Description

Windward is a windsurfing watch face built around the wind station at your spot. The bottom half of the dial is the wind meter: speed in knots, gust and 15-minute average, direction with a travel arrow and cardinal, whether the wind is rising or falling, and dusk at the spot, the last of the light, so you know how long you have. A LIVE tag shows while the reading is under ten minutes old; older readings turn grey and show their age. - Pick your station: about 1,170 active wind stations in 94 countries, listed by country, Bat Galim (Haifa) by default; readings refresh every five minutes through your phone - Air temperature from the station, with the watch's weather as fallback Date and time; 12- or 24-hour following the watch setting - One watch field of your choice above the wind block, with its icon: battery (default), steps, heart rate or calories, or hide it - Always-on mode on AMOLED watches shows date, time and the wind speed in a thin, warm grey that shifts each minute - Settings in Garmin Connect: the face's color (ten choices), the station, the text size (standard or large captions) and the top-left field - Works on 89 Garmin watches: fenix 5 Plus, 6, 7, 8 and 9 families (including tactix, quatix, Enduro and Enduro 3), fenix E, epix Gen 2, Forerunner 70, 165, 170, 245, 255, 265, 570, 745, 945, 955, 965 and 970, Instinct 3 AMOLED, MARQ Gen 1 and 2, Venu, Venu 2, 3 and 4, vivoactive 4, 5 and 6, D2 Air X10, D2 Mach 1 and 2, Descent Mk2, Mk3 and G2, Approach S50 and S70 The wind data needs a one-time unlock (USD 5.99, no subscription, through KiezelPay): after installing, the face shows a six-digit code; enter it at kzl.io/code, pay, and the wind appears within five minutes. Nothing to type on the watch or in the settings. The unlock belongs to your watch: reinstalling never asks again. Support: [email protected]. The face requests Background and Communications permissions to fetch the reading through the phone. It sends nothing about you: the station reading comes through the Windward relay, a small service that fetches the station's public page and passes the reading on without storing or logging anything, and the unlock is checked with KiezelPay (your watch's device id, nothing else). No data is collected.

What is new

New "Top-left field" setting: battery percentage (default), steps, heart rate or calories, each with its icon, on the left end of the line, or off. Station list re-verified.
