This data field shows a 5s smoothed pace, with the background color changing depending on how much the pace is above or below a defined treshold. Since color is a lot easier to notice than a small change in a number, the idea is that a quick glance at the watch should be enough to tell you if you are outside your defined zone.
Pace is shown in min/km or min/miles, depending on user settings. This version has hard coded threshold values, so in it's current form it's probably not very useful (unless your threshold pace is similar to mine).
When user configuration becomes possible, I will release an updated version where the user can specify the threshold values.
In this version the threshold values are:
- Normal (white): 4:50 - 5:10 min/km
- Warning (yellow): 4:40-4:50 and 5:10-5:20 min/km
- Alarm (red): Faster than 4:40 or slower than 5:20 min/km
The data field should automatically adjust to any layout chosen, but the field dimensions in the simulator and on the watch aren't identical, so some small layout errors may be present.
Feedback on the concept is very welcome!
if there is any interest, I plan on creating additional versions of the data field with heart rate, speed and power.
Version 0.7 - March 31, 2015:
- Changed smoothing to 5s
- Changing text color when below threshold
Version 0.5 - March 30, 2015:
