Smart Watch for kayaking - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

JohnMckroidJr · 04-17-2022, 09:22 PM

Been looking at smartwatches for monitoring health and exercise, but also thought it could come in handy as a backup GPS and compass while out on the kayak.

On the last outing between a 2.5kt Nth current, and a storm wind that started out of the Sth and veered to the East, I got disorientated. A 3 axis compass would have been very useful.

Does anyone have experience and/or recommendations regarding smartwatches?
