*** FOR VIVOACTIVE HR ***

The watch face for the modern age in the Garmin Connect IQ store.

Remember .. if you like HRLite or HRLite_White .. write me a review. That is how I know what you think about what I have done. It is what drives us.

If you have a question about the watch face .. leave me a note below or use the Contact Developer link on the download page.
HRLite and HRLite-White has been tested with Vivoactive HR firmware versions 2.60, 2.65 beta, 2.71 beta, 2.74 beta, 2.80 and 2.90.

Note .. I am not doing too many user settings on these watch faces. Things like background / foreground colors etc.

Note .. screen shots are subject to change, see full change log below for updated details. Screen shots may be simulated to show application operation.



HRLite / HRLite-White - FULL CHANGE LOG

[Version 1.40] December 9 / 2016

- Font improvements- Changed wording for 'Error Handler' setting in Garmin Connect Mobile .. to avoid confusion. Please read top paragraph on the download page for details.
- Removed Error Handler Number (formerly in bottom right corner) from the screen .. as it was confusing people as to its use. It can still be used if you are having problems with really low HR values. See the paragraph below for details.

Note ..Re the built in 'Error Handler' user setting in Garmin Connect Mobile. If set, HR Lite will disregard any (really) low HR readings that are below the set 'Error Handler' value. It is not related to your RHR at all. Default is 0 and all HR values are accepted. If it is set .. any HR readings LOWER than that number will be disregarded by HR Lite. [Version 1.36] December 6 / 2016

- changed fonts to increase readability[Version 1.30] November 27 / 2016

- increased Date and Time font for easier readability[Version 1.29] November 9 / 2016

- removed battery color to RED on battery status being low. This was due to the normal colors being easier to see.
[version 1.28] October 31 / 2016

- added launcher icon to take advantage of firmware 3.30[version 1.27] October 18 / 2016

- show Steps to Goal number on odd minutes. This is shown with the word GOAL in screen middle as well as checkered flag. Normal steps display in even minutes.

This is an optional display item .. turned on / off via user setting in Garmin Connect Mobile / Garmin Express.

[version 1.26] September 18 / 2016

- added intensity minutes on the bottom of the display. See your moderate / vigorous and total minutes for the day. Setting in Garmin Connect Mobile and Garmin Express. Default is normal view. The intensity minute display alternates with the normal battery status display depending on the minute. I thought this would be the best of all worlds. See screen shot above.

Due to updated software in this version .. you may need to update your firmware on your VivoactiveHR. You should probably do that anyways. :)

If you have issues downloading from the Garmin Connect IQ store try the steps listed here and try downloading again. This is a Garmin issue and they are working on it.
Apparently you may get a false message that you need to update your firmware when you have the latest firmware already. I personally have not experienced this.

  • Reboot your watch by switching it off completely, and then back on.
  • Plug into your computer with Garmin Express, let it sync, and unplug it.
  • Unpair your watch from your phone and pair it again


[version 1.25] August 7/2016

- added Resting Heart Rate (RHR) check. The watch face will now disregard HR values under your set RHR value (as set in Garmin Connect Mobile, valid range 30-99)

This will allow it to disregard really low HR values, which will influence your Minimum HR values. The default is 0 and will allow all readings if the RHR is not set.
[versions 1.21 - 1.24] Please use version 1.25

[version 1.20] - July 30/2016

- added 24 hour (military time)[version 1.19] - July 30/2016

- fixed Minimum HR issue[version 1.18] - July 29/2016

- removed font stripes for better readability[Version 1.16] - July 29/2016

- date and time (it is a watch after all)
- daily step count
- last valid heart rate reading on left
- minimum heart rate reading for the day on right (RHR), not just the last 4 hours.
- battery gauge with percentage. Turns red at 20%.

Configuration ..

Resting Heart Rate and Intensity Minute settings if desired. See versions 1.25 / 1.26 above for details.


If you have any questions, comments, or really anything, feel free to leave me a comment on this thread.

Thank you ..

    Removed the 'Error Handler' number from the screen today, but DID NOT remove the functionality. You can still use it .. if you desire.

    But people were getting confused about what it was about .. and I found that very few people ever used it.

    You can see the setting below in RED rectangle .. default is 0 and HR Lite will accept all HR readings. If set (as below 37) HR Lite will disregard HR readings LESS than that number. The reason for the setting is I have received really low HR readings (as low as 25) in the past, and this will eliminate that issue.
