Could someone develop a widget with a count down to next high & low tides

I've been enjoying summer in NZ, but our local beach is very dangerous at specific times of a tides.

It would be nice to have a widget that tells me how many hrs : mm & actual time to the next tide - low or high.
And sends me a nonfiction when it's reached.

This way I can plan my activities around the tides.

I do have a tide clock on my wall, but I can't take this when I'm out running.

There are several widgets in the store that do tides. They aren't exactly what you want in that they typically give the time of the tide and not the duration between now and the next high/low, but that should be good enough.

Another note... a widget can't send a notification. If the widget is active, it could vibrate or play a tone, but it can't start itself while you are running another app (unless that app requests the widget to start).

Thanks for the suggestion & calcification.

I've tried the ones I can on my Forerunner 235.

The major issue is I can't read it due to the size of the font or its to complicated.

A simple countdown or time to next tide which is legible is all I'm requesting.
It doesn't have to work while I using an activity tracker, I'm wanting it help me plan my day.

Cheers
