Read it in glare.
Current speed large enough for spray and bright sun, with your session best marked on the ring.
WAKE is a Garmin Connect IQ app built specifically for personal watercraft.
Track speed, distance, airtime, jumps, conditions and a bearing back to where you started, all from the Garmin on your wrist.
The ride, on the record
Water closes over everything. WAKE remembers what happened before it did.
You come in after two hours offshore with wind in your ears and no idea whether that last run was your fastest, how far out you actually went, or how long you were in the air off that swell.
The ride was real. The record of it never existed.
WAKE is a watch app that fixes that.
It sits on your wrist and pays attention. Current speed, big enough to read in glare and spray. Top speed held on the dial so you know what you have to beat. Distance covered, time on the water and airtime, counted from the motion your watch can actually feel.
WAKE watches for the free-fall signature, counts every jump, times every one and remembers your longest airtime of the session.
Five screens. One press apart.
WAKE speaks marine by default. Knots and nautical miles because that's what the charts, the forecast and the VHF use. Nothing important is buried in a menu you'd have to find with wet hands.
Current speed large enough for spray and bright sun, with your session best marked on the ring.
Jumps counted from free-fall detection, with every airtime event measured and your longest held for the session.
Distance, elapsed time, moving time, heart rate and calories in one ride context.
Save a point at the ramp. WAKE gives you a compass bearing and the distance back to where you started.
Wind strength and direction relative to your heading, plus air temperature from your watch's weather data.
Set a distance from home and WAKE can vibrate when you pass it.
Distance, time, top speed, airtime and jumps resolve into one animated summary, together with the conditions you rode in.
Your ride saves as a standard Garmin activity, ready to sync to Garmin Connect like the rest of your activities.
If you choose to link Spotify, WAKE can show the tracks that were actually playing during the time window of your ride.
Native by design
Because it was. WAKE reads the display at launch and changes its visual treatment to suit the hardware in front of you.
WAKE has no servers. No WAKE account, no sign-up, no analytics and no ads. Your position, your heart rate and your ride stay on the watch and in your own Garmin account. There is nowhere else for them to go.
Who it's for
Anyone who rides a personal watercraft and already wears a Garmin.
Riders who go somewhere rather than in circles: island runs, coast hops, a long morning out and back.
Riders who chase wake and want to know whether that last jump was actually the big one.
Riders who launch alone and want a number telling them how far from the beach they are.
It is not a race telemetry system and it doesn't pretend to be.
What it doesn't do
WAKE cannot read your craft. Engine speed, fuel, water temperature and trim live on the craft's own network, and Connect IQ has no access to it. Everything WAKE knows, it knows from the watch on your wrist.
WAKE has no map. The home screen gives you a bearing and a distance, not a chart. It will point you back; it won't navigate you around a headland.
