Hi all, a total newbie question. How do I get the 935 to display timer like hh:mm instead mm:ss as you go past 1 hr? As it now is, when the duration goes beyond 1hr, the 1 hr changes to very small (like index number) font and minutes and seconds are on normal font.

Unless there is some CIQ data field that does this, don't believe you can.
Ok, thanks. I have to admit this is really suprising feature. Do people really want to see the seconds (instead of hrs) on longer sessions? Yeah, I can figure I am running 4+ hrs, but once you go let's say past 10hrs it would be really needed to Easily see if you've done 11+ or 13+ hrs.. or is it just me ? Otherwise happy with the device so far.
Generally yes I like to see the seconds going up as might want to make mental notes on what is going on plus reassures me that I haven't stop the timer by mistake. I rarely (if ever) go for more than a few hours at a time so if the hour display is small (although I can still read it) then no problem for me there.
Maybe experiment with a data page with less things on it to see if the timer appears bigger for you?
My CIQ data field for displaying user-configurable formulas may be a bit of overkill for your case, but it can display the timer as hh:mm (without seconds), after it goes past 59:59.
* Display mm:ss for the first hour, then hh:mm afterwards: Formula: IF [Timer LT 3600, Timer, Timer DIV 60] Display Format: Time Label: whatever you want
* Or you could just have it display [hh:]mm:ss, with all digits in the same font/size (although they may all get a bit smaller when you hit 1 hour, because of the extra digit(s) and colon): Formula: Timer Display Format: Time
Thank you all for the suggestions and tips. Turns out this was more "stupid user" type of thing. You can actually have time displayed as hh:mm:ss by default. It just requires you to use the second one of the 3 field data screens. The one with the field labels shown. I initially tried with the 3 fields (biggest font) and the ones with 4 fields, and those behave like described in the first post. Thanks timgrose for suggesting to play with fields. So all is well with regards to this.
FlowState, You've done some amazing work, thanks for the pointer and the job you've done with the App! If one wants to use the biggest font and hh:mm format, your app is needed and will do the trick nicely. I will sure use your app for other purposes.
