Heart rate zones like Wahoo LED's

I am switching over from a Wahoo Bolt and one of the features I miss most is the ability to show what heart rate zone I am in with the LED lights across the top, they are color-coded and its very easy to look down and see that what zone I am in based on the color of the LED's. I know the edge doesn't have LEDs but I figure there would be a data field that would show a color-coded graph that could accomplish the same thing but I don't seem to be able to find it, anyone has a way to get something similar?

I am on a mountain bike so looking down and trying to read a number and isn't as easy as just spotting a color bar.

The field I used to use on my 520+ hasn't been updated by the developer for the 530 (BGinfo Zones + HR). So you could try HR+ that gives you the HR in zone-defined colors:

One of the built in graphical widgets displays a colour coded graph. It's an area graph showing your recent heart rate history, where the coloured shading under the line changes with different zones. I find this reasonably easy to see at a glance what is going on - especially if you put it in a larger data field.

Thanks that is closer to what I am looking for. What would be nice is if the data field at the bottom would change colors as the heart rate went up to match the zone.

To give you an idea on how easy the Wahoo makes it just look at my video and you can see the LED colors change and can tell even through a GoPro what zone I am in.

There are a couple of different graphical data fields. This is the one I find most useful. Note the grey for zone 1 and blue for zone 2. Green/Orange/Red also feature for the higher zones. Once you've spent 10 seconds or so in a particular zone you end up with a block of colour that is easy to see at a glance.

I don't see it in the IQ store

It's native to the device, in the list of available data fields.
