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.

  • Is it possible to NOT color in the whole field at the top of the VA3 (cadence and HR), similar to how the VAHR is configured? The contrast is not very good with some colors, and it is difficult to read while running. Thanks!
  • thanks for the heads up distance display over 100, I will correct for the next update!


    This is just the kindest reminder ever.
  • Thanks for great app, use it every run now, so almost every day!

    One small wish fbbbrown, could you invent a way to indicate time to/of sunset somehow - and after sunset this could swap to time to sunrise? Here up north at this time of the year this would be very useful. It could be some sort of graphical indicator, a bar like battery, even alternating field on time of the day field.
  • I have the very same with my FR735XT. I just tried unistalling the Dozen Run, rebooting the watch, and reinstalling. I'm going out for a run shortly, I'll let you know if this fixed the issue.


    Did you manage? I am having the same problem. Pity, i have found this datafield so useful so far!

    thanks

  • Trying to install on 920xt. Software version 9.8. Garmin Connect version 6.9.1.0.
    I powered off and back on and still cannot find the app.
  • Re: DOZEN WALK

    Was it a deliberate decision, fbbbrown, not to add a rolling average setting to Dozen Walk? If not, are you inclined to add this option to the list of future changes?

    All dozen fields are a data field and need added to a single screen in a built-in app.
    From the clock watch face, long press menu button (touchscreen long press screen)

    “ACTIVITY” is the builtin-in that is desired to be set.(Run, Bike, Row, SUP or Swim)

    In the main menu select: Settings >Activities &Apps> “ACTIVITY”>“Activity” Settings >Data Screens>
    Select first Screen: then
    Set Layout to the entire screen
    Set Field 1 to >ConnectIQ Fields>Dozen____


    Most watches are the same as described above, but there could be small differences.

    Dozen Walk does have a rolling average for speed and pace. Both Speed and Pace are using 3 second average.

    from my notes, the user was adding the Stryd power meter as a generic power sensor not as a Stryd power meter. I do not own one of these stryd devices so I cannot give exact details.
  • Dozen Walk does have a rolling average for speed and pace. Both Speed and Pace are using 3 second average.


    I dont wish to be offensive, because you gave much to me and the other users for free, but Dozen Walk needs more speed/oace smoothing then Dozen Run, since walking speed/pace is lower than running ones, and therefore the GPS accuracy is better for runs than for walks.

    While in Dozen Run there is an option to set an averaging between 1 and 25 seconds, in Dozen Walk there is a built-in averaging of 3, which might work good during a walk in a meadow, but it is too low when hiking in a forest/canyon or during urban walks.

    But anyway thanks for the clarification and again no offence meant, I do respect your work and contribution to our entertainment.
