!!! 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 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 calories average (counted from the beginning of the week without today)
* sunrise/sunset times
* climbed floors
* climbed meters/feet
* descended meters/feet

Yes, the white line shows your daily distance history, including activities. So you can have the peak in the day in which you walk only 1000 steps, if you got a ride as well. The distance is provided by device, it's not calculated in ActiFace. You can check these values in Menu > History > Steps. There are lot of possibilities what to show in the graph but there is still no configuration possibility and I had to make compromise. I chose a distance because it better describe your activity than just steps, especially if you are cycling.. Of course, it has some disadvantages, for example if you combine running and cycling. It might be the best to show third line - steps, but it could be really overcrowded.

- today's distance
- today's calories

Please, share your screenshots if you see any graphic errors.
Watchface was optimalized for low power consumption.

Changes:

v 1.1
- added battery percentage
- added distance graph

v 1.1.1
- fixed wrong graph direction

v 1.1.2
- fixed graph grid positioning
- battery is now green between 55% and 100% (was 70% and more)
- support for high power/low power mode (only for FW 3.03 and newer)
- added runner icon into goal circle for 3 seconds if you look at the watch during longer inactivity (FW 3.03 and newer)

v 1.2
- added bluetooth icon

v 1.2.2

- small icon improvements

v 1.4
- design improvements and fixes for Vivoactive
- bolder graph line

v 1.4.1
- fixed today stats positioning
- added Fenix 3 support beta (fw 3.10)

v 1.5.2
- added inactivity indicators
- small UI changes and corrections

v 1.6
- improved circle graph
- optimalizations
- added battery percentage for Fenix3
- small design corrections

v 1.6.1
- Fenix 3 only: battery percentage is shown only if you look at the screen (text over battery was hard to read on F3)
- Fenix 3 only: graph design tweaks
- small optimalizations

v 1.6.2
- removes grey ends of the graph on Fenix3 (it collidated with inactivity indicator)

v 1.6.3
- battery rendering optimalization
- circle graph rendering optimalization (on square screens)
- decreased memory requirements by using shared components for square and circle version
- fixed battery percentage was too close to BT icon when charged to 100% (on Fenix3)
- fixed 'mute' icon was always shown on Vivoactive

v 1.7
- redesigned graph
- improved step counter on Fenix3 (for better readibility)
- changed inactivity indicator in rectangle screen version
- small design tweaks
- graph data are computed each 5 minutes for better energy efficiency

v 1.7.1

I think it will great if you could change the minutes in red or orange. I would be really appreciate for doing this. Btw you developer did an awesome job on this. I hope to see more watch faces similar to this. Thanks again.

swimbikerun4tria over 9 years ago

and I like houres + minutes in white.
The next One prefer green.
In my opinion, the developer should not implement ANY individual colors

true...
perfect the way it is

I don't know if somebody else already requested it, but i have a small request.

Currently you see a line in the graph with the distance you made in your previously 7 days. Is it possible to change that to time spend on a workout. Because the difference between swim distance and bike distance are huge, and if you show time it will be more equal.

Petr.Koula over 9 years ago

You're definitely right, time spent in activities is a good indicator. But there are two things.. 1) Connect IQ doesn't provide this information to the watchfaces.. 2) to the distance are also counted other steps, not just from sport activities, so if you have a busy day with lot of steps, it's the activity as well

Badges

I'm thinking about some kind of badges for ActiFace. I found a space on the screen for them (same plase as zzzzz if you don't have any inactivity level on 920XT, or above today's distance/calories on F3). Up to three badges.

An example: you've reached 4 goals in last 5 days including today.. or you've reached 7 goals in last 8 days including today.. or you've doubled your today goal.. or you've got a week maximum distance today..

Can it be interesting for you, or it would make the screen overcrowded? There is also an option to do that only for square version, because there'll still be enough space for potential new icons in the upper line. The icon area on Fenix3 is very limited by circle display.

Thanks for your feedback..

ok, hopefully this isnt too crazy big.

so i have a qustion.. the little arrows at the bottom, what are they? in many of your images there are significantly more vertical lines and not all of them have the triangles at the bottom. are those my activities? also, mine are white, others ive seen are green? just curious. this is a really kickass watch face and thank you for making it. its a little busy but super functional. A+

i have to laugh that i have 4 z's here after 12,000 steps today. im going to develop a complex! :p

Petr.Koula over 9 years ago

Hi and thanks,

these white triangles just indicates days when you reached your goal. They were originally green, now they are white because of visibility.

BikeTF over 9 years ago

Very good

Fenix 3, firmware 3.60. I noticed that there is no procent for battery (at least not in Fenix 3).

Not sure how to read the graphs. There are 4 vertical grids and on the third there is a small white triangle at the bottom. Each vertical grid marks 2 days? The white triangle marks thr maximum?

Edit: actually the graph doesn't seem to work. It shows the same thing always.

Why two faces instead of one with color option? When I install one it replaces the other one. So is not easy to change.
