This is not a feature request -- certainly don't want to distract from anything I see brewing in 0.9.0 -- but good things sometimes come from daydreaming, and ideally we can find something easily mashed up without much coding.
I'm sure more than a few of us have thought about the promise of smart watches for display of instrument data.
There are already a few ways to do that presently or under development:
Sailoog has referred to this project to get Teppo Kurki's excellent Sailgauge on a Galaxy Gear S2 watch:
https://github.com/e-sailing/sailgauge/tree/watch
This guy has a Java project akin to Openplotter, and has made a Pebble watch app that connect to the server via websockets. Not sure what it would take to connect to openplotter.
https://github.com/OlivierLD/pebble/tree...r/NMEA.app
There are of course some options for iWatch.
http://pocketmariner.com/mobile-apps/boa...atch-apps/
I wonder also about a more generalized approach using notifications:
https://pushover.net/
Maybe MQTT or some of the other facilities developed for Openmarine project could tie in to a watch? I don't understand some of that stuff yet.
Another option for Pebble may be this:
http://www.codewithasmile.co.uk/boat/boat-remote/
or this app which can display data from json:
http://keanulee.com/pebblecards/#api
I'm attracted to the Pebble Time because it is very inexpensive ($60 refurbished sometimes), has a backlit color e-ink display and long battery life.
(Note: Pebble just sold its assets to Fitbit and the platform is doomed.)
