Bike bell

Dear developers, can one of you create a basic bike bell? Just a button to press and my garmin edge 1030 would be ringing continuously to warn people on my way, until button is pressed again.

Hey everyone,

I've just finished making the bike bell feature! It’s a data field, so you can add it to your workout screens. The interesting part (which might be a pro or a con, depending on how you see…

Unfortunately I don't own an Edge so I can't test it. (Watches don't support touch in data fields, like I said.)

I only suggested supporting touch in Edge since it's an app for cyclists.

Latest Garmin edge 1050 has integrated this option...one button and the Garmin rings like a bike bell. Developers are maybe also on this forum!

So it turned out that the issue was that I was using WatchUi.SimpleDataField instead of WatchUi.DataField. Clearly the onTap() function does not work with the SimpleDataField.

Hi there, could this be developed further for runners. Maybe by the shake of the wrist or press of the screen activate a bell/alarm sound to warn approaching pedestrians. Thanks

Hello!
This is a great idea, especially because activating through touch or button press only works on certain edge devices! That’s why I initially implemented automatic activation based on speed. However, the shake-to-activate feature is a brilliant suggestion, thank you! I will develop this feature soon!
