feature request swim app: 5 sec delay before switching to rest screen

Former Member over 7 years ago

If I take a shorft rest during my swim and press the button to start the rest period, the watch immediately switches to the rest screen, showing a rest counter and some limited data underneath.
I would prefer a 5 second delay before the rest screen is shown, so I have still time to inspect the values shown on the data screen.
Sp press the button, display the data screen for 5 seconds and only then switch to the rest screen.
Ideally the number of seconds delay is adjustable, but 5 seconds would be a good starting value in my view.
My rest period will usually be 20 seconds or longer so it is no problem to not see the first 5 seconds and have some time to see the data of the previous interval (depending on the settings of the data screen).

Add Interval stats to a page and switch to that page during the rest period. Then you can see your stats for what you just completed.

Thanks, TrippyZ can you explain further how to do that?
In the swim app settings I can only set data screens, pool size, alerts, background and accent color?
I have no idea where or how to set interval stats.

Hi TrippyZ can you explain further?. I tried whether I can swipe to another screen during rest and this is not the case. How can I see intervals stats during the rest period?

wdwd:
are you saying you want to see data other than "last interval distance/time" and "overall distance/time" during your rest? I believe this is the info that normally shows while you're in rest status -- however it's very small and not easy to see.

Or, are you saying you want to see that data in big font before the rest second counter starts?

Yes, godolphins I would like to see other data. I would like to see last length swolf, or number of strokes and interval time. I am focusing a lot on technique and want to get immediate feedback whether the changes I make also make a difference to the swolf for example. The proposal is that whatever data fields I select for the data field display, are then still shown for 5 seconds during the rest. The alternative could be to get a possibility to swipe back to the data screen during the rest period.

sorry, doubt i know how to help -- assuming you're correct you cannot swipe left/right to see interval screen during rest. (if you cannot do this, it seems like this would be an easier/better solution for Garmin)

the only other solution i can think of is for you to take a quick look at your interval metrics before you press button for rest -- would that work?

by the way, I haven't changed my data screens since fw 3.40 update -- are you saying that if you change metrics in data screens, this does not change what data/metrics you see at the bottom in the rest screen?

I could take a quick look before pressing the button, but then the measurement of length/interval time and swolf would be influenced by the time I take to look at and interpret the data.

I think the bottom of the rest screen is fixed and is not influenced by whatever data you choose to display in the data screen.
