Description
Aviation METAR Watch Face
Stay ahead of the weather with the Aviation METAR Watch Face, designed for pilots and aviation enthusiasts. This custom watch face brings essential flight data to your wrist, displaying real-time METAR weather reports for your selected airport, ensuring you're always informed about conditions before takeoff.
Key Features
- Live World METAR Data – Get quick access to essential airport weather information, including wind, visibility, cloud cover, and temperature.
- Dual Time Zones – Set a secondary time zone with a user-defined offset, perfect for tracking home or destination time.
- GMT Hand – A sleek analog-style 24-hour hand gives you an at-a-glance reference for UTC time, just like classic aviation watches.
- Digital UTC Display – Always keep accurate Zulu time on-screen for seamless flight planning.
- Multiple widgets with custom information (steps, calories, GPS, custom time zone, battery, etc.)
Designed for Garmin watches, this watch face blends style and functionality for pilots who need critical information at a glance. Stay in control, stay on time, and fly with confidence.
Technical Note
- The backgrounds (world map, terrain, etc.) only work with AMOLED displays. If you don't have one, the background will be black and won't change.
How to Set Up?
Open "ConnectIQ" mobile app and go to "Device" - "My Watch Faces" - "METAR Pilot". Tap on "Settings" and input ICAO ID of your home airport (for ex.: KSFO for "San Francisco International Airport" or EGLL for "Heathrow Airport"), also select Dual Timezone and widgets you want to display.
How METAR works?
The Garmin device will request new data every 5 minutes to conserve power. If you change settings, PLEASE WAIT for 5 minutes for all data to be updated.
