Waterlands — Fishing & Hunting Session Tracker

  Waterlands is the wrist companion to the Waterlands mobile app. Start a session on your watch,
  log catches or shots with a button press, and sync everything to your phone over Bluetooth when
  you're back in cell range. No Garmin Connect upload, no cloud account, no extra battery-eating
  data connection — your session stays on your watch until you tap Sync in the phone app.

  Built for anglers and bird hunters who want to map their day without pulling out a phone in the
  rain, the snow, or the middle of a float.

  Features

  • One-tap session start with GPS track recording (saved as a standard FIT activity).
  • Log a catch or shot with a single menu action — each event is stamped with time and location.
  • Live home screen: time of day, elapsed time, catch/shot count, and a GPS fix indicator.
  • Pending-sync counter so you always know if there's data still waiting on the watch.
  • Sessions are stored persistently on the watch — power off, change batteries, swap activities;
  nothing is lost until you've successfully synced.
  • Works fully offline. The phone connection is only needed at sync time.

  Activity types

  • Wade fishing

  • Float fishing
  • Wade fishing

                                                       The activity type drives the species/event list in the phone app and changes the on-watch label
  between "catches" and "shots."

  How sync works

  Open the Waterlands phone app and tap Sync. The watch hands over any pending sessions over BLE —   typically in a few seconds per session. Once the phone acknowledges receipt, the session is
  cleared from the watch. If the phone isn't nearby, just try again later; nothing expires.

  Requirements

  • The free Waterlands companion app for iOS or Android (required — this watch app does nothing on
   its own).
  • Bluetooth pairing between your watch and phone via Garmin Connect Mobile.                        • Location permission enabled for the watch app.

  Waterlands does not upload your tracks to Garmin Connect, does not contact any third-party server
   from the watch, and does not require an account on the watch side. All sync is direct
  watch-to-phone over Bluetooth.
