Download Anchor Watch Pro / Alarm on PC

Have been using this for about two months now. Currently cruising in the Bahamas and spending a lot of time at anchor. App works great. Easy to reposition the anchor point manually if you forget to set it right as you drop the hook. Need to remember to turn off the alarm when the app is running in background, even though I've disabled the battery saver mode. We have seen the notification text feature work when we have 2 phones connected to the, but tricky to have that connectivity at anchor

Very good and reliable product once you have found a device that won't kill the process for "battery conservation". We are using it all the time when anchoring, allows us to sleep soundly, does not produce too many false alarms and has saved our boat a couple times in the past year. I really love the integration with telegram too, as it allows anyone I want to join the group that gets notified. Of course, I made knots in my head regarding the setup initially, but the answer I got solved it.

I'm a very experienced sailor and have been using this app for over a year. I think that it's excellent! I use the 'basic functions' of the app, and haven't messed with the messaging features. My approach to using the app is pretty straightforward in that every time I drop the anchor I'll 'set the Anchor Watch Pro either by using the "current location" at the moment I lower the anchor, or the 'advanced' location feature if I've already paid out my rode. One really fantastic thing that you can do with this app is to use it to check the 'set' of your anchor. So, after you have deployed your anchor and let out a sufficient amount of rode/scope then back down on your anchor to be see that it's holding. I have a catamaran and will put both engines in reverse at about 1/2 cruising RPM. While doing this I keep an eye on the app and look at the "distance from anchor" number and, once the tension is fully on the anchor, that distance number should not change much. I've had many occasions in which this little 'feature' of the app has saved me a lot of potential grief because it quickly showed that my anchor was moving. Highly recommended!!
