This is a must purchase app if you have a smart watch! Perfect interval timer. I'm on a fossil gen 5, stick to editing the custom intervals within the wearOS watchface app on your phone. You can do it on the actual watch but it can be kinda clunky.
I bought a Fossil Gen 5 and wanted to use it for my runs without a phone. Loading music and attaching a Bluetooth headset was the easy part. Then I had to install Wear Logger to enable the on-board GPS. But still, I needed a replacement Tabata timer to manage my run/walk cycle. This app is brilliant. I start my music, switch to this watchface, which starts the prep countdown, then start Wear Logger. This runs in the background and beeps through the music at each interval. Update 6/22/20: Latest update makes it even better by allowing 0 reps for indefinite timer loops and sound level as % of watch media volume. Perfect!
Really neat app. Bit of a learning curve but well worth sticking with it. If you have an older Sony Smartwatch 3, you'll need to wait patiently (days!) for the updated WearOS to see it (not the developer's fault, of course). But it does load eventually and then it's great again.
This is my 1st review of an app... TimeWear Plus is by far the best timer app for any type of exercise. I do Not have to have my phone with me on the gym floor, Yaaaa!!!! The developers are Awesome and respond and take into account any questions and suggestions.
Limited to just 3 different intervals
Does exactly what I need. I use it on my Moto360 for air pistol practice and matches. Needed multiple presets for different types of exercises. Run this timer for 90 mins (match duration) - no negative impact on my watch battery. I like that I still get all my email and Google Now notifications while running the timer. Would be nice to have an option to change vibration when the timer ends.
