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.

  • Yes - I did have the dozen cycle installed first.
  • I'll fix by Wednesday. My fenix3 sapphire was returned to Garmin and will be back on May 10th. Then I will be able to sort this out.
    Did u have the cycle field installed before installing the paddle? I'll check on my end to see if one of the name tags is incorrect...


    Thanks! I also had Dozen Bike and Dozen Run fields installed before installing Dozen Paddle.

    Dozen Swim Data Fields for 920 Xt

    Hello

    Very good work. And thanks a lot to make it free. I tried a bike multifield version before but was limited to 45' of exercice and not as intuitive as yours.

    When do you plan to realease the Swim version for the 920XT ?

    Best regard
  • fbbbrown - First off. Great application. Totally love the new data fields on my new VAHR. However, just a couple of items I like to point out in terms of readability for the HR field, I find the text to be a bit too small to read during running and especially when the HR color changes to the red color, the back ground of the HR really becomes unreadable as you are running as less for my eyes. If possible, I would suggest removing the CAL and AT field and make the size of the HR field large. Also, instead of having the HR zone color cover the entire field of the HR covering the HR bpm # is to instead have it only highlight the Heading (HR) in the zone color. I think this would make the HR field much more readable. Thanks.
  • Dozen Trail/HR

    This data field is great and I have been using it for some time now.

    This suggestion for another version does make a lot of sense to me though and I really hope fbbrown will consider it.
    When running Trails, usually a lot more technical with roots, rocks and ups & downs than regular running, it is very important to keep track of HR as this will not correlate with speed or any other single metric.
    It is also more difficult to read HR when running trails, bouncing around and having to keep more of an eye on the ground in front of you.

    Suggestion for Dozen Trail/HR
    .....CAD | TIMER
    ....PACE | HR
    ----- battery -----
    A. PACE | DIST.
    .CAL | TOD | ASCENT
    ...... | GPS |

    Also, if leaving out GPS could make room for larger TOD digits that could make sense since TOD is very difficult to read while on the trails but I understand if this is not really doable.

    I corrected the Naming issue with the Kayaking datafield. update via GE or Connect.

    Soon, I need to refine Swim data field in the Fenix3 so it makes sense when create in the others.

    Thank you fbbbrown, much appreciated. It is now correctly displayed in the list on the watch.

    No biggie, but the version number on the splash screen still says v1.0 and the HR data hasn't been swapped yet, as per the changelog :)

    v1.1.1

    - Data field name corrected. app name to DozenPaddle in ConnectIQ

    - Swapped AVG HR and HR location. Values align with other actual and Average values.

    EDIT: HR/AHR data correct after a reboot

    Thanks for the latest update, distance per stroke is a great option.

    Dozen Paddle data field is my new favorite :D
