A watch face featuring:
  • a readable time font
  • sun events
  • active statistics (heart rate / steps / stairs)
  • YAHOO! weather & forecasts.
  • ....
Download: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/b...4-169e581df99c

  • While you are at it: one field I really miss, is 'active calories'. Could you add it to the list of choices?

    Hello everyone! Data Lover is fantastic! However, i cannot change the bar graph and include the temperature (Fenix 3HR). Any clue? Thanks!

    BTW it happens also with other watch faces
  • The temperature is only available in the chart on the right and is only available on the connect iq 2 devices (see the FAQ / Q4 on http://starttorun.info/data-lover )

    Thanks for the reply! I understand. Isn't weird that though I have a iq 1 devide (Fenix 3HR) and it is possible to show altitude and HR data but not temp and pressure?
  • The temperature that is now shown is being sourced from Yahoo weather not from internal sensors or tempe.

    adding pressure is on my to do list.
  • Just made a donation. Initiatives like these should be encouraged.

    Here are my suggestions/feature requests:

    1. For some reason the active minutes (on vivoactive 3) keeps showing zero. Is it the garmin own value or does it update after an activity? I had a couple of activities this week, but it still shows 0.
    2. What about a temperature dependent color for the number? For example from meteoblue the legend is quite intuitive.
    3. I would like to keep steps and goal when I select move bar. Can we just have the move bar on the bottom while still having the steps left and right?
    4. Must have WEEK number! :)

  • hey Joep,

    1. This value is coming straight from the Api without modifications from me. It's the active minutes of the current day, did you pick the total active minutes or eg the vigorous ones?
    1b. It's on my to do to also add active minutes of the week.
    2. not sure if the changing color will fit in the look&feel of the watch face, but I'll put it on my to do to consider the request.
    3. In my current development version you'll also have the ability to set the bottom chart to be the Move Circles so this might solve this issue for you (this functionality will be available in next release).
    4. Adding the week number is on my to do. The reason it's not in yet is because the week number is calculated in several ways around the world (some have the start of the week on sunday, others on monday. For some countries the first week has to have at least 4 days of the current year while for others it only needs 1. Not sure if I like adding 2 parameters to the settings to calculate just a single value, so I might hardcode the ISO 8601 standard (but Americans won't like that it doesn't follow united states calendar rules)... so I still need to reflect on how to best add this functionality...
  • Hi Peter,

    thanks for the great feedback.

    1. Didn't see it was for today. Looking forward to the weekly value
    2. I think it might help with the 'confusion' that the temperature can be seen as seconds. If it has a color corresponding to the temperature maybe it will feel a bit more intuitive (though you can change the clock colors also).
    4. What can we do about the world(read americans) not having logically standardized everything yet. I'll wait for the feature to come available.
  • Data Lover v4.0 release, changes (Some features are only availabe on select watches, due to either memory limits, connect iq version, ... ):
