The WatchMate is
made in New Zealand

Ultra-Low Power Consumption

The WatchMate is designed to be used on small and large sailing and power yachts. However, it is especially well suited for yachts which are energy minded, particularly on long offshore passages.

It works seamlessly with other AIS systems, such as chart plotters and computers, but is fully functional as a stand-alone display unit. When power is a concern you can still safely leave the WatchMate "on-watch" all the time.

The WatchMate typically uses less than 100ma at 12V (1.2 watts).
