No body temperature and altitude?

Former Member

I paid $250 for this gadget few months ago  which is now almost price of used Apple watch but as it turns out  Garmin “smart” watches are cheaper because they  have no microphone.

How about body temperature and altitude?

Manual says something about temperature in data fields ...  wtf is data field?

How do I display body temperature and altitude on this thing ?

I would so gladly return this crap or exchange for Apple watch

    When you use an activity like "run", you see data screens, and data screens have 1 or more data field.  You can change a couple of those data fields to show watch temperature and altitued.

    There are also a number of watch faces where you can display that data.

    Here's an example of one of mine: Halfs

    Here's how to configure what you see on the watch face. colors, etc:

    How is it possible to own this watch for a few months, read the manual and not have a clue what a data field is?

    Thanks Jim.  Halfs watchface has probably all the info I would like, although could not find barometer and altitude yet. Ideally I would like all such information on standard analog watchface by Garmin  which just looks prettier to me. Unfortunately it appears only one data field is supported on Garmin’s watchface.

    Did not know I have to use another app to easily configure watchfaces!

    Very poorly designed device, very unintuitive, why would I need to read some manual to modify watchface.
