!!! 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.

Great watch face thank you!

Two question, how many minutes of inactivity does each red dot represent? I know when all 5 are red means 2hrs+, does it just get divided straight like 24min each?
Also how many steps needed to clear the move bar? thanks

Thank you. To your questions: first dot is shown after hour of inactivity and then one dot each 15 minutes Up to 2 hours. I'm not sure how many exactly steps you have to walk to remove inactivity levels because it's handled by the watch firmware, but I thing it's about 3-4 minutes of walking.

Thank you. I actually noticed that I had some prior issues. My distances were not being recorded, but my steps were. I suspect it was a result of some funky watchface I was having issues with on older firmwares. I just reset the watch and reinstalled a few things. The graph looks "correct" at least as far as I can tell. As of now, there is only one table, I suspect it will generate a new one at midnight? I will let it run for a few days and report back.

Ok, thank you for information.
First day or two is graph pretty simple with one straight line, but during next days you will have more columns up to 7 days on 920xt and 8 days on fenix3.

Can you add AM and or PM to the watch screen?

Thank you for feedback. I'll try to find solution for it, but I'm affraid of too busy screen.

Thanks for the info!

One issue I have noticed with the watch face is that during activity when I choose to show the watch mode(hold "Down" button), the watch face is defaulted back to the factory default, not the ActiFace. Not sure if it's an oversight or Connect IQ limitation.

It shows only default watchface during activity and I understand why. Default watchface is programmed in the firmware and is not running inside Connect IQ container and from that reason it doesn't need too much memory and processor time as CIQ stack. The activity recording itself makes a high processor workload.

I see, so I guess it's out of your control at the moment.

You are right.

Excellent watch face. This is now my permanent watch on my fenix 3. Great design. I would love it more if we could change the color scheme. Thanks a lot guys. :)

Some of the next Connect IQ version will support parametrization of watchfaces via GC mobile app, so I'll implement color customization. For now there is red or blue version.

I just had my first crash this morning trying to get to Settings from the watchface. Not sure if it's caused by the watch face or not, but I had nothing else running. Is there log file somewhere I can check and perhaps troubleshoot it?
