This just shows the last week's history from the activity tracker. There are other widgets like it, but none for the Fenix 3 so I wrote this.

Changelog

1.1.3 - Remove workaround since it's now fixed in ConnectIQ
1.1.2 - Add workaround for ConnectIQ timezone bug
1.1.1 - Fix accidental upload of debug version :-)
1.1 - Visual tweaks
1.0 - Initial version
  • Nice widget although a strange thing is happening following installation. Connect IQ shows it as installed however on the watch widget settings it listed as 'VIRB' and I can show and hide the widget through its settings. There is also another 'VIRB' in the widget settings list, which is currently set as hidden and is for the genuine VIRB control. I installed/uninstalled it a couple of times and its still identified as VIRB
  • Like it but has an issue

    I really like this. Great work! However I have noticed that it missing yesterday's history the most recent day is 2 days ago. I wonder if this it the same problem the calendar widget had where it had the days wrong? Perhaps TimeZone Related? I am in EST.

    Thanks and great work!

    Hmm. I'm only taking the time from the activity history and formatting it with a standard function - which IMHO *should* work, but if Garmin have been particularly daft might not.

    So does anyone know how to manually set the timezone on an F3 so I can replicate this? Menu -> Settings -> System -> Time looks like it should have it, but it doesn't.

    I have pushed a new version that hopefully might fix this. Can you install 1.1.2 and let me know if it works for you?
  • This is now fixed in version 1.1.2.

    Thanks!
  • Just loaded this so I should have the latest 1.1.2 and it is exactly what I was looking for. Had another app which is similar on my 920XT but that is not available for the Fenix.

    But, this version does not show me today. I am in the UK and it is 4th May 16:12 but what I see is M 27 to S 3, so where is today? Am I supposed to see today (as the 920XT app would) or does this only show complete days? I would have hoped that I could use this to see the current total for the current day as it increases throughout the day. On a Monday, e.g. today, I'd like to see it show T 28 through to M 4 so each day the previous days would scroll up vertically.

    Other than that, looks great. Nicer than the other 920XT version :-)
  • Hi, nice app.

    Can I ask for a request? Would it be possible to create a widget where the recent activity history (ex. 43km bike ride, 12km run, ...) is shown in a similar way?

    Thanks!
  • If not mistKen, those activities are not exposed by the API. Only the step counters

    Hi, I've installed this widget on my fenix3. It does not seem to be working for me. When I start the widget on my Fenix 3 it only shows data for F 1. Which I'm guessing is Friday the 1st. I've installed it and uninstalled it a few times but it only continues to show the same info. Any ideas would be great.
  • Thanks for the app and thanks for sharing the sourcecode - In order to get started with some development myself then I tried to import your code into Eclipse Luna but failed to do so.

    My setup is a Mac, with Eclipse Luna installed and I tried to download/import by saying File, Import, Project from Git and the link but that did not work, nor did the download to a local folder and then an Import.

    Could you share your secret on how you did your setup og and project.

    Thanks!
