How do I find charts and radar?
See How To
How do I find radar?
Open radar from the spot view using the cloud and lightning button.
How do I find forecast charts?
Open forecast charts by clicking on a spot. Some spots come with multiple charts so you can compare available forecast models. If more than one chart you can scroll to see the others.
Why does watch data look stale?
There are multiple reasons this can happen.
The most common reason this happens is due to the spot not being updated recently. The weather station data update timelines vary by location and equipment. Some spots update every 5 minutes while others update once a day. It is also possible that the spot is completely offline but not reporting such.
Ensure your device is connected to the internet.
Ensure you are signed in to the app on the phone and your phone and watch are nearby long enough to sync.
