FAQ

With the revision 2 beta 4, RChrono restart continuously!
This is due to the persistent storage. When you quit the RChrono to return to the main menu, RChrono save a lot of data. When launch RChrono the saved data are restored. It's during the retore process that the Peeble firmware goes wrong and make RChrono crash. The solution is to do a factory reset in to completely delete the saved data. The factory reset will also delete all the other application and data, and you will need to re-install all the application.
I didn't have problem when I switch from the beta 4 to the beta 5.

RChrono - A running chronometer watchapp

RChrono?

RChrono is a chronometer watchapp for the PEBBLE watch.
Features are:
• 30 laps
• Up to 999h59min59s
• Final time calculation
• Auto-distance
• Time display
• Completely offline (no need of a smartphone)
• Data saved if you quit the application

Why?

Originally I created RChrono for my TIMEX Datalink USB watch (10 years ago). Running GPS were not common, so I developed a chronometer that gave me an estimation of my final time in a marathon. I used it in some marathons before I bought a running GPS.
Now I have the PEBBLE and for some training I want to use it. While I'm training I don't wear my phone so that's why I decide to adapt my old program to the PEBBLE.

How it works?

First, RChrono is a standard chronometer with 30 lap's capacity. The interesting feature is the final time calculation.

An example of use is better than a long description.
You want to run a marathon. In the setting menu, you set 42.2 for the final distance. At the beginning of the race you start the chronometer. Commonly on a marathon you have label each 5km. At each label, you press the lap button, you enter the distance and the watch will estimate the final time. The final time will be updated each you time you enter a new distance.
In order to calculate the final time, the program calculates your average speed and estimate the final time assuming that you will continue to run at the same speed. Simple…
The Auto-distance feature allows the program to automatically add an amount of distance at each lap. For example, if you set 5 the program will add 5 to the distance each time you press the lap button. You will have just to validate the distance (or you can modify the distance).

Navigation

When you start the application, the "Chronometer page" is automatically displayed. After you have the following navigation thru the pages.
