About

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. ------- PURCHASE LICENSE AT: KZL.IO/CODE ------- - Pick your station: about 1,190 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 - 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) and the station - Works on 53 Garmin watches: fenix 7, 8 and 9 families (including tactix, quatix and Enduro 3), fenix E, epix Gen 2, Forerunner 70, 165, 170, 265, 570, 955, 965 and 970, Instinct 3 AMOLED, Venu 3 and 4, vivoactive 6, MARQ Gen 2, D2 Mach 1 and 2, Descent Mk3 and Approach S70 The wind data needs a one-time unlock ($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 station page through the phone. It sends nothing about you: the only requests are to the wind station's public page and to KiezelPay to check the unlock (your watch's device id, nothing else). No data is collected.

What's new

The waiting screen counts down to the next reading (after a station change, too). Station names refresh on their own after an update.
