Instinct Runner

I haven’t been able to find a dedicated runner’s data field for the Instinct 3 range comparable to what’s available for other Garmin lineages, which is a real shame for what is otherwise one of my favorite Garmin watches. The default fields don’t make efficient use of screen space, and the tiny text can be difficult to read at a glance while running. I’ve created two custom running data fields, designed specifically for the Instinct 3 Solar (45mm), both available on the Connect IQ store. These focus on simplicity and readability, with large, legible, and relevant running metrics shown in a single screen. 1. Instinct Runner Displays multiple key metrics in an easy-to-read layout (top to bottom, left to right): - Elapsed Time - Current Pace or Lap Pace (toggleable) - Distance - Average Pace - Heart Rate Zone - Heart Rate 2. Instinct Runner Large A simplified version with even larger text, ideal for quick glances or older eyes. It shows: - Distance - Current Pace or Lap Pace (toggleable) - Average Pace - Elapsed Time Note: To make room for larger values, HR data is removed. You may want to place HR in the smaller field described below. Setup Notes / Customisation - On the Garmin Instinct 3, the first field (top right) is a smaller data field. I don’t know how to customize this one. - To use these custom fields as intended, assign them as the second data field, and use the first for anything else you’d like to track (e.g., HR). The background color should follow the watch’s default theme. - Both data fields allow you to toggle between current pace and lap pace in the settings menu. Many runners (myself included) prefer lap pace for its consistency, but the choice is yours. Notes & Credits The code is intentionally simple to minimize memory usage. Built by learning from RunnersField by kpaumann — thanks for open-sourcing your work. This is my first attempt at a Garmin data field. It works well on my own watch, but I’m not a developer — bugs may exist, and I won’t be able to offer support or custom features. If you find it useful, please consider leaving a positive review.

Version 2 - Modified distance formatting so it always shows to 2 decimal places.
