Heart Rate Threshold
This data field shows the heart rate as percent of maximum. The background color is changing depending on how much the heart rate is above a defined treshold.
To aid when doing intervals, when the heart rate has been above the defined threshold, and drops back below another defined threshold, the background color turns green to show you are recovered and ready for the next interval. 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 inside or outside your defined zones.
This version has hard coded threshold values, so in it's current form it's probably not very useful (unless your heart rate threshold values are similar to mine).
Hopefully it will be possible to read personal heart rate zones from the watch soon, and when that happens I will release an updated version using those values.
In this version the threshold values are:
- Normal (white): Heart rate below 155 bpm.
- Warning (yellow): Heart rate above 155 bpm.
- Alarm (red): Heart rate above 160 bpm.
- Recovery OK: Heart rate below 120 bpm after it has been in the yellow or red zone.
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!
