GymSetSense+Hiit — Smart Gym Set & Rest Tracker

The gym timer that knows when you stop lifting. GymSetSense+Hiit watches your heart rate and switches to rest automatically, no buttons, no fumbling mid-workout. GymSetSense+Hiit turns your Garmin into a real strength-training partner. Most gym timers make YOU do the work. GymSetSense+Hiit uses your heart rate to detect when a set ends and starts your rest countdown automatically. Chalk on your hands ? Mid-superset ? It just works.

SMART SET TRACKING • Auto-rest detection: senses when a set truly ends — wrist stillness AND a real heart-rate drop, together — and starts your rest countdown automatically, with Low / Medium / High sensitivity (can be disabled) • Long-rest option for compound lifts: arm a longer rest with one button press before a heavy set; short rest stays your default otherwise • Soft "still going?" buzz after 5 minutes of continuous work — a gentle nudge, never forces a switch • One button (LAP) to switch Work ↔ Rest manually any time • Every set saved as a lap in your FIT file, plus a real Sets count in Garmin Connect's activity detail — see per-set HR too • Set counter with accidental-press protection and undo (DOWN) • Experimental rep counting from wrist motion (optional) LIVE DATA THAT MATTERS • High-contrast white data screen built for bright gym lighting • Big HR in a zone-coloured box (your personal zones from your Garmin profile) • Session max/avg HR, per-set max/min HR, native Garmin calories • Rest countdown with 10-second warning buzz + full-width rest sweep bar • Body Battery on the start screen so you know how ready you are • Inactivity reminder if you've been chatting instead of lifting FINISH YOUR WAY After the gym session, pick what's next right on the watch: • Treadmill run — pace, distance, HR zone gauge, then a guided 90-second cooldown showing your live HR drop • Tabata HIIT — adjust work/rest times right on the watch before each block (no phone needed), configurable rounds, each round a lap • A 5-second get-ready countdown before a Run or Tabata starts recording — buzz at 5s, beep 3-2-1, stronger buzz at go — so you're never caught mid-step. Skip early with START, cancel with LAP • Or just save and go — every block is its own activity in Garmin Connect MADE FOR REAL GYMS • Buttons-only control — sweat and touchscreens don't mix (touch can only pause) • No phone needed in the gym — 100% standalone on the watch • Featherweight on battery: a full 45-min gym session plus a 30-min run used just 2% on a fenix 7 Pro • Nothing recorded until you press START; discard protection on every exit path • Pause anytime (gym or run): START pauses and resumes, LAP finishes, DOWN discards • Battery guard force-saves your workout before the watch dies • White, Dark, or Auto theme (dark after sunset) for menus and summaries • Adjustable vibration strength, optional tone alerts • 10 languages FREE AT LAUNCH --- HELP SHAPE IT GymSetSense+Hiit is free right now while I collect feedback from real lifters.

## What's new (v2.3) The biggest update yet — smarter detection, new controls, and a fresh look: • Auto-rest now needs BOTH your wrist going still AND your heart rate dropping before it ends a set — a quick re-grip or breath mid-set no longer cuts it short • New long-rest option for compound lifts — press UP mid-set to arm a longer rest for the set you're about to finish; short rest stays the default • Soft "still going?" buzz after 5 minutes of continuous work — a gentle nudge, never forces a switch • Set count now shows up as a real stat in Garmin Connect's activity detail, not just unlabeled laps • Tabata work/rest times are now adjustable right on the watch before each block — no more digging into phone settings • New 5-second get-ready countdown before a Run or Tabata starts recording — buzz at 5s, beep 3-2-1, stronger buzz at go • Refreshed design across every menu and confirmation screen, in both Light and Dark theme • Pause now also pauses the FIT recording, so Garmin Connect's activity time matches the watch • Smoother treadmill run pause/resume, cleaner lap buzzes, wider rest-countdown bar • Wider device support — 60+ Garmin watches now, including Instinct, older fēnix 5/6, D2, Descent, and more Forerunner/MARQ variants ## What's new (v2.2) Driven by real on-watch testing: • Smarter auto-rest — now senses set-end from wrist motion as well as heart rate, so it triggers even when your HR barely moves during lifting (the old HR-only detection often never fired). New Low/Medium/High sensitivity setting. • Pause the run — START now pauses and resumes the treadmill run instead of jumping to a save prompt; LAP finishes, DOWN discards. Gym and run pause the same way now. • Run screen numbers stay inside their cells (pace/distance no longer overflow). • One clean buzz per km/mile (was a burst), and the treadmill auto-pause no longer flap-buzzes when your wrist cadence dips. • Rest countdown bar now sweeps the full width of the screen.
