&lt;p&gt;The problem was simple: I would start a coding-agent session, step away from the desk, and later realize it had been sitting on a permission prompt or had already finished. So I made the watch notify me instead .The app shows live session state, tool calls, file edits, bash commands, idle time, usage, and vibrates for things that need attention.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The most painful part was definitely the BLE side. I ran into stack crashes, reconnect weirdness, and some device-specific behavior. For example, my Venu 3S needed the discoverable flag in the BLE advertisement, while other watches did not seem to care.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the positive side, the Garmin SDK simulator was actually really useful for this kind of project. Being able to iterate on the UI and app behavior before testing on the real watch saved a lot of time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Very niche, but maybe interesting to other Connect IQ / BLE people.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="1685" data-end="1761"&gt;I made &lt;strong data-start="1692" data-end="1706"&gt;WristStack&lt;/strong&gt;, a small falling-block puzzle game for Garmin watches.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start="1685" data-end="1761"&gt;&lt;img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="https://forums.garmin.com/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/10/pastedimage1780291678586v3.jpeg" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start="1685" data-end="1761"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start="1763" data-end="1857"&gt;You can play it directly on the watch, submit your score, and compete on a global leaderboard:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start="1859" data-end="1903"&gt;&lt;a class="decorated-link" href="https://wriststack.wristtale.com/?period=all&amp;amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" data-start="1859" data-end="1903"&gt;https://wriststack.wristtale.com/?period=all&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start="1905" data-end="2101"&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s designed for quick wrist-sized sessions with simple controls and short gameplay loops. The leaderboard already has scores from different Garmin models, and I&amp;rsquo;d love to see more people try it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start="2103" data-end="2251"&gt;If you play, please share your device model and score. I&amp;rsquo;d also appreciate feedback on controls, readability, difficulty, and any bugs you run into.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start="2253" data-end="2260"&gt;Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have Garmin Egde 1030 Plus and 2 lights:&lt;br /&gt;front light Garmin VARIA UT 800, rear light Garmin VARIA RTL 515.&lt;br /&gt;The Smart Bike Lights worked perfectly during the ride for every mode S(Smart), N(Network) and M(Manually).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For Smart mode, I set Day Light for both VARIA UT800 and VARIA RTL515, this worked flawlessly for 3 years,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but last week, for the first time after 4 hours of ride, the front light VARIA UT 800(on Smart mode) &amp;nbsp;switched&amp;nbsp;OFF, the rear light VARIA RTL515&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;remained swicthed ON. See the attached picture from Edge.&lt;br /&gt;The same behaviour happened yesterday, during 3 hours of ride, evertything was OK, but after 4 hours, again the front light switched OFF.&lt;br /&gt;So I had to set the mode M(Manually) for UT800 to have light switched ON.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here below is the screenshot from my Garmin edge when the VARIA UT800 switched off suddenly:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="https://forums.garmin.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/10/Glance_2D00_to_2D00_Gif_2D00_Best_2D00_2022.gif" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The idea&amp;nbsp;for this app is simple:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;- Use only large fonts, so that all data are visible at a glance (hence the name of the app: Glance&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="https://forums.garmin.com/resized-image/__size/15x15/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/10/pastedimage1638113261573v3.gif" /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;- Put as much data on the screen as possible, without sacrificing font size above&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;- Make all data fields customizeable to your needs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;- Make colors customizeable as much as possible, so users can create their own design&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;The &amp;quot;Glance Watch Face&amp;quot; app is 100% FREE - no hidden restrictions, nagging, or expiration:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="postlink" href="https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/07ae0f49-7240-4475-a229-4507e8035fae" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/07ae ... 