On the va, there is no way to turn off activity tracking. If you "uninstall" the tracking widget, it still does the tracking. It's just that you don't get "move" alerts or the "goal" toast/fireworks...

I didn't know that, I could add an option just for the VA to not show the activity tracking info but it's a shame the VA itself doesn't have that option like other devices. Maybe a better solution would be have the option to be for all devices put back in the icon to show whether activity tracking is enabled at the device level

Thanks. I downloaded it again but do not see how i configure it like the picture. I am guessing it has something to do with VA being setup to do activity tracking? I dont mind not tracking my steps but not sure how to get that view with the Va.

Hi ericallenbyod,

the next version of BigTime has an option 'Activity Tracker' and allows you to hide the distance/joules/steps and bars. Weird how Garmin dont give you this option in the firmware but I have added to the BigTime config for you. Aren't I nice?! ;-)

Hi, I have the Vivoactive and just downloaded your app but I could not find the option to disable the activity tracking like you mention. Could you explain how to disable that display (kJ, km and green and red bars)

Thanks!

Interpreting the red move bar

Can you correlate the length of the move bar and the time not moved? 1 hr = half screen or some thing like that. Also, what are little breaks in the red bar?

Please see the FAQ here

Actually, with the standard move bar levels, the first segment is 60 minutes, and not 30, and each of the smaller segments is 15 minutes, so with all 5, it's 2hrs (or more).
