TriggerLog turns your watch on your shooting hand into a precision shot timer — and pairs it with your iPhone for splits, par times, scoring, and full session history. Replace your $150 dedicated timer with the gear you already own. HOW IT WORKS Your watch has a high-rate accelerometer. TriggerLog reads it. Every shot drives a recoil impulse straight through your wrist into the watch — and TriggerLog timestamps it the instant it happens. Splits stream over Bluetooth to the iPhone app in real time. WHY G-FORCE BEATS A MICROPHONE Mic-based timers listen to the whole range. They false-trigger on the shooter next to you, miss shots when you run a suppressor, and choke on wind, brass, and crowd noise. TriggerLog only fires on recoil running through your wrist — not on sound. That single physical fact rewrites everything that's wrong with mic-based timers. • No false triggers from the shooter on the next bay • Works perfectly indoors, outdoors, and suppressed • Calibrate sensitivity to your exact platform — from .22 LR to .45 ACP to rifle • Immune to wind, plate falls, brass clatter, and RO commands • Always with you — lives on your wrist and in your pocket FEATURES • Stage Timer — random start delay, beep, and live elapsed clock on watch and phone • Par Times — configurable par with end-tone signal for drilling against a hard stop • Splits & First Shot — millisecond resolution on draw, splits, transitions, and total • Stage Scoring — log A/C/D, points down, and penalties; hit factor calculated automatically • History & Analytics — every session saved; compare drills, track PRs, see trends over time • Calibration — live G-meter and adjustable threshold so the watch never confuses brass for shots • Multiple modes — Timer, Par, Countdown, and Stopwatch BUILT FOR PRACTICAL SHOOTERS Whether you shoot IPSC, IDPA, USPSA, 3-Gun, Steel Challenge, or you're just running drills on your home range, TriggerLog gives you match-grade timing without the match-grade price tag. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone running iOS 15 or later • A compatible watch on Connect IQ 3.2+ (fenix 7+, epix 2+, Forerunner 255+, venu 3+, vivoactive 5+, instinct 3, MARQ 2, enduro 3, descent mk2/mk3, and more) • The TriggerLog watch app Stop spending $150 on a single-purpose box that lives in your range bag. Bring your own grip — TriggerLog brings the timer. Privacy Policy: https://triggerlog.co.za/privacy.html Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
