For those who are interested: I wrote a multisport app for Garmin watches:
During a race, it is more often experienced that a button is unintentionally pushed, which is very annoying. For example during the swim, where in the heat of the fight someone else hits your watch or during the bike if you hit your extensions with your watch. It concerns in the stock Garmin Triathlon app the select-button which pauses an activity, as well as the back-button to change activity. Garmin has tried to solve this problem with the newer watches in adding „bumps“ adjacent (only) to the select button. This app solves the problem in an alternative and conclusive way.
To change activity (an activity is also called „leg“), you push the select-button but you have to confirm that with a second push within some seconds. The chance that the button is unintentionally hit twice within a couple of seconds is practically nil. If you do not confirm, the leg just continues as if nothing happened.
Further functions which you won't find in the stock multisport app:
- Upto 10 fields per datascreen.
- Laps
- 3 different changeable configurations, each of which having upto 47 legs (such that the ötillö WC can be recorded).
If you like the app, you can download it for free from Garmin Connect IQ, it's called "Multisport Deluxe".
I use the app exclusively for some time (I also use my watch as bike computer), such that I know it runs stably at least with me.
If you have remarks, you can post them here of course.
