Activity recording icon....

I agree the triangle may not be the best way to indicate that activity recording is set to on (I have a VivoActive, and having Activity Recording 'on' would just be hte default behavior, I'd say, for users of that particular device). In terms of a better icon for that, you may not be able to do this, but how about a little 'foot' or something showing movement....

Just a thought.

(by the way)

I've tried literally almost every watch face in the store, and yours is BY FAR the best, for the VicoActive anyway. Love it. Excellent work.

Sneak preview of a few of the features in the next version...

1) Added two new big time fonts -- blocky and vintage. You can choose the font from Garmin app on phone
2) New activity recording mode icon - little running figure.
3) Show kilo joules or kilo calories. Again you can choose which one from the Garmin app.

Plus more ;-) Yay!

Rupert.

are you using the device setting "activityTrackingOn" for "activity recording"?

That's not really activity recording (like recording a run). It's that step tracking and associated stuff is turned on for the device. If it's off, no steps get counted. I use it to suppress showing the step count and move bar if it's off, for example.

Looks very good, especially Blocky font..

Your watchface is closely associated with an activity tracker as it shows steps, progress bar, inactivity bars etc. and I assume that 99,9% of your users have the activity tracker enabled so an icon of the blue runner is maybe little pointless because it'll be shown every time. Or does it mean something else?

Good work!
