About

Ready Steady

Read full description

Ready Steady is made for your training runs on the track: An accurate stopwatch that records heart rate and pace, and lets you easily time your rests. Features include: • Acoustic pacemaker. • Records heart rate and pace. • Your training session will show in Apple’s Fitness App on the iPhone. • Stop the run by tapping anywhere on the screen. Ready Steady prevents the display from sleeping on wrist-down. Also, con­sid­er setting the wake du­ra­tion to 70 s and activating “Wake on Wrist Raise”). • Long-sleeve mode (bump to stop). Works even if the watch is covered by a sleeve or glove: just give the watch a hard tap or bump your palms against each other. This works even if the display is sleeping. • Using the 3-second acoustic countdown means you do not even need to start the stopwatch manually, which makes the measurement even more accurate. • During the rests, Ready Steady shows the current rest as count-up, as well as a progress bar (if you have set a target rest, which is optional). • The little Bluetooth icon is shown if an external heart rate sensor is connected. • The current heart rate is shown even before the first run begins. • Optionally, choose to proceed to the next run automatically after the given rest time. • On the Apple Watch, you can see an overview of the runs and rests so far, including minimum and maximum heart rates. • Ready Steady on the iPhone lets you inspect your training session in more detail, including heart rate and pace. • The pace can be shown in m/s, s/100m, min/km or min/mile. • Use a two-finger pinch to zoom in and out of the heart rate and pace graph. • Tap on a run or rest to automatically zoom and scroll to the respective section. • See the average heart rate and pace in the currently visible section. • The list shows the minimum heart rate during the rests, and the maximum during the run – this includes up to 30 s after the run as the highest heart rate reading usually occurs shortly after you cross the finish line.
