Information is power

Use this app extensively through two hurricanes,....
beach living has its costs,... knowing where the surge is
and how fast it’s moving (because this app shows you both)
of those
That’s good information to have

Waste of $, for me

Was expecting to be be able to see ocean temp on the watch app like in the photos. Can only see weather photo & description of weather conditions on watch. Phone app is good and informative (limited info, but I'm sure it's accurate) but info can be found on other apps for free. If you search, most other apps like this get their info via API from NOAA. Conclusion, waste of $ and useless app for watch, look elsewhere for phone app.

Great

Love this app. It has the information I’m looking for before I head out fishing or to the beach. It provides current information for the closest buoy to my location.
