Data Field: Dozen Run Fields

Dozen Run, Swim, Paddle and Cycle Data Fields
After others are forcing you to pay for these applications, so I decided to make a great data field(s) and then keep them free. I'm a Software engineer, sponsored runner and run coach, I combined my engineering and running knowledge to bring you these streamline applications.

I put thousands of hours of bench and field testing these simple applications. So, consider a small donation.

Install Instructions:
This Data field needs to be added to the (specific) app within your watch to view.

This is a data field not an application and needs to be added to a single data screen within an application.
a.) Goto settings,apps,run,data screen,screen 1
b.)Set Layout to 1 Field
c.) Set Field 1 to ConnectIQ Fields, DozenRun
d.) run happy!

INSTALL ISSUES:
-"!" Issue: If you receive a "!", completely uninstall, reboot and then reinstall. The Setting file changed and the automated Garmin install is not replacing the setting file.
-Download Issue: if you have the "App requires an update before install", hard reboot your watch TWICE and install again.
-TIMER Issue: If you update/install and you see the TIMER and don't see the Dozen data field.
--The data field update or install may require a restart of watch.
--Or the data field needs added to the built-in application, again.

These are becoming a Data Field Suite, where all field are similar making it easier to read while in an activity.

The Dozen fields are intended for training, the data field works fine for speed work, track or races, but readability in these conditions maybe tougher.




IMPORTANT: If you have a Question, recommendation or problem.
Please provide as much as possible (for example the following):


1.) Watch type, Watch firmware version and ConnectIQ version.
2. programmed from Garmin Connect (phone type) or Garmin Express
3.) Which data field
4.) description of issue
5.) if its a "!" error include the error log from your watch. Connect your watch to a PC using USB cable. The error log is located x:\GARMIN\APPS\LOGS. copy the listing and paste in the post.

Description for all fields
--All watch types are support for all data fields. Coded simple to keep bugs at minimum.
-Race Prediction completely configurable for any distance. Distance is entered in meters. Enter 1%-2% longer distance to adjust for normal GPS error and better race prediction.
-Cadence either from watch, footpod or crank cadence. Color coded to provide instant readability
-Heart Rate field is configurable to several methods: calculation (default), manual entered max HR, or individual zones Color coded to provide instant readability
-Pace/Speed is a rolling average to give a smooth reading configurable from 1 second to 120 seconds (Metric or statute by user setting)
-Distance is the total distance for the activity (Metric or statute by user setting)
-Timer is the actual time of the active time. Not Elapsed time.
- Battery meter uses the entire screen for reliability and acts as a divide to help focus one the upper fields.
-Avg Pace\Speed is a Garmin's provided datafield. (Metric or statute by user setting)
-Calories is the activity calories.
-Elevation based on Garmin's values. (Metric or statute by user setting)
-Time of day either in 12hr or 24 hour (based on user setting)
-(Fenix3/920)Auto background color Black or White background based on app settings
-(230/235) Configurable background color Black or White background (user configuration)
-GPS uses same indicator as iPhone for GPS signal. 5=full, 4=usable, 3=poor, 2=unused, 1= last location & 0 = no GPS
-Blue Tooth connectivity is shown as a blue "B"
-Paddle Stroke distance is a calculated by actual speed / cadence. Displayed in Meters/Feet.

  • Hi,
    I just purchased the 235 and I downloaded Dozen Run Fields, together with another one on the IQ Store. I used the Mobile Connect on the phone to install, not the cable.
    The thing is, can't see how to enable it anywhere. I do not have any "app" to click inside setting nor on the data field menu.
    That's very weird especially considering that I used always MObile Connect to install successfully Widgets and Watch face.
    Anyone had the same problem? I already tried twice to unstall and install again... Any suggestion?
    Please help thanks!

    you have to add to the running app as a single field datafield add as a connectiq field .
    settings>apps>run>datafield>datafield1
    check earlier in this thread there are directions to do so.

    The first step is to take some time to read the thread here. For example, the post right before yours explains what you need to do.

    Thanks, for the comment. Yes as the previous person mentioned the answer is within this thread. I hope that helps. Also the search function within this forum is a good tool too.
    Also, Using the online manual is a better option than the manual included since it is searchable.

    Is there a reason why you use elapsed time vs actual time? I have my watch set to auto pause if at a light or just stopping for a break. I'd want to know my actual exercise time rather than the time I'm out.

    IQ! error

    Hi,
    I am using a Garmin 630. I installed dozen run and like it very much, at least the one time it worked.
    For some reason the data field does not stick and when i launch run instead of dozen data field there is an error "IQ!".
    One additional thing is the setting menu in my android - its like it is not in the correct order and i don't really get it. most fields are set to zero.

    Thanks!

    The android connect is known for issues. For the android install, try to uninstall, reinstalled and use the defaults.
    Better option is to use Garmin express.
    If you can post the contents of garmin\apps\log. So I can address the android issue. Note I don't have an android phone so I cannot test it.

    White bg black text. Option on 235?

    Is it possible to choose a white background/black text somewhere? Now black bg... tried to look in gq express. But not an option.

    This is a great app. But a bit hard to read in daylight.
    Despite that...using it on all runs. So thank you for your effort.

    As of two versions ago the background is configurable. Try updating the data field if there is still an issue, reply here. thanks

    No cadence meter

    Hi, about time someone consolidated the important fields. Just one suggestion, many guys don't have cadence meters, or if your on a mountain bike on a trail, it's impossible to maintain cadence.

    Would be nice as a Dozen MTB datascreen, to have average heart rate instead of cadence.
    Thx
