Feature-request: Add interval info to Toybox.Activity.Info

There seems to be a lot of requests to add interval fields as data screens, e.g.

And many, many more. Reasons vary but one example is being able to show the current pace at the same time as time left in interval.

Ideally this would be added as built-in data fields that can be added to any data screen. Primarily what is needed seems to be:

  • Current interval (and out of how many, e.g. 3/5 repetitions)
  • Time left in interval
  • Time until next interval starts

Given the demand for this and the fact that Garmin does not seem to provide this even though it's been asked for for several years, if it was exposed in the SDK, likely on the Toybox.Activity.Info class, we developers would be able to implement flexible data screens for this need.

Oh and I tried to search this feature-request forum specifically but it's pretty hard to navigate all the threads and search results. Since I didn't find a feature request for this I want to add this as a tracking idea so we can refer users asking about this feature and gain traction to it.

  • This will be an unsatisfying answer—when it comes to activity info, Connect IQ exposes data already available at the system level through the API for developers to use. If it's not available at through the system, then it's not something we can expose through our API. I'll raise this with the product team, because maybe they have a plan to add this at some point or perhaps have a reason why they haven't. But for now, this is not something that will be made available in the Connect IQ API.
