Yes, we apologize for the confusion, but events have overtaken us and we haven’t had a chance to revise all of our information.

The raceQs smart watch app started life on the Pebble smart watch, then Pebble released the Time, Round and Pebble 2, and then in December 2016, went out of production.

In April 2017 we released the app on the Garmin Vivoactive HR and in July we also released it for the Garmin Quatix 5 and fenix 5.

As long as the Pebble app store remains in operation (entirely out of our hands), the app will continue to run on all Pebble watches except the Round. but it will have no further upgrades, or fixes. All of our development efforts are now directed to Garmin product line.

We operate entirely independently of Pebble and Garmin, so have to “bend with the wind”.

The app is still in Beta testing, meaning we continue to frequently update the code and that unfortunately results in the app often differing from the support documentation.

Again, apologies for the confusion, but sometimes life is just like that.

Have you looked at the user guide on the home page (raceqs.com/smart-watch) ? It covers most of the functionality, and we will be adding to it as we progress.

The future? Traditionally we software developers don’t give away too much before it’s ready, mainly because we don’t know what is possible till it’s done, we don’t want to promise more than we can deliver and we don’t want to give away our good ideas before we’ve completed them!

We would love to hear any suggestions for improvements.

As to adding this functionality to the iPhone app: the whole thrust of the watch app is that it doesn’t need a phone to operate, so retro-fitting it to the phone app doesn’t seem to be a productive use of our resources.

Nope. Garmin remains tight-lipped on all questions of timescales. Sorry.

Hi I have a Garmin EPIX

these are supported via Connect IQ but i Cant see RaceQ

Can you assist

Geoff,

Yes, unfortunately Garmin turned out to be a disappointment so we have turned our attention to Apple Watch. We put a post on Facebook in November, and I have just re-posted it in this forum under Pebble App (Beta) › RaceQs on Vivoactive.

Thank you, Alan.

For what it’s worth, I’ve just confirmed the current behavior of the “Up/Menu” button on my own personal Fenix 5 (middle button on the left side of the watch), testing it within an app, as well as from the watch face/default watch screen.  It behaves as follows, which I hope is what you would expect is the “fixed” or correct behavior.

Within an app:

• short-press: UP within an app.
• long-press: Brings up MENU within that same app (did NOT bring up the Garmin system menu).

The only time I could get a long-press of the UP/Menu button to bring up the system menu was when the watch was in “watch face” mode, NOT running an app.

If you are able to somehow make the legacy Garmin app available for the Fenix 5 again, I’d be 1) incredibly grateful, and 2) happy to help with beta testing or feedback of any kind.

Oh, and I would also NOT expect any continued support or help with bugs, given that you’ve already stated you’re moving away from the Garmin platform.

Thanks again for the excellent resource/platform that RaceQS provides!

Regards,

Felipe.

Yes, it certainly does. We have returned to the Garmin platform, so look for raceQs on the Garmin App Store.
