AirPressure Widget
Simple widget displaying the current atmospheric pressure as well as the barometric pressure (air pressure at sea level) and altitude. The Garmin barometer widget only displays the barometric pressure and there is currently no way to display the "raw" (unadjusted) atmospheric pressure on the Fenix 3 except by adding it as a datafield in an activity. This widget corrects this and displays the atmospheric pressure without having to start an activity.
The widget is optimized for the Fenix 3. For a similar widget optimized for square watches (e.g. Epix, VivoFit etc.) please check out my AtmosphericPressure widget (https://apps.garmin.com/en-GB/apps/1183288c-4156-4dc2-83e4-dd555b9a22b1).
**NOTE** I would have prefered to add a chart of pressure changes over the past 48 hours to the widget (useful for weather predictions) but for the time being Connect IQ API limitations prevent me from doing this (in order to update the chart at a fixed interval - say every 15 mins - I would need to be able to poll the current air pressure even when the widget is not active, something not currently possible with Connect IQ widgets).
***CHANGE HISTORY***
Changes made from version 1.0 to version 1.1:
- added ability to display atmospheric pressure in either mmHg, inHg, milibars or hectopascals (press MENU while inside the widget to change measurement unit)
- altitude is now displayed in either meters or feet depending on user settings
