In this app, you can create one periodic timer or a sequence of multiple different timers. This section explains how to create timers.
Create the 1st timer
Just press the center of the screen or turn the wheel of your Samsung Gear watch to create a timer. This will open the timer creation menu.
The timer time is displayed on the left side. Turn the wheel to change the time. Tap this left button to activate the timer.
Top button is used to activate or disable the repeat mode. When repeat mode is ON, the timer is a periodic timer.
Bottom button is used to activate or disable the callouts. The app generates alarms before the timer is over.
Finally, the right button is used to select one of the 7 predefined modes.
All timers are based on minutes. The duration of a timer must be from one minute to 59 minutes.
The border of the watchface is colored to show you the timer position in local time. A marker shows the position of the alarm at the end of the timer. The marker indicates the duration of the timer in minutes.
The color of the border depends on the selected mode:
- Mode A : green,
- Mode B : red,
- Mode C : yellow,
- Mode D : blue,
- Mode E : orange,
- Mode F : purple,
- Mode G : white.
While the timer is being set and not yet activated, the timer start moves with the current local time. The timer start time will be definitively set when you tap the left button.
Periodic timer
A periodic timer is a timer which is endlessly repeated. The period is set by turning the wheel of the watch. Markers are displayed on the border of the watchface to show you the position of the alarms in local time.
When set, it can only be stopped by deleting the timer or disable the repeat mode.
When you create a periodic timer, you can’t create another type of timer. If you want to add more timers, you have to remove the repeat mode of the existing timer first.
Callouts are alarms generated automatically by the app to notify you that the timer will expire shortly. When activated, up to 4 alarms will be set (5mn, 3mn, 2mn and 1mn before the expiration time) depending on the timer duration. If your timer expires in 3 minutes, only 2 callouts will be generated.
The screen you can see on the left of this text is an example of the callout generated 5 minutes before the timer ends.
7 modes are predefined and case be used to identify the timers.
