This particular item is a data field to use in a app. If you have it installed your pretty much there, you will need to configure an app to use the data screen, the instructions can be found on page 13…

How can I customize cadence values and how is the color displayed determined?
Cadence values cannot be customized in app settings.
Thanks!

HR Zones

I cannot set any heart rate value other than max heart rate to a value greater than 100. So zone 1, zone 2, zone 3 and zone 4 are all limited to a top heart rate value of 100. How do I change this? I note that my heart rate zones in Garmin connect are all accurate and they all exceed 100.

almost current pace

Hello deloper,

Thanks for your very interesting app!

I'm a runner with a brand new FR235 (thanks Santa).
I used to run with an Android SW3 watch, with a very nice app called GhostRacer (very flexible and great programmer).

My pourpose is to be able to read the "almost current pace" on an average over X seconds (where X = coustom time or distance).
A good and simple display for 90% of runners I belive could be made this way:
1. Avg Pace on the run
2. Avg pace on a custom distance/time (calculated continously)
3. distance
...huge numebers on a black background; it looks "easy", but impossible - until now - to find on Garmin IQ.

Can you?

Thanks in advance for listening to my request and happy new development year!!

Cadence values cannot be customized in app settings.
Thanks!

Right now they aren't customizable but are based on the ranges Garmin has defined in Garmin Connect. I want to ensure that everything stays stable which is the main concern for me, a datafield providing a basic information view (information overload is distracting for me so it hasn't been a focus). For reference, it is planned that I will add a customize option for HR or CAD to allow it to be replaced with speed values (all the current options) and a high (red), on target (green) and low (blue) marker for cadence. The speed change is so that in multi-sport activities, the field can be used since it can't be customized per activity type in Garmin Connect.

This is the first report of this I am getting. Can you verify that it is still an issue and you have checked this post: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?298209-Data-Field-Single-Run-Field&p=757463#post757463 ? If it is, can you let me know which watch you are using and where you are making the change from (Garmin Connect Mobile or Garmin Express)?

Isn't it the percent of Max hr and not BPM that are configured ?
And hence it is 100 (percent) max
?

PS, please add cadence configuration and do not change field layout !
Thanks for great field

Very very nice field! Thanks for making it available!

Could you add an option to change the background to black in the settings?

The 235s backlight is pretty crappy and white-on-black looks much better when running in the dark, and much better contrast.

Thanks!
