Does SD have any plans for an Apple Watch companion app?
I’ve been holding off buying an Apple Watch, but if it had some kind of SD functionality on it Imwould buy one in a heartbeat. Many other pilots I have spoken to have expresed the same thought.

Garmin have their D1, but let’s face it - we mostly all prefer the SD functionality over their user interfaces and so it would be great to have a watch that we can quickly glance at to confirm position.

Tim - any chance?
Cheers,

I agree with everything above. From my point of view I tend to fly small cramped cockpit single seat aircraft and primary navigate using a chart, but have SD on my iPad or iPhone in my pocket for a quick cheat position fix if I start becoming less certain.

I like to keep my eyes outside of the cockpit and so for me a watch that I can steal a quick glance at every now and again to give me reassurance of my position relative to surrounding airspace laterally and vertically would be spot on.

So much more convenient than my knee pad - which is used to juggle Aerodrome plates, and key data. In fact many of my flights I don’t even take it or even a pen as loose articles and space are such a concern.

A moving map on my watch, even if it were streamed from my iPhone in my pocket would be spot on.
