Apple Watch

Hi Harry,

Just noticed the apple watch in the accessory section. Can you please explain how I can use it wit laptimer? any improvement in watch ios 2?

Cheers,
Henry

It shows the current and last lap time - pretty much a simplified Timer view. It is possible to cancel and reset timing in addition. The solution is pretty limited by WatchOS 1 capabilities and is planned to be improved sometimes in the future. The planned version will display the lap history and enable work out mode for the faster sampling rate. Real time features will be removed again because they add little value. Today, you need to enable work out mode manually to get reasonable heart rate recordings.

hello I can not get the heart rate watch with my apple in order to integrate the video

[Harry]

Please check:

1) Do you run LapTimer GrandPrix?
2) It is recommended to switch the Apple Watch to Workout mode while driving. Otherwise, the update rate of measurements is so low it hardly generates any reasonable data per lap. You can check the rate recorded in the Health Kit app. In case you do not get the heart rate gauge or the Heart Rate Chart (Data Recordings), please verify there is really data available in HK for the time range of the LapTimer recording. NB: LapTimer does not store any HK data locally, it requests data from HK when displays / overlays are requested.

Hi,
please check first check if within the health app -> Sources -> LapTimer is enabled for reading health data.
Second: Please double check if heart rate data exactly sits within the lap time.

If still not working, please send screenshots of each heart rate datapoint (detail view of each data point as we need the precise second) and the export (.hlptr) of the lap (only the relevant lap!) to tracks@gps-laptimer.de

LapTimer does not store any HK data locally, it requests data from HK when displays / overlays are requested.

Presuming the prerequisites are met (Laptimer enabled within Health app, workout recorded on Apple watch), the Heart Rate data should appear as available data during Overlay Configuration?



Just trying to understand as this feature is not documented within the Video Documentation PDF.

Thanks.

[Harry]

There is no configuration for Health overlays. In case you run GrandPrix (or upgraded Rookie / Petrolhead) and health data is available for the time range of a lap, heart beats are added automatically.

Ah interesting. I will give it a try this season. Thanks.
