How to make the best of the new interface?

My first thought was, do I need the side-scrolling "In Focus" at all? But disabling it costs me one directly visible information slot in the App and six on the Desktop.

So I need to find one widget that is important enough to be shown right in second place after todays activities on the phone and 5 more that are not that important so I don't have to side-scroll, but still important enough to be on top in the Desktop view (like sleep, HRV, weight graph, but then the last two are not even available). I don't even see 6 relevant (for me) widgets that I could use the space for "in focus" on Desktop fully.

Then there is eight slots in "overview" in both. Or I could bookmark my Desktop view to "show all" and have 20 info slots on Desktop. But them I'm loosing in focus there, or I double the Information I have in "in focus" so I can see everything at once on Desktop (14 (6+8) vs. 20 information slots) and have "in focus" on the phone (where I probably won't expand "overview").

I would also have to look at what widgets have more value when shown in "in focus" instead of "overview".

But all that does not help that I am now missing:

  • my last 10 activities
  • calendar view
  • statistics of last activity
  • weight over several days
  • 7 day steps graph
  • heartrate graph with activity icons
  • badges
  • solar intensity

And of course it's dumb to have to scroll so much on desktop when it has unused space in width.

  • I love the graphs there. The downside is writing down the data everytime but the graphs are very nice and provide a lot of options for customizing. In my case I now only use Connect web for searching activities or workouts just because there's no search/filter feature in Connect mobile for those areas.
