BUG: Nore movebar problems with simulator and 920t

1) Left my 920 over night but this morning the move bar isnt showing at all. Surely it should be at 100%

2) Simulating the steps works in the simulator, but the move bar doesn't seem to, i.e. set the step count to say 2 a minute then fast forward 33 minutes and the first part of the bar should show, it doesn't.

I could have sworn this worked in a earlier version of the simulator

Garmin - could these be fixed please as there no point having the move bar tech without it working.

    1) My bad, the move indicator was off!

    2) Still not working as far as I can tell
  • on 1)

    On the real device, you won't get the move bar during (and a bit before) your configured sleep times. So if you have you normal sleep time set for 10pm to 6am, take off the device at 9pm and put it on at 6:30am, there won't be a move bar. Also, if you have a move bar when you take it off at night, it will be cleared the next am.

    This is normal. It knows when you are sleeping, so no move alerts.

    Thanks, makes sense. Shall you have to have the Garmin activity widget installed to get move stuff in custom watch faces. But hopefully G will fix.
  • That seems to only be on the 920. I get the move levels on the va without the widget

    Also, in the simulator, when you do have the move bar, if you set it to even 1 step per min, the move bar gets cleared with the first step. It's been that way since 1.0.0.

    The vivoactive is the exception in this case. Since it's primarily an activity tracking device with some sports tracking features, you cannot disable activity tracking even if the activity tracking widget is removed. Other devices like the 920XT and Fenix 3 are designed with sports/fitness in mind first, and offer activity tracking as an additional feature. By design, if the activity tracking widget is removed from these devices, the activity tracking features are disabled.

    "By design, if the activity tracking widget is removed from these devices, the activity tracking features are disabled. "

    But there is inconsistent behavior here. I'm just talking about the 920 here.

    You say if the activity widget is removed the activity tracking features are disabled. I've found that ONLY the move indicator is disabled BUT the OTHER activity features still work, i.e. steps, calories etc.

    Why cannot we have ALL activity features still working and not just some?
  • Hi Jim,

    old thread but still interesting !

    But i do not understand the difference in the simu between accelerated Time simulation and Fast forward Activity monitoring, since time simulation does not affect moveBar , only fast forward... maybe some logical tricks?

    Thanks !
