FULLY FEATURED WEAR APP

Adds the

Wear Stand-up Alert

app on your Android Wear smartwatch: it works without any additional downloads. Configuration happens on the watch:

►Toggle monitoring / alerts

►Adjust vibration

►Toggle notification

►Set temporary move goal / time limit

►Adjust "office hours"

►Shows activity mini-chart

 

BUBBLE CLOUD LAUNCHER INTEGRATION

The app also works as a

plugin

in

Bubble Cloud Wear Launcher

:

►The two apps share step-count monitoring → battery saving

►The

step count Bubble will turn blue

when you've been sitting too long

►Access the sitting alert settings from your phone's Bubble Cloud app!

Works without limitations with the Free version of Bubble Cloud Launcher

 

I made this app to also work as a plugin in order to maximize the battery efficiency of Bubble Cloud Wear Launcher: when both apps are installed, step-count monitoring is only done by Bubble Cloud Launcher

 

------ HINTS & TIPS ------

 

ACTIVITY CHART

Shows your steps in the last 8 x 15 minutes (2 hours). Watches may differ in step detection. You will see what your particular watch detects. Note: the activity chart will only appear after 15-30 minutes following installation (and only if there was at least one step detected).

 

SET AND FORGET

In day to day practice this is a fully automatic app. You set the active hours of the day, the reminder frequency and the limit based on your watch, then it will politely do its thing. No more fiddling necessary.

 

NEVER DISTURBS

It will not frustrate you with unwanted, repeated alerts: if you are not in a situation when you can get up, just keep the notification. It will go away automatically as soon as you get to get up. No repeat alerts.

 

FALSE STEP DETECTS

Our watches do a good job of differentiating steps from other movements, but there will always be mistakes. Experience:

►Moto 360 (1st gen) 20-30 false detects / hour

►Huawei Watch 60-80 / hour

 

INITIAL SETUP

Enable "Inactivity tracking", and do your sitting work for an hour or so. The activity chart will show you how many steps were - falsely - detected when you just worked at your desk. Set movement goal slightly higher than the number of false detected steps in the sample hour.

 

IN PRACTICE

If you don't get up for a period of time, the watch will remind you:

►Walk around for a few minutes → the watch will vibrate with a different pattern, and the notification disappears

►Alternatively you can swipe to dismiss the notification (but this is then counted as if you've stood up) after this if you don't get up, the alert will repeat after the set period of time

  ↓↓↓

In short:

Do not dismiss the notification if you are not in a situation when you can stand up. It will not alert you until you do get to get up
