I wanted a quick way to check my heart rate without starting an activity, so here it is. I also wanted to see how close I could get it to having it look "native" (at least on the fenix 3, I don't think the other watches have chart widgets like this natively).

Changelog:

1.3.2 - Fix stupid bug in range display
1.3.1 - Longer periods, notify on HRM connect
1.3 - Configurable period and colour, autoscale y axis, port to app
1.2 - Persist data across sessions, compatibility with square watches, visual tweaks
1.1 - Chart that looks like Garmin's
1.0 - Initial version, just numbers, never released

White background should be entirely possible!

Just to warn you though, I won't have time to work on this until next week.

Really cool widget and very useful! Looks perfect on the Fenix3. I haven't tried it on my 920xt yet.

I only see a 'hatched' widget screen with a 'big cross' (and two lines running from each 'corner' of the screen forming an X).

Using Fenix3.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Which firmware do you have? The out of the box firmware doesn't support Connect IQ widgets at all... I'd be surprised if that was what it showed instead though.

Upgraded to new firmware, all working :) ...will play with it now, thank you.

I just posted version 1.3. This adds a configurable time period for the chart, autoscaling the y axis, and configurable colour scheme. A port to an application for all you vivoactive users :-) is coming as soon as Garmin approves it.

And the app version is here: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/6761e7b5-db5d-47a2-baef-a3a42e3d7f94

Hi. Thank you for your work

I have and issue: after 2'30" more or less watch goes back to clock face.
Is it a configuration problem of my device or a widget limitation?

Thanks in advance

Fénix 3, V3.10

THANK YOU for answering request of turning the widget in to an app for vivoactive. Now it can indeed be used and it is BRILLIANT.
Two requests/suggestions if i may:
1-Is there a way you can extend the monitoring period beyond 60minutes (ie for overnight monitoring). I know it would be hard for the battery but could be v useful for people with heart conditions.
2- i would find useful if when i start the monitoring, a counter could show the elapsed time.
This is particularly useful for the long monitoring times so that you can immediately know for how long you have been monitored.

THANK YOU
