​DWATCH - A MULTI-SPORT ACTIVITY APP AND RECORDER
There is now a companion Android app to upload waypoints to dwatch

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 (2), 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.

During activity recording, pressing the start button will enable you to end a recording and save or discard it, pause recording or continue recording.
After recording an activity, press the 'next page' button to view a summary of your activity. Use the next/prev or swipe up/down to scroll through summary

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.

The app requires the following permissions:
