Over a dozen Garmin Watches now support "native" Running Power. You don't need a special CIQ app or an external sensor. You can display native Garmin fields to show your Current Running Power. This FAQ lists the watches that support native Running Power. https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=C8eynCstM95kcVf50iAmp6
However, CIQ is broken. currentPower does display in the Simulator, but on a real Garmin Watch, it always/only returns NULL. At least on my Forerunner 955 with the latest firmware. But I imagine this same bug exists on all the watches.
- Activity.info.averagePower() works
- Avtivity.info.currentPower() always and only returns NULL (which is the more important metric)
Note: You can replicate this bug by writing a very simple CIQ Data Field that displays averagePower() and currentPower(), running on a Forerunner 955.
You can also just run my Data Field called "Run Power Test": https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/2705322d-42a5-4c1d-8323-c1c7ad258baa
This might be considered a device bug, but it works perfectly on the device... the native fields display current Power. The only bug is that CIQ apps don't get currentPower. But they do get averagePower.
