Hi Tim,

Have you considered to integrate the Apple Watch in future releases as a remote display and alert device?

Best,
Marc

There is not enough demand among our subscribers to make this worthwhile. It does not seem to be a particularly popular product.

I was considering a Garmin D2 delta but that would have meant switching over to the Garmin Pilot app. I tried it, but think it is inferior to SD (at least for VFR flight), so no go. Also, that watch is mightily expensive.

Functionality that fits particularly well on a watch:

- timers (switch tanks)
- FLP plan filing and closure (preparation is better done on iPad beforehand, but I usually submit when I arrive at the airport)
- Time/Distance until next waypoint/arrival
- warnings/alerts (?): might be somewhat intrusive though
- next radio freq (I just love this feature in the profile view: you see which Freqs are coming up)

Smart watches are here to stay. Integration with SD would certainly be a plus. If I was CEO of SD, I would stop development on PC (to free resources), and start with Apple Watch.

Regardless: SD still reigns as it is.
