Description
This watchface displays tide level information for your GPS location front and center. Many similar apps on the IQ store have been suspended or no longer supported for various reasons. This one is fully functional.
NOTE: Tide level information is only an estimate, and actual tide levels can vary due to multiple factors and local conditions. This app is not to be used for navigation or any other purpose that may result in personal injury or property damage.
