Description
Altimeter Watch is designed to take advantage of the GPS in your Apple Watch Series 2 or 3. It provides you with a chart of your history over time.
There is an included complication that will periodically update to show your most recent altitude.
To allow for more frequent GPS data collection, this app includes a Workout Mode. When Workout Mode is activated, the Altimeter Watch app will stay in the foreground, and show your altitude history every time you raise your wrist.
When Workout Mode is stopped, your workout can (optionally) be saved to Apple Health.
Using Workout Mode decreases battery life, please only use it when you need detailed altitude data.
The app also includes a companion iPhone app that allows you to inspect the data points collected by the Apple Watch in detail.
Altimeter Watch only works with Apple Watches that are equipped with built-in GPS. This app does not work with Apple Watch Series 0, or 1. It also does not work with iPads.
Disclaimer: GPS altitude can be inaccurate indoors, and in enclosed vehicles such as aircraft.
Altimeter Watch is most accurate when your watch has a clear view of the sky.
