How the Apple Watch Became an Angler Watch!

March 13, 2026March 13, 2026

Our friends at Flats Nation put together a smart and timely article on how to program your Apple Watch for flats and inshore fishing—loaded with useful data points anglers can actually use on the water.

The article walks through the key data points displayed on the watch face and shows how they expand with a tap for a deeper look at details like tides. It also covers what you need to get started, how to program it, and how to customize your setup. Since the Apple Watch can store multiple watch faces, the article also explains how to build one specifically for fishing—without needing to keep it on your screen all the time, though many anglers may find they want to.

What we like:

It’s not just a great tool to have on your wrist while running your Hell’s Bay skiff—it’s also perfect for doing a little trip planning during that “important” office meeting when you’re already thinking about splash day.

How to program:

You can read more about how to program this configuration by clicking either on the picture above, or by clicking here to go right to that article. If nothing else, you will know how much time you have left before heading back to the ramp and having to then load the skiff in the dark!

WE DON’T TAKE ORDERS , WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS:

We start by sitting down and talking through the essentials—where you fish, who you fish with, and how you like to do it. Side or center console? Tiller? Fly or bait? Every angler and guide have their preferences, and that’s exactly how we build them. Together, we design a boat that fits your style, your needs, and your waters. Then we craft a vessel that’s purpose-built for the way you fish.

Give us a call or stop by—we’ll help you get started on your next Hell’s Bay the World’s Finest Shallow Water Skiffs!
