3.24.2

Seconds for Apple Watch
• Added new compact interval template
• Added new setting for intervals template
• Added option to remove the info bar during workouts
• Added link to Settings from timer controls
• Added option to exit to the home screen
• Restored haptic feedback only alerts
• Restored haptic feedback to all alerts
• Fixed volume control from settings
• Fixed alert enabling from settings
• Fixed watch count down timer not using user defined times
• Fixed delay of alerts and haptic feedback
• Fixed indefinite intervals
• Updated minimum supported watchOS to version 26.
watchOS 26 introduced changes that made the previous version of Seconds for Apple Watch stop working. Unfortunately, there was no way to fix it—I had to rebuild the watch app from scratch.
In order to function as expected, the app now requires watchOS 26. This means Apple Watches older than Series 6 are no longer supported—I'm sorry if this affects you. All Series 6 and newer watches can update to watchOS 26 (you may also need iOS 18 on your iPhone).
If these improvements have resolved any issues you had, an updated review would mean a lot.
3.24.1
2025-11-15
Thank you for your feedback on the previous version. This update resolves:
- Apple Watch navigation issue
- Cut & Paste toolbar hidden
- Apple Watch timer sort order
If these improvements have addressed your concerns, we would greatly appreciate an updated rating.

New Apple Watch app!
As has been pointed out, the latest update to watchOS 26 broke the existing Apple Watch app. The previous version was developed when Apple Watch was first introduced and many workarounds were required to get something that behaved as I wanted. Apple changed how they wanted developers to build apps several years ago and the old version of the watch app and this approach were incompatible, but the new approach was also a step back in many ways and some features were not possible. This led to difficulties updating the app.
The issues relating to watchOS 26 and the previous version of the app have meant that I have had to redevelop the app from the ground up. This means that finally some features that people have been requesting are now included in the app where they were not possible before. But it also means that, in the short term, there may some missing features and inconveniences. These will be ironed out over time. My priority has been to get a working version of the Apple Watch app ready as quickly as possible so that users are still able to use it for their training.
