Thanks, I was just thinking that 2 large fields in the middle row is what I need.
Would also like a lap time/lap distance version of "Datafield: Large time and distance in one line (kms)"

Is it possible to make a smaller colon character btw, not to touch the surrounding numbers?

There is a value in System::DeviceSettings called "distanceUnits" that you could use to display miles or kms using the same DF based on the device settings.

Just a suggestion, but could reduce the versions you need to maintain. And maybe "is24Hour" for 12/24 hr display of time if you show TOD anyplace.

i like how yo made the 2 fields look like 1 large field.
I presume in the code - there's nothing magic, just careful placements of the characters?

I would suggest to have a Pace/Heart Rate in one line, in addition, will the text change to white with dark background if I choose it in vivo?

Yes, very creative. I don't need it, but a big thumbs up. I assume it's just showing the upper and lower part of the same data field, with a huge font. Cool!

Awesome thanks! I'll have a look.

<Update>

I had a look and that works perfectly thanks. I've updated the app to use this at:

Hey. No sorry the text and background colours are fixed. There may be a way to pick up the selection you make in settings. I'll try and have a look next time I'm coding.

Yes exactly! The fields all update at almost exactly the same time so it works.

It's a shame you can't use 3 custom datafields, or you could do some very cool things with the screen pretty simply.

Vivoactive displays not readable while running.

I cannot read the display on my Vivoactive while running, so the app with the larger font would help me. But, for some reason I get an error message every time I try to download it.

Please can you create a black background version.
