About
Put it on and go to the water. No accounts, no API keys, no setup.
Tide 4a is a clean, readable watch face built for people who live by the tide: sailors, surfers, kayakers, anglers.
Tide graph that works offline, worldwide. Predictions are computed on the watch from harmonic constants of the nearest tide gauge (2,400+ coastal stations worldwide, TICON-4/GESLA-4 dataset). After one background sync per location, the tide keeps running with no phone at all — for weeks. Verified against published tide tables to within minutes.
Next high & low water with times and heights (meters or feet), plus an amber countdown to the next event.
Weather forecast (MET Norway model): 5 slots with temperature, wind speed and direction, condition icons. Wind color-coded by strength.
Barometer fallback: away from the sea you get a 10-hour pressure graph with trend and storm alert instead of an empty tide block.
Sunrise/sunset, moon phase (mirrored correctly in the southern hemisphere), heart rate, steps, battery in days, solar intensity on solar models.
AMOLED: full-color gradients, glow, always-on display with burn-in protection. MIP: crisp 64-color layout.
12/24h clock, °C/°F, m/ft, mmHg/hPa, m/s/knots. English, Russian, French, Spanish.
No configuration is required: the watch face picks the best tide source automatically — built-in stations, nearest world tide gauge, or online extremes.
Requires a phone paired with the Garmin Connect app for weather and tide updates; once synced, tide prediction keeps working with no phone.
