!!! 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.

Hopefully unrelated to this watch face. However I fully charged my Fenix3 last night. Installed actiface and awoke this morning to find battery on 30%. Weird as I have never seen battery drain like this before. Anyhow just reporting my experience here, in case anyone else sees similar behaviour with it installed.

I hope the ActiFace doesn't cause any battery drains, i did a lot of optimalizations and tests before I released it. Of course I will pay attention about that and doublecheck it. Known issue on F3 and 920xt is high battery draining if you leave your phone far away from watches and BT is all night trying to connect with. It can cut more than 40% during one night. Is it possible that it's your case? Let me know if your battery issue is still on, thanks.

Ticka,

I have been having the same issue, could be the latest firmware, but not sure, I disabled various non essential things during a run like GLOSNAS and such and I still after a forty minute run fulling charge lost 30% of the original charge.

Like you I first noticed an oddity waking up with the watch fully discharged knowing it was still at 55% before sleeping.

I removed the watch face went to normal and all seemed OK. Thinking it was just an anomaly and because I particularly like this watch face and the history component in particular reactivated it again and the same level of drain occurred.

So yup any advice / ideas or whatever would be appreciated. But let me lastly say I think this particular developer is doing an amazing job and my issues are no slight 'whatsoever' a fix will surely happen. 'Keep up the amazing work'!!

Thank you for your support. Be sure I'll check it on Fenix.

Btw. Here is the thread related to this issue. https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?230540-Battery-Life

Hi,

Blue is Kilocalories for past 6 days (or 7 days on fenix) plus today. White is distances for the same interval. Older values are on left, today on the right side of the graph. You can see maximums from that week above the graph, it helps you to imagine scale of the graph.

Excellent watch face the best until now. But I prefer the total kms and calories in the last 6 days instead the max. The seconds will be great to add . Thank u

i prefer max as it is

It's necessary to show max values. It gives you information about graph scale. Actually, it's only graph description, label for top vertical grid line. Without it you don't know anything about each graph value.

I don't plan to add seconds. Watch faces are updating once per minute or once per second (for 6 seconds) if you look at it. So it doesn't make sense to add seconds with this Connect IQ behavior. Moreover it could be too busy with another information field on screen.

Superb face just not sure about how to read the inactivity circles and what they mean and if there are 5 red how to get back to no red etc. Thanks

Have you read #62?

Petr.Koula over 10 years ago

Thanks, I also added inactivity indicator description to the App Info. Btw. it has the same behavior as inactivity line on default watch face.
