Description
This is a single data field (for running, biking, etc.) that displays a heart rate (HR) zone, and four parameter readouts: distance, timer, heart rate, and any combination of current, lap, and overall average pace. Key features include: • Color-coded HR zone and HR BPM readouts. • A pace field that can be enabled to cycles every few seconds between any combination of the current pace (C), lap pace (L), and average pace over entire run (A) types. The font colors used to display each pace types are also configurable. Via the app settings, select the desired pace types and the ("Pace Swap Time (Seconds)"), which specifies how long to display one pace type before switching to the next. • A layout optimized to maximize the font of the parameter read-outs. Bigger fonts means easier reading at a glance! If a parameter value gets too large, the font for that parameter will be reduced so that the entire value remains visible. HR Zone Details The five HR zones are read from the user profile on the device. The HR zone foreground and background colors are configurable.The HR zone is displayed as a small color-coded strip across the top of the data field. The HR BPM readout is also color coded, using the same configurable color scheme. A capability is also provided to disable color-coding of the HR BPM readout when the HR zone is below some threshold, which is called the “Lowest Color Zone”. This is useful, or example, if you only want the HR BPM readout to be color-coded only when your HR rises to or above that HR zone. To enable color-coding of the HR BPM readout for all zones, set the Lowest Color Zone to a value of “1”. To disable color-coding for all zones, set the value to “6”. The current clock time is displayed in the small strip along the bottom of the data field. (It is quite difficult to read on most watch types, but the design puts the focus on large fonts for the data fields.)
What's New
• Adds support for Forerunner 255 series watches. • Increases font sizes for the recently added Forerunner 955 Solar watch, and all other supported watches that have the "260x260 round" geometry (Approach S62, Fenix 6, Fenix 6 Pro, Fenix 7, Forerunner 955, Legacy Hero First Avenger, Legacy Saga Darth Vader, and Vivoactive 4). Note: The previous version 2.2.5, which had only been posted for a few minutes, had some test code that produced fixed parameter values, e.g fixed Distance, etc. If you had the bad luck of updating during those few minutes, you'll definitely need to update to this current 2.2.6 version to fix that.
