Syndik8

Install the watch app

Add Syndik8 to your Apple Watch. Once installed, the watch shows your next booking and balance, and lets you capture a flight from your wrist. For what each surface shows, see Apple Watch app.

Before you start

Section titled “Before you start”
  • You need an Apple Watch paired to your iPhone.
  • Install Syndik8 on the iPhone and sign in at least once. The watch shows the last data the phone synced, so the phone app needs to have run.
  • If you belong to more than one syndicate, set your Default syndicate under Profile > Defaults in the phone app (see Set your defaults). The watch follows that setting, not the syndicate you have open on the phone. With only one syndicate, the watch shows it.
  • This is iOS only; there is no watch app for Android.

Install it

Section titled “Install it”

Many watch apps install automatically when you install the iPhone app. If Syndik8 is not already on your watch:

  1. Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
  2. Scroll to Available Apps.
  3. Find Syndik8 and tap Install.

To keep it installing automatically in future, turn on Automatic App Install at the top of the Watch app’s My Watch tab.

Add a complication or Smart Stack widget (optional)

Section titled “Add a complication or Smart Stack widget (optional)”
  • Complication: touch and hold the watch face, tap Edit, swipe to the complications screen, tap a slot, and choose Syndik8.
  • Smart Stack: turn the Digital Crown up from the watch face to open the Smart Stack; the Syndik8 widget appears there when it has recent data.

Check it worked

Section titled “Check it worked”

Open Syndik8 on the watch. It should show your default syndicate’s next booking and your balance. If it says “Set your default”, open the phone app, set Default syndicate under Profile > Defaults, and let it sync; the watch fills in shortly after.

After reinstalling or reconnecting

Section titled “After reinstalling or reconnecting”

Open Syndik8 on the Watch with your paired iPhone nearby. The Watch asks the phone for fresh data when it opens or the connection becomes reachable. It briefly retries if the phone is still loading; open Syndik8 on the iPhone too if it needs to finish syncing.

“Sync with iPhone” means the Watch has not received a usable snapshot yet. It does not establish whether you are signed in on the phone. Sign in there only if the phone app asks you to.
