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.

  • last update not working

    On my FR235 with latest update the datafield doesn't appear anymore. It's listed in the available data-fields list, but then it's not displayed during the run (1 DATAFILD).

    SOLVED: rebooting twice.

    Thanks Brian!

    Mine started working at the same time as the elevation corrections were correctly disabled... Garmin fixed a f3 serial number database on a server somewhere, I think.

    Did not help: delete dozen. Reinstall dozen via GC.
    Did not help: soft reboot.

    Did help: remove dozen...
    Soft reboot and then install dozen via gcm.

    Same here : my F3HR show the iq! logo. Sometimes at the beginning of the run, sometimes during the run. I did not understand when it turn to this logo...

    Timer does not move on 920XT with the latest 9.20 FW. Timer always 0:00

    Not sure if i spoke to you via email but this is the fix. I updated the settings file and during the update the old settings file does not get deleted, so becomes stale and is cause the "!". Usually an uninstall/reinstall does it but the fenix3hr and fenix5 family are needing the reboot then install.

    in the simulator it's working, but that is not 100% reliable. So, i have access to a 920xt, and i'll check the elapse timer display. If there's a problem, I will update the app store.

    Thought of adding vo2 max to a5/s/x and 935?

    Hi,
    Asked this a while ago and you said you would think about it.
    The tracked RRE and kcal -post workout data are great.
    It would be also nice yo have vo2 max data on the devices with enough memory.

    Thanx for a great DF!
  • My wish for DozenCycle...

    Thanks for great Dozen.. data fields.

    My wish lfor future development of DozenCycle:
    - Larger fonts for HR and Cadence. HR and Cadence are the two most important data fields to me. I would like this information to be in the same font size as Speed and Distance are today. Please continue with the colour background.
