A day in the field is more than the distance you cover. Hunter Watch records your hunts on Apple Watch and brings your route, key moments and activity data together on iPhone. See where you went, what happened along the way and how the day unfolded. RECORD YOUR ROUTE AND KEY MOMENTS Start tracking from your watch and mark shots, sightings, animal signs and harvests right from your wrist. Waiting is part of hunting, too — your whole day belongs in the record. RELIVE YOUR DAY ON THE MAP Explore your route and moments afterward. Browse past hunts on the map and rediscover the places you want to return to. SEE WHERE YOUR HEART RATE CLIMBED Explore heart rate, steps, elevation and calories burned. Drag across the graph to follow your position on the map throughout the hunt. Save your hunt to Apple Health as a hiking workout. KEEP YOUR PHOTOS WITH YOUR HUNT Add photos to a hunt or attach them to individual moments. A view, fresh tracks or the day’s harvest — remember more than coordinates. MAKE IT YOURS. SHARE THE DAY. Create a shareable image with your own photo or a map background. Choose which stats to include and highlight the one that matters most to you. Share it with friends, the group chat or your social feed. Hunter Watch is designed for use with iPhone and Apple Watch. Health data is optional and requires your permission. A paid subscription is required to use Hunter Watch. Terms of Use: https://hunterwatch.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://hunterwatch.app/privacy
