## What is PaceBuzz?

PaceBuzz is a track stopwatch built for Apple Watch, with every detail designed by elite runners.

TAKE SPLITS WITHOUT HUNTING FOR BUTTONS
Turn the Digital Crown to take a split. Press both side buttons together. Screen taps do nothing mid-run, so rain, sweat, and accidental brushes can't ruin a session. Took a split by mistake? Nudge the crown (turn, reverse, turn) to undo it.

FEEL YOUR PACE
The haptic pacer taps your wrist at every 100m or 200m target split. Pick the pattern — a single tap, a fading wave, or a four-count around each split — set the intensity, and fire it a tenth early so the buzz lands exactly on your line.

A DISPLAY YOU CAN READ AT SPEED
The biggest live seconds-and-tenths readout of any track watch, updated ten times a second and perfectly centered on every watch size. Your last three splits, total time, heart rate, and GPS distance sit one glance away — and Split Focus dims everything but the big digits when you want nothing else.

WORKOUTS ON YOUR WRIST
Write structured sessions on your iPhone — 8 x 400m in 75 with 1:00 rest — and they load straight onto your watch. The face shows what you're running now and what's up next, counts down timed rests, buzzes every rep, and even reminds you to spike up.

HANDS-FREE LOGGING
One long crown scroll opens the effort log menu. Scroll up to log your R.P.E. for the previous rep, or scroll down to log your Lactate, so you don't forget. You can log everything with the crown - mis-tapped touchscreen avoided.

EVERY SESSION, KEPT
Runs land in History automatically, with splits, heart rate, and cadence charts you can scrub through. Share your splits as text anywhere. GPS is optional — and Auto-Pause stops distance (never your clock or your buzzes) while you stand around between reps.

PACEBUZZ PREMIUM — PAY ONCE, YOURS FOREVER
Everything above is free. One $4.99 lifetime unlock removes the capacity limits: unlimited current workouts, your full run history, workout archive restore, and manual Strava upload — save any run as a TCX file with laps, heart rate, and cadence, ready to upload. No subscription, ever. Family Sharing supported.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts, no tracking, no data collection. Your health, location, and motion data never leave your devices.
Built by elite runners, for the track. Requires iPhone and Apple Watch.
