  • It's very good, but I noticed a issue with the light that does not turn off in the countdown mode when the time comes to an end. This occurs on a FR 235 with the latest firmware update. (7.70). I wish the developer could also include a beep at the beginning in countdown mode. And, That's all. Keep up the good work.
  • Hi,

    thanks for your feedback!

    I am not aware of any issue with the backlight. Also the app does not take any action here, so most likely this is more a firmware issue.

    I will add a beep when the countdown is started, according to the app settings.

  • Hey. thank u very much u made this. u just simple save my training. Actually i do not understand how the hell Garmin has no this kind of stopwatch in the basic apps in the watch. Unbelievable.
    i am P.E. teacher and it's basic if u wanna measure a sample race between the kids and u need e.g. 10 different times. The garmin has it but without split time. I should add every laptime for the 1st. Unacceptable.
    Another thing: i can use it via swimming too measure my lengths. The swimming app its not punctual at all so its useless.
    But my first and biggest problem during the running. My previous watch was a Suunto. I think it was better. 2011 models. So I got an alarm every kms with that km's time. The garmin can do the same until u push a lapbutton and after measure another km from that point without km's time. i do not understand what is the point it this. But they miss the basic logical way of thinking they miss the split time. it was autolap and manual lap together. The garmin do not care a split time. What is this?
    Do u have any idea how can I use ur stopper with the running apps to show and measure the split time.
    thank u in advance and thanks to made this apps. Its nice to see somebody use his brain here.
  • Hi Belu,

    thank you for the positive feedback!

    "Do u have any idea how can I use ur stopper with the running apps to show and measure the split time"

    I don't think there is any way of direct interaction between apps. Also if a particular app isn't running it can not listen to input events. So starting your running app and measure split times with the stopwatch app isn't possible.

    Sorry for the bad news...

  • Hi all,

    I have released new version of the stop watch (2.0) which no also supports average sensor data that can be shown for the current and last lap. Additionally the lap list includes this data also.

  • How do i access this on a vivoactive 3?

  • Hi,

    what exactly do you want to access? The app itself is compatible with Vivoactive 3 and can be downloaded from the Garmin store.

    To activate the sensor data please take a look into the app settings for left/right indicator.

    Bye

  • Thanks for the reply!

    I downloaded it on Connect IQ on my phone. I couldn't work out how to get it from there to the watch? Does it just sync itself? I synced the phone in Garmin Connect... Don't know if that did anything.

    Anyhow I swiped up and down and sideways and touched and holded and swiped a bit more but nowhere on the phone could I find the app - where do apps go on the phone?

    I haven't used an IQConnect app before (as you can probably tell). A useful bit of "naive user testing", which it failed! :)

    Cheers, Hugh

  • When you download it on your phone it should automatically sync to your device. Please check the status of the app in Garmin Connect.
