METAR Plot for Apple Watch displays station models (plots) as well as raw METARs for most airports worldwide, using current METAR data.  The app features two stations lists: nearby and user-defined. While the entire station database can be used offline (to add station or lookup nearby station), an internet connection is required to load METAR data. Data is updated automatically. Preferences can be set for type of flight rules and units (visibility, temperature, and pressure). Options for observation time in LT or UTC as well as sort order of user list. The app works completely independent from your iPhone and includes complications for watch faces with rectangular and circular types.

About

Pressure Log Tracker

Features
Read full description

Pressure Log Tracker is a focused local journal for barometric pressure readings you enter yourself. Build a clear pressure history without extra setup: save a value, keep its original unit, set the timestamp, and add optional notes for context. The dashboard charts saved manual entries across 24-hour, 7-day, 30-day, and All scopes on one neutral hPa scale. Browse saved manual readings by calendar day, see the reading count for each saved date, or return to All days at any time. Empty selected days remain empty. History also keeps simple saved-entry comparisons without forecasts or sensor data. When you want your own copy, Settings can export timestamp, value, unit, and notes fields as a stable CSV through the system share sheet. Sharing moves a copy outside Pressure Log Tracker. Readings stay local to this device. No account is required.
