Waterspeed uses DarkSky.net and Worldtides.info to provide you a 6 days/1 hour forecast with temperature (°C or °F), conditions, tides, wind direction, wind speed, and gust.

Waterspeed uses the same weather providers to research and display wind speed and direction when you save or edit a track.

Please note: Weather, Tides forecast, and Automatic detection are available only if you subscribed to Waterspeed PRO. It applies only to activities started from the iPhone. As for the Watch, edit the track manually to get the wind speed value automatically.

Waterspeed helps you to track your water sports and improve your performance. You can use it in real-time, and also review data and statistics later.

Before going out you can check the weather forecast, wind speed, gusts, beaufort wind scale from your favorite spot, and verify tides.

Real-time use:
on iPhone, choose your sport and click on START. You will see instant Speed (click on Speed to alternate between that and Average Speed), Distance, distance from the starting point, total duration, and the map.

On Apple Watch, choose your sport and click on Start (starting your session also works by turning the crown or by activating the Force Touch). From settings, you can also select what stats to display in real-time.

On Apple Watch, you can also choose to lock the screen and let Waterspeed:

1. notify at each KM/mile
2. save the workout and the route on Apple Health
3. notify by issuing a sound when a session starts

On Apple Watch, pause your activity by using the Crown, the Force Touch, or by clicking the side button and the crown at the same time (as if you would take a screenshot). While your session is paused, the screen will become orange.

On both devices, you can also use a Countdown tool for your races.

Review & Analyses mode:
on your Apple Watch, click Settings and then Diary. Usually, tracks are automatically synced between your devices so you can review them wherever you want.

On your iPhone, open the Statistics page to get a graph of your performances over a selected period.

On your iPhone, click on Diary to filter your activities and calculate totals. Click on a specific track to gather details, graphs, heart rate, and speed. Use the slider to move the point you are interested in or select a specific point by tapping it with your finger. From the icon in the upper right corner, choose “Adjust track” to edit your track (for example, if you forgot to stop recording at the end of your session, or if you had a short break while in the water, you can trim the track and take out the unnecessary data).

Use the icons on the map to: see a satellite map, see only a partial map, go full screen. Click on the Play button to see an animation of the performance.

Click on Splits, to see your speed at a single distance (eg. every Km).

You can also:

• merge 2 or more tracks
• compare 2 tracks
• clone a track
• export as an Image;

You can save your equipment and also set up your default equipment per sport, to have it saved automatically (check the Settings tab).

Finally, share your activities (don’t forget to use #waterspeedapp) on Social, send manually to Strava (if you log in from the Settings tab it will upload automatically), export as GPX or Excel/CSV to upload, Relive, Garmin, Google Earth, etc. or take a photo and save on your track.

Although it rarely crashes, we suggest not doing so. To keep track precisely of various stats, Waterspeed uses a lot of the Watch’s resources. Using other apps (especially those that use GPS as well) could affect performances with the uncommon risk of Waterspeed crashing because of the watch being overloaded with information and tasks. We have to deal with one limitation of the device!
