Use the digital crown to zoom in/out and touch & drag on the screen to move around the map.
Unfiltered Flight Data
PlaneWatcher shows you all aircraft, unfiltered, unlike most major flight tracking apps. Made possible by our amazing data provider ADSBExchange, the world's largest source of unfiltered flight data.
Local & Worldwide
View aircraft around your current location or jump to any airport in the world. Use the digital crown to zoom in on a busy LAX or watch aircraft taking off and landing at JFK.
Aircraft Details
Simply tap on an aircraft to see all its details: flight name, registration, type, category, operator, altitude, speeds and more (depending on data availability).
Aircraft Following
Interested in a single aircraft? Follow it as it proceeds among the other traffic. Just tap the small blue dot to exit follow mode and return to the main map.
Multiple Filters
Just want to see aircraft below 10'000 feet, Boeing 747s or only planes from a certain airline? You can filter by altitude, type, callsign or registration. Filters can be combined, too.
Customizability
Customize the display using many options. You only want to see helicopters and hide all small airports? You can do that and much more...
Complications Support
With many different complications available, designed to fit into all color schemes, PlaneWatcher is always just a tap away.
