About
RS GAUGES — premium cycling data field for Garmin Edge 1050.
One full-screen view designed for glance-readability at race pace. Custom Orbitron typography sized for the 480×800 display. Light and dark themes with automatic time-of-day switching.
THREE CORE PANELS
Heart rate (right). Massive BPM digits with a zone-colored arc gauge. Zone labels (FLOW, AERO, ATTACK, REDLINE) appear for 5 seconds when you cross a boundary. Tap to cycle between live BPM, average BPM, and zone-colored BPM.
Speed (left top). Current speed in big digits with average and max alongside.
Power (left bottom). Instant watts by default. Tap to cycle: W → W 3 SEC → W 10 SEC → NP (Normalized Power, Coggan formula). Three lightning bolts signal effort tiers above FTP.
SPRINT DETECTION
Auto-trigger uses five conditions: 5-second power above 1.3× FTP, spike vs. 25-second background, speed above 28 km/h, 3 km/h acceleration in 5 seconds, cadence at or above 80 RPM. Manual override available — a TAP TO SPRINT button appears in the power section when conditions partially fire. Full-screen sprint view tracks peak power and peak speed. Smart 60-second cooldown exits early if your heart rate drops back to Z3.
