WatchApp: Activity Recorder




https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/be468042-047e-4181-ae6f-e82a3f50b04e

A simple application that allows users to record activities like the built-in apps, but with more choices of activity type and sub-type. Activities that are uploaded to Garmin Connect have the specified activity type, so you don't have to go back and edit them after the fact. Supports three user-selectable data fields on a single page; Timer, Lap Time, Heart Rate, Average Heart Rate, Calories, Time of Day, Distance, Pace, Avg, Pace, Speed, Avg, Speed, Cadence, Avg. Cadence, Elevation, Ascent, Descent, Laps, Temperature fields are available. Allows users to enable/disable sensors and GPS for each activity type/sub-type.

*Note*: You have to enable sensors and GPS in the app if you want to record the data that they provide. i.e., if you want to go on a trail run and record your track, you have to select the activity type Run/Trail Running, and then enable GPS on the options page. All sensors default to off for all activity types. You must enable them explicitly.

*Note*: The list of activity sub-types is limited due to a ConnectIQ bug that affects most devices. The most requested activity sub-type is Strength Training, and unfortunately that one is affected by this bug. I will update the app as fixes are deployed with device firmware updates.

If you have a problem or question, post it in the forums thread (https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?239790) so I can respond.

Revision History:

0.9.6
* Added auto-save prompt 3 seconds after recording is stopped, much like you'd experience with the built-in activity applications.
* Added support for additional data fields, reorganized the data field selection to match up with the 920xt apps.

0.9.5
* Initial Revision
* Supports 920XT w/ 3.20 firmware and VivoActive w/ 2.70 firmware. Please post if you have success with earlier firmware versions.

    This is the best app out Travis I use it for weight lifting, cross training and rowing amongst others. Unfortunately it seemed it got removed from my device when it came off the store but just wanted to say thanks for the hard work and looking forward to being able to use it again!

    i 2nd , 3rd that remark. made the mistake of upgrading the fw and had to remove it, now i got to wait for the re release. i miss this app........
  • Thanks and an offer of help

    Just wanted to say that this sounds like exactly what I am looking for. Thank you for doing this and I look forward to the re-release.

    I have a Fenix 3 and would be happy to be your tester if nobody else has stepped up to the plate.

    Also, I happen to do a bit of development and was just about to dive into the SDK to do basically this - If there is any way I can help please let me know.

    This app doesn't seem to be working for me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? When I try to launch it I just get a red square with a cross.


    Hi, I am not able to find the app at all - would this be available again?
  • Thanks for all the hard work you are putting into this.

    As you are refining it at the moment - any chance of adding "Rollerski" to it as an activity. I expect that it will be identical to Cross-country/Nordic skiing - but it would be nice for it to have its own label to help keep track of which one is being done.

    Rollerski is becoming an increasingly important way of keeping fit until the snow arrives - but also now in its own right.

    Can wait to get it back!

    This is the only app I use. The best app out there without a doubt. I enjoy seeing how many calories I burn along with my heart rate after my bootcamp workout. I had it on the active until it broke so I upgraded to the Fenix 3. I got it today and almost had a panic attack when I couldn't find the app. Can't wait for it to come back. Thanks for all the hard work yall puts into it.