07e8035fae&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is also a mostly free app - BIG EASY:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/86ec352b-da01-4806-8972-770c6d32a5e8"&gt;apps.garmin.com/.../86ec352b-da01-4806-8972-770c6d32a5e8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There&amp;nbsp;are also two paid versions of this app - &lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;Glance Pro&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/ac4be3ce-f0f3-4c49-be01-5fa52614ab2b"&gt;https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/ac4be3ce-f0f3-4c49-be01-5fa52614ab2b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;Glance Dual Screen&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/5c0fe72b-f045-4366-a878-d3e67c600868"&gt;https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/5c0fe72b-f045-4366-a878-d3e67c600868&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Paid versions are&amp;nbsp;identical to the free version (so no worries, FREE doesn&amp;#39;t mean bad!),&amp;nbsp;but have a lot of extra features features:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open Weather Map support&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Setting for TIME font weight&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;New way to use shared color themes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Support for many&amp;nbsp;new metrics (like Body Battery, Stress Level, and lots more)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Extra progress bars and Graphs (in Dual Screen only)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Two separate data screens&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;(in Dual Screen only)&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A lot more - see apps description for the full list&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You have an opportunity (and a small incentive) to support the development&amp;nbsp;[emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unique feature of the Glance apps - you can save your own Color Themes and quicly switch between them righ on the watch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;NEW:&lt;/span&gt; Now you can SHARE your Color Theme! You can also quickly apply Color Themes shared with you. Here is a full description of how it all works:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.mobiledriveway.com/glance.html#color"&gt;https://www.mobiledriveway.com/glance.html#color&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is the current Color Themes Gallery:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.mobiledriveway.com/glance_gallery.html"&gt;https://www.mobiledriveway.com/glance_gallery.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Color themes are compatible between &amp;quot;Glance&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Glance Pro&amp;quot; (except for &amp;quot;inactive status icons color&amp;quot;, which became obsolete in &amp;quot;Pro&amp;quot;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I&amp;#39;d love to see all color combinations you came up with. Please post your themes in the Reviews and I&amp;#39;ll add them to the gallery!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Smart Bike Lights features:&lt;br /&gt; - Automatic light control (Smart mode) based on the configured filters (sunset, sunlight, speed, ...)&lt;br /&gt; - Manual light control (only for Edge devices with a touch screen or devices with CIQ 3.2 and more than 32KB memory)&lt;br /&gt; - Records lights modes that are displayed in Garmin Connect&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Bike Lights Control features:&lt;br /&gt; - Manual light control (available to all devices)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Both applications can be installed on the same device, which can be useful for low end devices (e.g. Edge 520) where &amp;quot;Bike Lights Control&amp;quot; can be used to change light modes&amp;nbsp;manually and &amp;quot;Smart Bike Lights&amp;quot; for automatic light control.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Currently registered ANT+ lights:&lt;br /&gt;- Bontrager Ion Pro RT&lt;br /&gt;- Bontrager Ion 200 RT&lt;br /&gt;- Bontrager Flare RT&lt;br /&gt;- Garmin Varia RTL500&lt;br /&gt;- Garmin Varia RTL510&lt;br /&gt;- Garmin Varia RTL515&lt;br /&gt;- Garmin Varia HL500&lt;br /&gt;- Garmin Varia UT800&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in case your ANT+ light is not on the list you can help by doing the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Install &lt;a href="https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/fa3c2332-76e3-4ba1-8528-32a0fd617ab1"&gt;Bike Lights Control&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Pair your bike light with your Garmin device&lt;br /&gt;3. Open the widget:&lt;br /&gt; - Edge with a touch screen: post which numbers are displayed on the buttons and what mode each button represents when pressed&lt;br /&gt; - Other devices: Select the &amp;quot;Light modes&amp;quot; menu and post which numbers are displayed in the menu and what mode each menu item represents when selected&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example for Bontrager Ion Pro RT:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are some features that could be possible to add in the future, but would require Garmin to add them to the CIQ api. In case you are interested in any of the below features, consider upvoting their feature request thread:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;About Ski Pin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the beginning of the 2026, I released a new data field for winter sports called Ski Pin. Ski Pin shows you the name of the ski run you&amp;#39;re on, the run difficulty, and which lift is nearby. The CIQ app itself is straightforward, it gets your GPS coordinate and queries a custom web&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;backend&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;that checks the coordinate against&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://openskimap.org/"&gt;OpenSkiMap&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;data. Since there&amp;#39;s a monthly cost to run the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;backend, I decided it&amp;#39;d make sense to monetize the data field to try to cover my costs. And I felt that the Ski Pin concept was unique enough in the CIQ ecosystem that passionate skiers may be willing to pay for the app.