There has been some great improvements to the watch development support for a while now... but the user experience and development has still really only been for on the watch experiences.
Users would benefit greatly if developers can tailor the activity summary page in connect mobile, - appropriately for what their application is providing. At present for example page 1 might have time , distance, calories and something else, which may not be the information users want to see, but is not editable by developers. Im talking about being able to display fields both when you first open GCM.... as I find typically almost no information on that page on the activity use case, have to click on activity and then once inside a lot of that info may not be applicable/ relevant.
I have 2 suggestions to take the user experience to the next level.
1. Allow dev's to specify what information is displayed on the pages available in GCM in the summary once, and also the pages once Activity is selected. This could be as simple as keeping the layout, but dev specifies value and units if the layout cannot change.
2. Allow devs to use arrays to plot custom 2d graphs, and reorder the order the graphs are displayed.
I feel the garmin has done a great job for its apps, and its displays... but there are so many more use cases the more and more versatile these watches get. Allowing 3rd parties to impact how their captured information is displayed can only be good right ?
