NonStop Watch
· v1.0.1
About
The NonStop watch is a simple stop watch designed to be easily accessible and very easy to use. It sports a "one button to rule them all" interface and unlike most other stop watch apps & widgets, this one allows you to freely use other apps and widgets without disrupting your timing (thus "non-stop"). You can even turn your device off and on and have your timing continue!
Using the NonStop Watch
1. Get to the widget
Find the NonStop Watch widget by pushing your up/down arrow buttons while on your watchface until the NonStop Watch screen appears.
2. Use the ENTER button to start and stop the timer.
NonStop Watch will continue to function when you leave the screen—you can go and use other watch functions without disrupting your timing. The NonStop Watch will not impact the other functions you perform.
3. "Double click" the ENTER button to reset the timer.
If the timer is running when you reset, the timer will continue to run starting from 0. If the timer was stopped when you reset, it will be stopped at 0.
The Display
The time shown will gracefully display more time fields as the length of the stop watch time increases. The largest times will show:
[days] [hrs]:[mins]:[secs]
100ths of a second will also be shown for times less than one hour (when stopped) and less than one minute (when running).
Limitations
1. The NonStop Watch screen will revert to watchface after a given time of inactivity. This is a general limitation of all widgets. For the FR920XT, this is one minute. To keep the widget up for a longer period, push the Power button for a short time. Your other option is to just let your watchface come up and then just hit the up/down arrow buttons to redisplay the NonStop Watch.
2. You can't time anything shorter than 4/10ths of a second. This limitation will be removed when the FR920XT updates its API implementation to include more key and behavior events.
3. When you want to time across powering off/on your device, leave the NonStop Watch screen before powering off.
4. No lap ability (will be in a future app).
Specs