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wanted to share my experience with monetization because I think it&amp;#39;s valuable for other developers to see real numbers and understand if it&amp;#39;s actually viable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;Monetization Math&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those who haven&amp;#39;t looked into &lt;a href="https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/monetization/"&gt;first-party monetization&lt;/a&gt;, there&amp;#39;s a $100 annual fee and then a 15% service fee on all sales. At the beginning of the project, I didn&amp;#39;t have a great understanding of how much the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;backend&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;would cost to run. After doing some research I estimated that with modest adoption, it wouldn&amp;#39;t be more than ~$20 a month. So my worst case annual cost would be around $100+$20*12months = $340/yr.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I really struggled with determining the price point for Ski Pin. I didn&amp;#39;t want the price to be a significant barrier of entry, but I was eager to recoup my costs. To make $340, I would need to sell $400 in product to cover the 15% service fee. Since skiing is a seasonal sport, I figured a vast majority of my sales would occur in the first 4 months of the year, so I&amp;#39;d need to make ~$100/month. My goal was to make one sale a day on average. So monthly, $100/30 sales puts the price point at $3.33. I rounded that up to $4 to give some breathing room in case I didn&amp;#39;t hit my target.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;max-height:5000px;max-width:500px;" alt=" " src="https://forums.garmin.com/resized-image/__size/1000x10000/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/10/skipin_5F00_field.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left:30px;text-align:center;"&gt;Ski Pin in the field&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;First Month Results&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looking back on January, two things worked in my favor. First, my&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;backend&amp;nbsp;cost estimate was high. My real cost was $8.46, significantly less than my $20 estimate. Second, I made a lot more sales than I expected! I sold 68 copies in January.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below is a graph I&amp;#39;ll be updating monthly with sales data. If I project out my monthly costs for the rest of the year with no additional sales, it looks like I&amp;#39;ll still break even. That was my primary goal with this project.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;max-height:800px;max-width:800px;" alt=" " src="https://forums.garmin.com/resized-image/__size/1600x1600/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/10/skipin_5F00_sales.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:center;"&gt;January Sales Analysis&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;Lessons Learned&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The biggest thing I learned is don&amp;#39;t be afraid to price your app at what it&amp;#39;s worth. I was genuinely worried that no one would be willing to spend more than $2 on a data field, and I almost priced Ski Pin lower because of that concern. But it turns out that if you&amp;#39;re solving a real problem for a passionate audience,&amp;nbsp;they may be willing&amp;nbsp;to pay for it. Seasonal apps can absolutely work if you price appropriately for the condensed sales window, just make sure you&amp;#39;re not leaving money on the table by undervaluing your work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;What do you think?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;d love to hear from other developers who&amp;#39;ve monetized their apps, how did you approach pricing? Has it been worth it? And for those considering monetization, feel free to ask any questions about the process.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: I Monetized My Ski App, Here's What Happened</title><link>https://forums.garmin.com/thread/2036360?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Jun 2026 08:46:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:24c14ff4-af39-42e6-9130-33a134818eaa</guid><dc:creator>NoOne</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://forums.garmin.com/thread/2036360?ContentTypeID=1</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/showcase/430838/i-monetized-my-ski-app-here-s-what-happened/rss?ContentTypeId=0</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;very nice of you to keep us updated.

