So I am wondering what's the sense behind showing the seconds for a short period of time? Is there any use case I miss?

When you raise your hand to look at the time, the seconds should become active by the gesture action - for some people it's important to know that it's 09:05:03 compared to 09:05:57 - they like that feature. If you don't care about the seconds... ignore them :)

Ha, I first didn't realize that the seconds are shown by moving the hand wrist. Knowing this, the feature becomes more handy. Thanks for sharing.

Edit: The new activity bar is also realized nicely. To sum it up: This is the best watchface I have ever seen in the CIQ app store. Thanks for sharing this piece of software.

Eidt2: The Forerunner 920XT has a lot of empty space above the clock in the top bar. Is it possible to bring back the badges or is this something you have discontinued completely?

Exclude Daily Steps in Activity Graph

Hi,

Not sure if this has been asked before, but what if I only want to see recorded activities on the graph? I.e. I don't want the graph to include daily steps that are not part of any of my runs. Is this possible?

Same thing for the totals as well, could the totals just include my running totals?

Thanks!

Best Watch Face

Thank you for creating the best watch face out there. I love all the information you display although sometimes it's hard for me to read. I am sure it's due to the size of the watch face and all the info displayed. The one item that important to me and is really difficult for me to see/read is the inactivity bar. I liked it better when it was outside of the step count circle. Inside the circle the line is too thin and difficult to see. If there was an option for inactivity bar placement that would be great.

Thank you again for your time and effort in creating this watch face.

After updating my 920xt to firmware 6.2 the ActiFace will no longer load. I tried changing settings and saving in Garmin connect and also tried removing it and installing it again. It only show the default Garmin clock face when you try to select ActiFace.

Anything else I should try?

How do you tell what files belong to actiface? Is there a specific number to look for?

Petr.Koula over 9 years ago

That's not easy because each installation generates new random filename. You can find it for example by date of last change. It should have today's date if you installed or updated Actiface today. Very important is to remove also its data and settings files.

Good but please improve one thing

It's very good. But one flaw: This app stopped displaying sunrise/sunset time once GPS is turned off. I always turn off my GPS for battery saving. Can you make it remember the last position ( like what the Big Weather app does) to display sunrise/sunset time? I'm using Vivoactive. Thanks.

Petr.Koula over 9 years ago

I don't understand. GPS is always automatically turning off when you stop and save the activity, you don't need to turn it off manually somewhere. My Vivoactive has sunset/sunrise shown all time.
