wristMT User Guide

The Match Select menu is used to choose which match times will be available to select in the the main timer display. This provides flexibility to customise the list to the shooters individual needs. For example:-

• a shooter may only want to display times from the current match being shot to avoid any possibility of selecting the wrong time or
• a shooter does not shoot some of the matches so these times can be hidden from view.

The following matches and times are available to be selected:-

• Bullseye – 600 (10 mins), 20, 10 seconds
• ISSF 50m – 900 (15 mins) seconds
• ISSF 25m – 300 & 150 seconds
• Service – 165, 35, 15, 8, 6 & 4 seconds
• Service 25 – 210, 25, 6 & 4 seconds
• WA1500 – 165, 90, 35, 20 & 12 seconds
• WA48 – 90, 20 & 8 seconds

Used to enable or disable Gesture Mode. This allows the timer to be started by rotating the wrist twice within a 1 second period. There are three sensitivity levels to choose from.

Plus Mode allows the shooter to start the wristMT timer before the commencement of match firing. This provides the shooter with two key benefits. Firstly, the shooter can return their attention to the match well in advance of match firing commencing. Secondly, the shooter is not wasting match time by first starting the timer then moving to draw the firearm from the holster. This is particularly beneficial in the shorter timed stages where there is no time to loose.

There are two Plus Modes available – Plus7 and Plus3.

• Plus7 is designed to allow shooters to start the timer as targets turn to face away for the standard 7 second period. As the name implies, Plus7 adds a seperate 7 second countdown before starting the main match timer.
• Plus3 is similar to Plus7 but is aimed at shooters who don’t use turning targets. In Plus3 mode the additional countdown period is 3 seconds and allows shooters to start the timer once the range officer gives the command “the line is ready” or similar.
• Plus Mode can be disabled if not required.

Icons on the display show if Plus Mode is active. By default, the timer digits also change colour when the timer is in the Plus Mode countdown period. This colour can be customised in the settings. 

Vibrate the watch as follows:-

• Plus Mode Off: When the timer countdown reaches the warning time and again at zero (0)
• Plus Mode On: When the match timer starts (ie: after the 3/7 second plus mode period), and when the timer countdown reaches the warning time and again when the timer countdown reaches zero (o)

Warning Time: The watch will vibrate as the timer approaches zero seconds to warn that match firing is almost over. Early version of wristMT had the warning time set to 10 seconds. In later versions the warning time is user configurable with users able to set a different warning time for each time series greater than 10 seconds.  Warning times are set using the phone application. See the instructions below for Customising Position Change Alerts. for instructions on how to access the wristMT application settings on the Phone.

Note: Vibration needs to be enabled globally in the watch settings. Check Settings->System->Sounds->Vibration is set to On if wristMT does not vibrate

Play a Chirp Sound as follows:-

• Plus Mode Off: When the timer countdown reaches the warning time and again at zero (0)
• Plus Mode On: When the match timer starts (ie: after the 3/7 second plus mode period), and when the timer countdown reaches the warning time and again when the timer countdown reaches zero (o)

Warning Time: The watch will play a chirp sound as the timer approaches zero seconds to warn that match firing is almost over. Early version of wristMT had the warning time set to 10 seconds. In later versions the warning time is user configurable with users able to set a different warning time for each time series greater than 10 seconds.  Warning times are set using the phone application. See the instructions below for Customising Position Change Alerts. for instructions on how to access the wristMT application settings on the Phone.

Note: Sound needs to be enabled globally in the watch settings. Check Settings->System->Sounds->Alert Tones is set to On if you cannot hear any sounds in wristMT

Enabling time slice cause a pie chart to be displayed behind the timer value on the watch when the timer is active. The pie chart is designed to allow the shooter to use their peripheral vision to get an indication of how much time is remaining until the next alert.

The Pie Chart will be: –
– Green when there is between 100% and 50% of the time remaining
– Yellow when there is between 50% and 25% of the time remaining
– Red when there is between 25% and 0% of the time remaining

Time Slice operates in either “Build Up” or “Tear Down” mode. Build up starts with an empty pie chart and builds up to full chart. Tegar down is the opposite. It starts with a full Pie chart and gradually removes pieces until the chart is empty.

Choose either UP or DOWN to set the count direction

Seconds or Minutes

Causes the watch to vibrate briefly whenever a button is pressed. The use of Haptics gives the user feedback that the button has been pressed. This is particularly useful when starting the timer as the shooters attention can remain on the targets instead of diverting to the watch to confirm that the timer has started.

Enabling Activity Recording allows the application to record metrics such as Heart Rate & Steps taken.

See Garmin Connect Activities for more information.

There is a great deal of flexibility available to update and customise the time sequences in wristMT. It’s possible that users may lose track of the customisations and end up with the configurations that don’t work for the built in matches. Reset timer Sequences allows the user to restore the factory defaults to all Time Sequences in the system.
