Simple idea that works well on Pebble
From 3 comments
I really like this. It's a nice simple idea and looks really good. Since they came out with the latest version of the SDK I've been trying to think of some good stuff to play…
zarify on HNThanks for this, just tried it out and it works great
Cub3 on HNVery neat! Works great on my Pebble.

Objections
Vibrations at the start are superfluous
From 1 comment
The three vibrations at the start of the workout might be a bit superfluous; the watchapp already has my attention when starting.

Background image is too large in file size
From 1 comment
Protip: don't make your background image so monstrously large. It's close to 700kb alone :-)

Links hard to distinguish from text
From 1 comment
Irrelevant: We just downloaded a 700 kb of background image and your links are hard to distinguish from text.

Claim of combining a long run and weight room is misleading
From 1 comment
"essentially combines a long run and a visit to the weight room" I'm sorry but it just doesn't, even if it is based on science.

Add accelerometer support for counting reps
From 2 comments
I really like this. It's a nice simple idea and looks really good. Since they came out with the latest version of the SDK I've been trying to think of some good stuff to play…
zarify on HNGreat idea! I was thinking about using accelerometer as well. It'd be cool to track reps and try to beat personal record.

Questions
Does it work on iPhone?
From 2 comments
Does it work on iPhone? I heard they had issues with Apple, and allowing you to download apps from the internet for your Pebble with iOS.
kawsper on HNYeah, they fixed the problem a while ago and you can install apps and watch faces directly to your Pebble from your iOS device.

Paid 7 Minute Workout iOS app
From 1 comment
I made one for Android and iOS and submitted it to the Appstore; probably they won't accept it though as it's 'too simple'? (Mine is free, no ads, I just wanted it for myself)…
