## WatchMate Description
The WatchMate App connects with your Vesper Marine AIS Transponder to place remote control functionality and situational awareness in the palm of your hand on your iPhone or on your iPad.
 
The WatchMate App becomes the user interface for configuring and remote control of your Vesper Marine AIS Transponder, especially where it does not have its own display such as the Vesper Marine XB-8000.

- View AIS Targets received by your Vesper Marine AIS Transponder.
- Setup and manage collision prevention alarm profiles.
- Manage your MOB alarms.
- Control and view your Anchor Watch alarm.
- View your AIS Transponder's own GPS Position, Course and Speed.
- Check the operational status of your AIS Transponder.
- Remote control of your AIS Transponder settings.
- Switch easily between Silent Mode and Normal Transmitting mode.
- Configure your Vessel's AIS Static data. (MMSI, Call Sign, Vessel Type, Vessel Size)
- Perform firmware upgrades.

Connects to your WatchMate device's WIFI access point or by being on the same wifi network.
- Supports Vesper Marine XB-8000 AIS Transponder.
- Supports Vesper Marine  WatchMate Vision®.

The complex nature of our innovative WatchMate App makes coding mishaps difficult to eliminate despite the superhuman efforts of our developers so please remember Vesper Marine does not warrant that this product is error-free. As the adventurous user it's your job to exercise common sense and the best navigational judgement you can muster. Although we think the WatchMate App is awesome nothing beats using all your human senses, so best you still rely on these at least as much as you rely on the WatchMate App for making navigational safety decisions. Our advice is; even with the WatchMate App it’s still a clever idea to maintain a permanent watch and use more than one aid for navigation.

## WatchMate Reviews in Vereinigte Staaten

### **--- "There must be better AIS alarm apps"
For one this does not appear to stay active while in the background on iPadOS. Does not appear as a an app in Background App Refresh settings. Then it does not recognize when a target has passed and continues to alarm if I bring it into the foreground.  As much as I don’t care for Navionics AIS it does seem to provide reasonable and appropriate collision alerts. Considering they are both Garmin owned now you would think they could benefit from each other. However this seems to be a classic problem as companies are swept up.
-- Roadsailor89, 2025-08-29

### ***-- "Range ring bug"
It was great to see an update to the app after 2 years as I had feared Garmin had abandoned this software. Unfortunately, they introduced a new bug whereby AIS tracks plot at the wrong distance from your position relative to the range rings (the track details display the correct target range).
-- Happy Parent, 2024-07-30

### **--- "Buggy software"
Software has bugs. I regularly need to force close the app and re-open to get my anchor data to load. No alarm history. Basic functionality for AIS. No Ability to “silence” an AIS target for 10 minutes, the alarm just constantly goes off every few seconds. Random WFi connection issues.
-- astroman20, 2022-09-11

### ***-- "Anchor watch feature needs work"
I know the GPS coordinates of my anchor. Why can’t I enter or at least see the coordinates? Twenty five foot increments for distance limits is too large. If I have dragged  even 10 feet I should be warned.
-- aspindel, 2021-08-22

### *---- "Connection Failure"
IPhone and iPad do not connect to the Vesper XB-8000.  Can not use the WatchMate app.  When trying to connect to the Vesper XB-8000 device it just says ‘No Internet Connection’ and never connects.  Have been in contact with Vesper and they can not resolve.  Do not waste your time with this app or any other, such as Navionics, that you want to connect to the Vesper WiFi.
-- Unhappy Boater in NC, 2020-10-06

### ***** "Excellent app for an excellent device"
Vesper’s AIS unit is excellent, and this app enables essentially full remote control of the device. It appears very reliable, and I find it extremely useful when on passage, as well as when anchored. So, almost always...

Vesper’s Vision unit has a very well thought out anchor alarm, and being able to quickly see the anchor alarm display when away from the nav station is very useful.

Ditto for AIS data, of course...

Highly recommended for Vesper AIS owners.
-- DelicutKaffee, 2018-03-31

### ***** "Must-own app for VesperMarine AIS!"
If you own a VesperMarine AIS, then you'll want this app on your phone/pad.  My Watchmate Vision is down at the navstation because I didn't want that many more wires being routed through the binnacle.  This app makes it easy to use the new anchor watch system when dropping the anchor.
-- Bob Muir, 2016-05-28

### ***** "L"
Good
-- soonb1, 2015-01-21

### ***** "Great update"
The addition of the plotter view took this app from merely useful to fantastic. Now it functions as a great backup to the chartplotter  while at sea.
