Skyris tracks your flight on your watch, even in airplane mode. Load the flight on the ground, and in the air it works from the clock, the barometer and an optional GPS fix.
EK650, and pick your departure.It's now called Skyris. Same app, same developer: your flights, logbook and settings carry over with the update.
Yes. Once the flight is loaded, time to landing and distance flown come from the clock and the watch's barometer, which follows the cabin pressure through climb, cruise and descent. If Wi-Fi appears, Skyris refreshes the times by itself.
Whenever you like, ideally with the watch near the window. One fix pins your real position on the route and measures your ground speed. GPS is only used when you tap it.
Early in the flight the ETA is based on the schedule and typical speeds. It tightens once you're in cruise, again when descent begins, and immediately after a GPS fix.
On descent the countdown follows the cabin pressure still to regain. If the plane levels off, for example in a hold, the pressure stays flat and so does the countdown. Skyris says levelled off under the ETA, or possible holding when live positions confirm the plane isn't getting closer.
Yes. The results list shows each leg with its departure time, so pick the one you're on, for example today's rather than yesterday's.
Every flight is saved when you land. Open the logbook from the menu to see your flights and totals for hours, kilometres and countries flown over.
No. GPS fixes and pressure readings stay on the watch. Only the flight number and date are sent when you look up a flight. See the privacy policy.
