Bike Power
· v1.3.0
About
Full-page data field for ANT+ bike power meters on watches and bike computers. Especially useful on devices without native cycling power support (for example Forerunner 165), and also usable as a secondary power display/recording field elsewhere.
If Bike Power Field is useful on your rides, you can leave a voluntary tip to support maintenance and updates:

The app is and stays fully free. Tips are optional, not required, and do not unlock any features.
Shows:
• Current power (watts)
• Average power for the recording
• Normalized Power (NP)
• Current cadence (RPM) and average cadence
Connects directly to standard ANT+ Bicycle Power sensors such as SRAM AXS Quarq DUB. Optional setting: enter your ANT+ device ID (0 = auto search). If the watch shows a 6-digit ID, enter that number. Without a power meter, an ANT+ cadence sensor can supply RPM (watts stay 0). With a power meter, cadence comes only from the power meter.
During an activity the field writes Connect IQ developer fields into the FIT file (instant power/cadence chart, session and lap averages, NP). After installing from the Connect IQ Store, these fields appear in Garmin Connect. Sideloaded builds do not show Connect IQ fields in Connect.
How to use:
1. Add a data page with a single field and select Bike Power Field.
2. Start your activity and begin recording.
3. Keep ANT+ enabled on your power meter (BLE-only pairing to a phone is not enough).
Notes:
• Normalized Power needs about 30 seconds of recording before it becomes meaningful.
• Garmin Connect does not treat Connect IQ power as native device power analytics.
• Requires an ANT+ bike power meter for watts. An ANT+ cadence sensor is enough for the RPM display.
What's new
ANT+ cadence sensor fallback for RPM when no power meter is present. 6-digit IDs from the watch are accepted.
