Therefore, Vesper Marine does not guarantee that this product is entirely error-free. As an experienced user, it is essential to apply common sense and rely on sound navigational judgement. While we believe in the functionality of the WatchMate App, nothing can replace using all your senses for making navigational safety decisions.
