About

This G-force meter has a display specifically designed to identify how close the user is to the selected gravity level: earth, mars, moon or zero-gravity. This can be helpful when realizing experiments on zero-g flights ("a.k.a. vomit comet") to see if the gravity you desire is achieved, without losing the measuring equipment that stays on your wrist at all times. Of course, your wrist has to be fixed to the reference (aircraft) when you want to measure the g-force, for the app to provide accurate data. The advantage of having it on a watch is that the hand, arm and body will damper vibrations. The vertical bars represent how close you are to the selected gravity. If the bar disappears completely, then you are exactly at the selected gravity. The center bar is fine wheares the 2 outside bars are coarse. On the graph page, the selected gravity will auto-select based on the gravity that is the closest to your current gravity level, and vertical bars on either side of the graph will represent how close you are to that auto-determined gravity. The left bar is coarse and the right bar is fine. On the graph, a dark vertical bars indicate seconds, and for now the best way to save the data is to take a screenshot. You can set a button combo to save screenshots in the watch system. The image created will be dated and can be found when connecting your watch to the computer via USB, under folder Garmin/Screenshot or something similar.
