What's New in HamWatch

July 16, 2026

Band Plan — The ARRL band chart, rebuilt for iPhone and Apple Watch. Pick a license class and every band shows as a stack of per-mode bars, so where you may run CW, data, phone, or image reads at a glance. Filter by mode, or tap a band for the sub-band detail. My License — Keep your call sign and license class at the top of the main screen. The band plan charts your privileges automatically, and your details sync to the Apple Watch. Heads-Up Azimuthal Map — Tap the map to turn it with your compass. The world rotates around you and a fixed marker holds the direction you're facing, so the bearing on screen is the way to point the beam. Faster Solar Images — Solar imagery is cached properly now. Images that used to re-download on every visit come up instantly. More Reliable Data — Every feed moved to new endpoints and retries on its own through dropouts, timeouts, and server hiccups. Fixed timer leaks that could leave the app fetching when you weren't looking.

Great app!

I had some initial problems syncing the app to my watch due to some problems with Apple. A message to the app support had it solved within 24 hours. The app gives me solar data,POTA data, grid square and location, and more. Customer support is outstanding! It’s nice to have all this info on my wrist without having to use my laptop!

Great new app!

I came across this app online and decided to try it out. It’s inexpensive and has lots of useful info. After the download, it worked on my phone but not my watch. I immediately contacted James, the developer, and he got right back to me. The problem was with the latest Apple update which did not work with my watch. Within a day he had contacted Apple and a new update was out that solved the issue. All works as promised! At a glance I get UTC time, coordinates, Grid square, POTA spots and band conditions. That’s really convenient for POTA when I’m trying to travel light without a laptop. And, James’s service is first rate!
