Hi, I've just download the red version for my 920xt. Should it pick and display the last 6 days with of activity? Or will it only start displaying new activities.

Hi,

do you have any records in Activity history (Menu>History>Steps)? If you were using your 920XT and didn't made some kind of reset, it should show last 6 day + today. Otherwise, if it was reset, you have to wait 2+ days to collect data.

My vivoactive with the Actiface keeps showing that I have muted sound alerts. However, is this a bug?

How do we mute and unmute sound alerts on the vivoactive??

Vivoactive have no sound. But have you updated it to the latest version? It should be fixed on vivo. If so, try to remove it via GC Mobile and then re-add it.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response. Does the screen only show steps then? I swam 5k Saturday and rode 170k on Sunday and this information isn't showing on they screen, but is showing in my history. . I don't use the counting steps function.

Thanks

Aha, that's the problem. Watchfaces doesn't have access to the activities directly. It can only access history from the activity tracker, which counts total distance and calories for each day (from activities and common daily movement). So if you have activity tracking function turned off, it doesn't have any data available. Sorry, but it's Garmin's Connect IQ platform restriction. If you want to see your history in the graph, you have to turn it on and wait more than 2 days for some data.

Thanks again for the quick response.

So if I turn activity tracker on, which counts my steps, then all future runs, swims and rides will also be calculated in the watch display?

Petr.Koula over 10 years ago

Yes, activity tracker history saves whole day history, which consists of steps, total distance and calories. For example, if you run 10k, ride 30k and walk another 3km during rest of the day, it'll save cca 33km as distance for the day into history. And that's value will be in the graph. Calories will be computed in the same way. Turn it on and wait for 2 days and you will see the progress in the graph.

Thanks for clarifying, I'll turn it on and give it go!

Thanks again.

Hi ! I agree with GeorgeMakrypoulias, the white font color is difficult to read on the light gray background when the goal is reached. Anyway , thank you for this great Watchface on Fenix 3 :-)

Hi, it's hard to choose the right choice :) I don't want to add too many colorful components on the screen because it decrease readibility and looks as cheap design. On the other side, that gray background is the darkest available.. And what about make the font for step counter bigger like that?

I can send you a PRG file for a real test..

Thank u for ur great and wonderful work. Do u think the Vmax can be added .
Thank u

thanks KOULIK excellent work my best Watch Faces

the way if you can do one "Data Fields" that dispay Vmax in knots, it would be wonderful !
I'll buy you even if it was for sale

Thank you.

Sorry about Vmax, but I don't plan add something like that to the watch face (data for watchfaces are very restricted) or make some kind of data field. I'm pure runner, so I don't know how to implement it, test it, use it, anything :)

Great idea to have steps number bigger on fenix 3. But last week I ran the marathon of paris my final steps count was 57000 so if the number is bigger it can fit 5 numbers count?