The thing that makes it different from a generic Walk or Hike profile, or from Garmin&amp;rsquo;s own Rucking activity, is the calorie math: it accounts for the pack on your back, not just your heart rate. I first posted it here for the Forerunner 965. It now runs on 86 watches, so this thread covers the current v2.4.3 state. Sessions save as a Rucking activity in Garmin Connect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(The original Forerunner 965 launch thread is &lt;a href="https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/showcase/434156/rucktrack-dedicated-rucking-app-for-forerunner-965-just-launched"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, for reference.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Why RuckTrack&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The core of it is the calorie math. Generic Walk and Hike profiles ignore pack weight. Garmin&amp;rsquo;s own Rucking activity, on the few watches that ship it (tactix 8, fēnix 8, FR 970, select Instinct), captures pack weight as a number but still estimates calories from heart rate. It logs what you carried, not the terrain you crossed or the grade you climbed. RuckTrack runs the Pandolf load-carriage equation, the model the US Army validated for marching under load, so pack weight, speed, terrain, and grade all move the number. It writes FIT subsport 124, which means the session classifies as Rucking in Garmin Connect on every supported watch, not just those few.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It also gets out of your way. Pick your load and start, no GPS lock required. When the signal drops, under heavy tree cover or during a warmup, the calorie math falls back to a blended heart-rate estimate, so the number stays complete instead of stalling or zeroing out. Step onto a treadmill, switch to indoor mode, and the same load-aware math runs off your incline and belt speed. You set your pack once and ruck. The app sorts out signal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The rest is the watch experience. Six live screens, high-contrast and easy to read at a glance. A seven-page post-activity summary that ends on a Lifetime Totals reward page. A Calorie Details breakdown of every input that fed the math, one button away. A History view of your last 10 sessions, and a glance widget that shows your last ruck without opening the app.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A few details that matter for accuracy:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Santee (2001) downhill correction.&lt;/strong&gt; On negative grades the burn rate is floored at 1.5 &amp;times; body weight, which prevents the underestimation the base equation is known for on descents.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Speed cap at 2.5 m/s.&lt;/strong&gt; The model is validated for walking, so faster values are clamped before the calculation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;60-second rolling grade buffer&lt;/strong&gt; with a 30 m minimum-distance guard, so brief altitude spikes don&amp;rsquo;t pollute the burn rate.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whether you&amp;rsquo;re carrying 35 lb on a GORUCK-style ruck, a full pack on a multi-day trip, or a 10-lb vest on neighborhood walks, the math works the same way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" alt=" " src="https://forums.garmin.com/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/10/live_5F00_calories.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Treadmill mode&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two indoor modes, picked at the start:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Auto.&lt;/strong&gt; Pack weight only. The watch scales its native heart-rate calorie estimate by the load you&amp;rsquo;re carrying. Zero ongoing input, which suits instructor-led classes and varied-incline sessions where one fixed incline number wouldn&amp;rsquo;t be honest.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manual.&lt;/strong&gt; Pack weight, incline, and belt speed. The full load-carriage calculation with your set speed and grade, so you get the same load-aware accuracy indoors that you get outside.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sessions record as Indoor Walk in Garmin Connect with the same load-aware Connect IQ calorie fields as outdoor rucks. Change incline, belt speed, or pack weight mid-session without pausing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Six live screens&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Distance, time, and calories with an HR zone arc &amp;middot; pace, elevation, and vertical speed &amp;middot; calories with average burn rate and pack-bonus percentage &amp;middot; lap tracking with auto-laps every mile or kilometer &amp;middot; HR zones with a circular gauge and pulsing heart &amp;middot; clock and battery. Treadmill mode drops the pace and elevation screen, since those outdoor-only metrics don&amp;rsquo;t apply.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Post-activity summary&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" alt=" " src="https://forums.garmin.com/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/10/summary_5F00_overview.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seven pages: Overview (distance, time, average pace, pack weight), Calories (total burn, average burn rate, pack-bonus footer), Ruck Volume (pack weight &amp;times; distance, the load-moved tonnage), Elevation chart, HR zone breakdown, Lifetime Totals (ruck count, distance, time, and calories, all climbing visibly each save), and a Stats Guide that points you to where the pack-aware data lives in Garmin Connect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everything writes to Garmin Connect. Session-level FIT fields under &amp;ldquo;Connect IQ&amp;rdquo; on the stats tab cover pack weight, ruck calories, calories without pack, pack bonus, burn rate, terrain factor, treadmill mode, and incline. Per-second FIT record fields chart grade and metabolic rate on the activity detail page, alongside Connect&amp;rsquo;s native pace, HR, and elevation graphs. The activity itself classifies as Rucking and carries the pack weight in its name. No manual entry anywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Recent updates (v1.5 &amp;rarr; v2.4)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wider device support (v2.4).