DWatch displays an incredible amount of information on one screen while recording an activity. Get the app: apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/47ae634a-8303-41d6-ba41-9a4393660cc3
The title screen shows your heart rate (1), number of notifications (3), phone connected (3), activity type (4) and battery status (5). You can choose to have either the current time or the current activity timer as the central display element. You can also choose to have the GPS turn on when you start the app so that your activity starts immediately, rather than waiting on a GPS fix.
Before starting an activity, tapping the screen will bring up an activity menu to set your current activity to walking, skiing, hiking, cycling, cardio and two custom activities. The statistics displayed can be customized.
To start recording an activity, press the right button. Once you start the activity the screen will roll through your specified data without any interaction. Total vertical ascent and descent will be added to your recording for all activities except cardio workout.
Each interval, specified in settings, will set a lap indicator in the recording as well as provide an interval status. While skiing, the app will detect riding the lift to add a lap interval.
Using the app-settings function from your phone you can change a few attributes:
- Update speed in seconds (1-60), how often the screen is updated
- Start GPS on app launch or only when activity is recording
- To conserve battery life, turn on GPS only when activity is recording. There is some delay between starting the activity and acquiring a GPS fix.
- For immediate activity start, turn on GPS at app launch. The current GPS fix status will be displayed, once you have a fix, activity recording will start immediately
- You can choose to display current time and date or activity timer in center of screen
