Forerunner 235 Watch Face with HRM

Hey all,

New to the fitness watch scene and am trying to find a watch face or something that allows me to view my heart rate on the main display with the time and anything else I choose like distance/calories. I am trying to avoid having to press a button on the watch to view the heart rate. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Not possible.

1. HR is not constantly being measured (see the countless other posts for discussions on this).

2. Connect IQ SDK does not allow it I believe.

For steps, distance and calories being displayed on the watch face, you can download others from connect IQ. I personally use the "Better Original" watch face.

Actually it is possible, but through an app made to look like a watch face and not a watch face itself. There are currently 2 in the connect iq store, heart alarm and domipulse. Both look promising, but unfortunately only offer continuious sampling. Because of battery life ideally you'd want an option for 1min, 5min, 15min etc sampling. I've e-mailed the heart alarm developer about this. I'm going to play with that one for a few days and report back if it improves my RHR and calorie estimates.

I was thinking of coding my own up perhaps. With options for variable sampling frequency during the day for better active calories, and to have no HRM during the day and only turn of when asleep, if RHR is all you care about. We'll see.
