Datafield: Pace Maker / Rabbit - Feedback wanted!

Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi!

We're creating PaceMaker - an app which'll give you tips while you're on the race. We currently finishing our first prototype - an iOS app communicating with a Pebble smartwatch. We're now planning a support for Garmin watches. We wan't to start it with smth that we find very useful during our training and races: knowing distance that you're racing against we're giving you estimated finish time based on

current pace
average pace

Our iOS app on top of that advises you on pace based on LTHR - we'll add support for Garmin watches with this feature later on.

Do you find those two pieces of data (estimated time of race based on avg/cur pace and LTHR based pace advice) useful during races?
What else of advices/tips would you like to use during races?

Current iOS: screenshot and wireframe.

I'd look at existing realizations that are already on connectiq store. It is not clear to me, what benefits your application will bring? Do I need to take phone with me? If no (I hope), then what are the advantages?

Those are in fact great questions! I would focus on three things right now:

We're multi-platform. We work in very similar way on iPhone+Pebble, Garmin IQ or Apple Watch alone
We're allowing to change pace of what you're targeting *during* race if you don't feel that strong on this day
In future we'll read history from Garmin Connect and give you personalized hints based on LTHR, power, etc.

Please let me know if that makes any sense to you.
