Do you know which Watch Face can display HR in Fenix 5 ?

Hi there,

I know Fenix 5 is relatively new and there are not many watch face available.

I just got mine yesterday and I wanted a clock face that in addition to show us the time, it can display the STEPS and HEART RATE.

So far, I have been looking in all the downloadable Watch Faces but I have not come across one that can display HR. Maybe I could have missed out ...

Anyone here manage to find a watch face that can display HR for the Fenix 5 ?

Thanks

My watch face NoFrills is capable of displaying the heart rate.

Just keep in mind that no watch face can display a real-time value that updates every second. Only a historic reading can be displayed that updates every 2 minutes.
This is by design in Garmin's side to conserve battery power.

Like Hermo said, it's not real time on a CIQ watchface, but maybe a minute or two old, but also, the display only updates once a minute with CIQ watchfaces, so even if they could get it real time, it could be a minute old. Most of mine have HR as an option, and there's one called "Simple Heart" that shows the time, HR, and steps in a larger font.

Thanks too for your info on how the HR is being displayed ...
