Power gauge data field interpretation

Dear community (and of course Garmin),

I have a question regarding a data field on my Forerunner 955 Solar.

I recently started to use a power meter on my bike and played around with some custimization of my data screens.

I found a whole data screen to choose, which is called "power", showing color bars for the power zones, 3s power and cadence (first photo). This whole screen is not customizable (so I cannot change it or add any data fields to that).

As I would also like to see my heart rate together with power and cadence, I created a new data screen with 3 data fields. For power data fields I found a "power gauge", also including color bars for the power zones (second photo), which I find useful and a power value. I tried to find out which power value that is (instant or maybe also 3s average like in the other dedicated power data screen), but I did not find a description of this data field on the internet so far.

Can anyone tell me, which power value is shown in this data field? (As it´s pouring down at the moment I did not yet have the chance to test it and perhaps find out by myself if this is an instant value).

Thanks a lot for any information!

  • Hi again,

    today I used the short rain break for a quick test. Unfortunately the power value shown in this power gauge data field obviously is an instant value as it was jumping around like mad (as I only have a single power meter and not a dual one, where it might provide a bit more consistent readings).

    It´s a pity that it is not possible to change this power gauge data field to 3s average as it would be nice to have both the color bars for the zones and the 3s value combined --> maybe something garmin could pick up as an idea for future updates?
