Do you love your Apple Watch but taking vitals, like pulse or respirations, is a hassle because the display dims too quickly? This is no longer an issue! Let the watch tell you when the time interval is up, no need to even look at the watch! Put the complication on your favorite watch screen, and with one tap you can open EMT Timer. One more tap and you can start a 6 second or 15 second time which will vibrate repeatedly when that interval is up. You don't need to look at the watch, just wait for a "start" signal and count until you feel a "stop" signal. There is also an event timer so you can take time stamps at critical events: alarm received, transport started or arrived, arrival time, vitals, medication, CPR or AED.
