Is it really free?

Yes. No card, no subscription, no catch. We write these guides for the people who wear our watches, and for anyone who works and plays outside.

Do I need a Horonix watch to use it?

No. Every guide works on its own. Where a watch feature helps (compass, barometer, flashlight, calls) we point it out, but the skills are the point.
