Hi all,
i like to introduce my multisport app "smartTri" for the garmin vivoactive watch.
You can get it in the app store here:
https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/5ccb776a-1714-4459-a839-a324d974e746
If you have any issues, problems or feedback, please post it here so i can improve the app.
Description:
Welcome to smartTri - your smart multisport app for vivoactive!
If you are in Triathlon, Duathlon or any other multsport activity you may take a look at smartTri. You can easily set up your multisport activity with up to 5 different stages.
So you can setup a “normal” Triathlon with swim/bike/run or, if you want your transition times recorded too, setup an “advanced” Triathlon with swim/transition/bike/transition/run – it’s all up to you!
You want to see your current “speed” during the bike stage but your “pace” during running? No problem for smartTri!
Some main features of smarTri:
- completely free to configure your multisport setup from 2 to 5 stages
- 2 different display setups
- saves all stage data directly during the race
- speed or pace can be set separately for each stage
- km/h or mph support
Planned features:
- improve swimming activity
- add more sport types
Known issues:
- heartrate during swimming is not tested and it might be removed in future releases (because its useless)
- small display lag while switching between the stages:
if you switch stages the current session data must be saved in watch, because of the low performance of the watch, there might be a little lag on the screen and the time may not increase correct for 1-2 seconds.
Don’t worry, total time is calculated correct but display struggles a bit during save process

View Setup: You can change the appearance of the screen during race.
View setup 1 will give you two different screens during bike and run stages with 3 values per screen. You can switch between both screens by taping. The values are shown in big letters.
View setup 2 will give you only one screen during bike/run stages with all race values on it. The values are drawn in small letters and so its a little bit harder so read.
If you hit the Enter button on the right side of the watch, you will enter the "ready" stage - here, all touch functions are disabled und you can step into water without be afrait that app is closed or something. After the next press of the enter button your multisport will start with the first stage configured.
With every additionally hit of the “enter” button the app will switch to the next stage of your multiport setting until you have reached the end.
During the stages, for the heart rate and speed/pace values there will be displayed the average values in smaller, blue numbers on the right side of the screen. The average values will be reset after every stage.
At the end of your multisport the app will show you a “finishing” page with all split times for the stages and the total time needed.
