximately 12MB per day.  It does not retrieve data when the watchapp is not displayed.

Data you access is for your personal use only.
