Weight Training - Sets Data Field

I've looked on the watch, and I've searched the CIQ store...with no luck. I'm trying to add a "sets" data field to a screen. I know that the watch tracks this, as whenever I start a new set, it tells me the set number.

There are times I forget (or think I forgot) to record a set. I use a separate application on my phone to track my workouts, so I know what set I'm on in the application. It would be nice to see this field on my watch, so that I can glance to ensure the two match.

I'm actually surprised it's not a field that shows...

I’ve just double checked, as I thought I had seen a set counting data field in the past, but there isn’t one. so I agree it’s strange that there is a rep count data field, but not a set count data field. The only thing I can suggest is putting it in to Garmin’s ideas portal https://www.garmin.com/en-US/forms/ideas/

I noticed this last night when I did my first workout with my 6.

You see the set number when you start the next set from rest but you cant put this as a data field on a screen. Would love to be able to see it there too as its one less thing to try and remember how many sets you have done. - Would also love to see it in the rest screen the last set number so you know how many you had done.

I will suggest this in the share idea link that Crispin shared

I DID have a sets data field on my F6 when I set it up right after Christmas. It was great. Then sometime in January it completely disappeared and I've been forced to use laps and divide by 2 in my head. IDK if there was an update to remove Sets DF for some reason, but I definitely had it at one point. I started a thread on this same topic a month or so ago, but didn't get traction.Glad to see I'm not the only one wanting this!

I did see something about that - I guess one of the software updates removed it.

I have sent to the idea's thing a request for the set data field in both the rest screen and normal work out screens. Also asked to be able to edit the rest screen

Hope they will listen to me and add them in - might be worth submitting the same idea too from yourself - power to the people as it where.

Thanks, all...I'll submit the suggestion.

Can we try to use the "lap" data field?

0 Nils_D over 4 years ago in reply to dash1e

It's an option but it counts rest as well so set number is always doubled - 1 and it gets a bit annoying.

0 JBHORNER over 4 years ago in reply to dash1e

I don’t see lap as selectable in data screen setup. So, I’d say that isn’t an option.

You are right, but the behaviour is very strange.
In this moment I have a data screen for weight training activity with the "lap" field. But as I remove it, I'm no longer able to add it or move it in another position