&lt;/strong&gt; Now on 86 watches, including the fēnix 7 family, fēnix 8 Solar, Enduro 3, FR 955/255, the rectangular Venu X1 and Venu Sq 2, and the monochrome Instinct line. The photo-grade start screen degrades gracefully on the non-AMOLED displays.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Calmer start screen and a custom number font (v2.4).&lt;/strong&gt; A redesigned home screen and a condensed typeface tuned for each display, across the live and summary pages.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ruck Volume page (v2.3).&lt;/strong&gt; A post-save page that multiplies pack weight by distance for a strength-training-style tonnage number, with lifetime tonnage on the Totals page. Snow terrain and a kcal/kJ toggle landed here too.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About screen (v2.2).&lt;/strong&gt; Version and support details under Settings.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lifetime Totals reward page (v2.1).&lt;/strong&gt; The post-save summary ends on a Totals page showing lifetime ruck count, distance, time, and calories, climbing visibly each save.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Per-second charts in Garmin Connect (v2.0.7).&lt;/strong&gt; FIT record fields write grade and metabolic rate each second, so the activity detail page renders them as time-series charts next to Connect&amp;rsquo;s native graphs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Auto-named sessions and activity tones (v2.0.6).&lt;/strong&gt; Sessions auto-name with pack weight in the Connect activity list (&amp;ldquo;Ruck 35 lb&amp;rdquo;), so you can read the load without opening each one. Start, pause, save, and discard each play a short tone.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rucking classification (v2.0.3).&lt;/strong&gt; FIT subsport 124, fleet-wide via Connect&amp;rsquo;s server-side classification.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Treadmill mode (v2.0).&lt;/strong&gt; Auto and Manual, described above.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Calorie Details and Stats Guide (v1.9).&lt;/strong&gt; A scrolling breakdown of total burn, the without-pack counterfactual, the pack bonus in kcal and percent, your watch&amp;rsquo;s native estimate, and the inputs behind them. Plus a summary page that shows first-timers where the pack-aware stats live in Connect.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Devices&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Forerunner 70/165/170/255/265/570/955/965/970, fēnix 8 &amp;amp; fēnix E, fēnix 8 Solar, fēnix 7 family, Enduro 3, Instinct 3 (AMOLED &amp;amp; Solar) &amp;amp; Instinct E, Venu 2/3/4, Venu X1, Venu Sq 2, v&amp;iacute;voactive 5/6, epix Pro, MARQ Gen 2, D2 Mach 1 &amp;amp; Air X15, Descent MK3 &amp;amp; G2, Approach S50/S70, tactix 7/8, quatix. 86 watches total.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Still on the roadmap&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Average uphill and downhill speed as Connect fields.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A Training Load score: one number per session reflecting load, terrain, time, grade, and HR drift, to track session over session.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Built this for my own use and figured I&amp;#39;d share it. It&amp;#39;s a dual-timezone face where each side independently tracks the time of day! so if it&amp;#39;s night in GMT and daytime in your local timezone, each half sh&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ows a different background (dawn, day, dusk, or night), it also calculates from actual sunrise/sunset for your location.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Two fully configurable timezones (label + UTC offset, supports half-hour zones like IST +5:30 or Nepal +5:45)&lt;br /&gt;* 4 pixel-art backgrounds per side that switch automatically based on real sunrise/sunset&lt;br /&gt;* Battery bar + step count&lt;br /&gt;* Temperature on whichever side matches your current location (so it&amp;#39;s never showing the wrong city&amp;#39;s weather)&lt;br /&gt;* 12h/24h toggle, &amp;deg;C/&amp;deg;F&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Optimized for 165 music, hoping to improve it for many more watches.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is of course an early &amp;#39;draft&amp;#39;, so there are a lot of improvements to be made, but I feel it looks good and there are not that many dual time zone options on the store.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:left;"&gt;Here&amp;#39;s an updated sales report with data from April and May. Sales have dropped like a rock &lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://forums.garmin.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/1f605.svg" title="Sweat smile"&gt;&amp;#x1f605;&lt;/span&gt;. I anticipated a slow down in the summer months but I have to admit I&amp;#39;m surprised by how quickly sales dried up. It will be interesting to see if sales come back this winter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One piece of good news is the web backend cost has continued to decrease as usage has gone down. Unfortunately I don&amp;#39;t anticipate the cost will decrease much further than ~$6.00 a month due to the size of of the ski run database. There&amp;#39;s an inherent cost to host that much data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ll continue to update every month or so but I don&amp;#39;t think there&amp;#39;ll be much excitement until November or December. Hope this is still interesting to folks, thanks for reading!&lt;/p&gt;
