What does BeachFinder do on Apple Watch?

Answer : On Apple Watch, BeachFinder shows the sea temperature, wind, UV and waves for your saved spots at a glance, along with the swim status and distance. A complication can display your beach's status right on the watch face, and alerts let you know when conditions turn ideal.

The essentials without reaching for your phone

On the beach, when you wake up or out on a walk, your Apple Watch gives the verdict in a second: water, wind, UV, waves and the distance to your favorite spots. Perfect before deciding whether to head out or take a dip.

Complication and alerts

Add a BeachFinder complication to your watch face to keep an eye on your main spot's status at all times (for example, "swim OK"). Alerts flag a favorable window without you having to open the app.

Synced with the app

The watch picks up your favorites and settings from the iPhone app: whatever you track on your phone shows up on your wrist.
