Watchface: ActiFace [FR920XT, Vivoactive, epix]

Petr.Koula
over 10 years ago
Watchface link: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/7ef071c3-4a14-4eb3-aca9-e3a531262711

You can donate the ActiFace development via PayPal here: http://bit.ly/1RoLv4i

!!! IMPORTANT - PLEASE, RESTART YOUR WATCHES AFTER WATCHFACE UPDATE IF YOU HAVE SOME CONFIGURATION ISSUES !!!

Watch Face contains:
- Time and date
- activity history graph (past 7 days + today) in kCal and km/mi (or steps)
- maximum or sum or average kCals and km/mi (or steps)
- daily goal progress and step count
- custom fields
- status and notification icons
- inactivity indicator. Removing of inactivity levels is handled by the watch firmware, usually it takes about 3-4 minutes of walking.
- "goal reached" indicator in the week graph (small white triangle)

Supports 12/24 time format and km/mi.

Configuration
------------------------

ActiFace can be configured via Garmin Connect Mobile or Garmin Express.
Here is how to do it: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?332843-How-to-App-Settings

Possible settings:
- Color
- Date format (and second date format in case when the notification icon is shown on Fenix-like models)
- Inverted mode (white background)
- Graph description - values above the graph - week maximums, sums or averages
- White line - switch between daily steps and distance for the white line graph
- Color graph style - switch between curve graph and bar graph
- Custom fields types (differs between models):
* UTC (with TZ offset)
* UTC24 (with TZ offset, always 24H format)
* steps
* distance
* calories
* goal percentage
* heart rate
* altitude
* week goal percentage (counted all step goals and steps from the beginning of the week)
* week distance average (counted from the beginning of the week without today)
* week steps average (counted from the beginning of the week without today)
* week calories average (counted from the beginning of the week without today)
* sunrise/sunset times
* climbed floors
* climbed meters/feet
* descended meters/feet
* week intensity minutes percentage
- Enable/disable seconds
- Enable/disable inactivity indicator
- Battery indicator type (Fenix3 only)
- Color graph line

    Thank you for your watch face.
    Some ideas:
    1) Seconds and sunrise/sunset, constantly changing each other. I would like to have both at the same time.
    But personally, I did not need any information about calories. Can you put the option in the settings to the right of the clock were at the same time - seconds, sunrise/sunset and the distance ?
    2) Graph. I don't interest in calories in graph, but interest in time workout. Is it possible to make option - opportunity to choose - calories or time of workouts a day. And under graph instead of average calories will be average or sum time of workouts.

    New 920XT Won't work with Actiface

    I have successfully used actiface on my 920 until yesterday. I received a replacement 920 due to GPS issues. I have installed Actiface and can select it on the watch but it is ignored and simply reverts to the Garmin default. I have removed everything in apps/settings and data as described on IQ but still same issue. If I install a different face such as Big Time then that works ok. Please help as I much prefer actiface.

    I have included below the contents of the Log in APPS just in case it shows anything useful but the errors look like they are related to ANT rather than anything to do with the Watchface.

    Hi,

    did you also updated the firmware in your new 920?

    Then, you can try to update your Garmin Express to the latest version and reconfigure ActiFace.

    desktop app won't change settings

    I have a Vivoactive and connecting it with a cord to my PC desktop. I have updated Garmin Express, and my watch is up to date. I go to manage apps, select actiface, click to change settings. I change things, click save, then sync, and it doesn't make the changes. I go back into the actiface settings and they're back on what they were before.

    I did experiment with syncing with my phone, but it drained the battery too much, so I don't want to do that anymore. But maybe because I synced with the phone, now it won't change the settings using the desktop app?

    Also, I no longer have "ZZZ" for the inactivity notifier - it's a tiny line above the steps. I liked the Z's better....

    NOTE - I CAN update the watch face properly using my phone app, luckily. But I can't do it on the PC software using the cord.

    Hi, are you sure you have the latest Garmin Express? There was a bug in GE causing exactly what you described, but it should be fixed now.
  • over 9 years ago
    I've noticed over the past few days that the percentage for step target is only being shown as multiples of 100% (so 100%, 200%, 300%) where in the past it would tell you that it was 135% etc. Just installing an Actiface update (3.2.2) now that may or may not fix it... but issue definitely present in 3.2.1

    Suggestion

    Thanks for the nice watch face!
    After 10 seconds the sunrise/sunset overrides the second field as intended.
    But when disabling the sunrise/sunset field after 10 seconds the seconds field disappears on my 920XT.
    It would be nice if the seconds field will be always visible when sunrise/sunset is disabled.

    It would be nice to add the Maximums/Totals/Averange from the last 7 days in “Graph description”.

    Thanks,
    Willem

    You do know that the display of seconds requires the watchface to not enter "low power" mode so will sap the battery right?

    From what I recall - update every second of a connectIQ face is not supported by the connectIQ API that all such faces are built on and even if it was possible, there would be complaints that the battery life was being badly affected...

    Thanks for the feedback.
    I didn't know that.
