Full-size soaring
Awareness on the wrist beside the panel — glide range, airspace, traffic and a backup barometric vario.
Radio-controlled
Tools for the pilot standing on the hill with a transmitter, not sitting in the cockpit. Sold on the Garmin Connect IQ Store.
Tools
Not flying anything. A watch carries sensors, a clock and a radio whether or not there is a cockpit around it — this shelf is for getting at them and putting the numbers somewhere useful.
From the cockpit
These apps don't replace your glide computer or your panel vario. They add a layer of awareness the panel can't always show — and a barometric vario as backup.
Today's glide computers are excellent — but they switch automatically between navigation and thermal screens, and in thermal mode the list of reachable landing fields disappears exactly when you are low and circling. On the wrist that crucial information is always there: which fields are estimated within glide under your current L/D, glide speed, wind and safety-margin settings, and the glide ratio each one needs.
An independent barometric variometer on your wrist, reading climb and sink straight from air pressure. If the panel instrument is busy, reconfigured, or simply on another page, the watch keeps showing the lift.
Flown over Norwegian soaring country on real hardware — a Forerunner on the wrist beside the panel, not a mock-up in a simulator.
