Odd.

There has been over 8,000 downloads of the latest version (0.3) of BigTime and this is the only reported issue.

Could you please tell me what version of the firmware you are using? Ta.

Vivoactive v3.3

It's not a game breaker. I don't generally have the watch face on during activities anyway. Just thought I'd ask.

As requested, for those that don't want or have the the activity tracker running, BigTime now doesn't show the steps, distance, cals, move bar but instead shows a large day and date (gotta use that space for something ;-) )

Fully configurable :

Show day yes or no
Text or numeric formt
Day/month or month/day

Coming in next version!

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.

Uninstalled the activity tracking app on my va. We will see if that fixes it

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...

Thanks for the clarification and actually that is good. Those alerts are getting a little old honestly.
