BigFont Heart Rate 1Hz (big font)
· v2023-05-01
About
Idea: HeartRate updates once per second ( means in 1Hz mode) in BIG FONT directly on the watchface. Minimalistic data, Time and HeartRate in BIG FONT, for easy reading under bad conditions (and for my old eyes).
It is for Fenix 5, 5S, 6 and other newest Garmin watches which have this 1Hz mode.
Shows:
- Weekday and day (no need to show the month, as I know it)
- Hour and Minutes
- Seconds as number
- HeartRate in 1Hz (hundreds are shown small, as you should feel them, so no need to "see" them big.)
- Battery %, including color for state.
Arches are always starting from 6:00 position(down in middle)
- Movebar 0-180 degrees starting from 6:00 position. (level 0-5)
- Floors, Steps and ActivitMinutesWeek: Goal is reached at 90 degrees. twice the goal is at top (12:00).
When goal is achived, that part (90 degrees) is color in a user defined color.
Icons:
- Bluetooth: gets blue when connected to the phone
- Alarm: gets green, when an alarm is set
Color settings can be changed and the license number entered via the Garmin Connect Mobile or Garmin Express UI. Here is how to do it: https://apps.garmin.com/settingsHelp.
License: The application runs some time without any restriction, only the heart rate icon remains gray.
For a fee of 6 EUR, you get the unlimited time version. Then the heart icon will change from grey to red.
Please test the watchface before making the payment at https://paypal.me/Seli17/6EUR
Please avoid my Paypal fees, by not choosing the "buyer protection", then send me the ID displayed ON the watch, the type of watch and country you live in AND your EMail. It is a manual process, but I reply as soon as possible (less than 24 hours). Thank you very much. (check your SPAM folder)
Hint: the Heart Rate Icon shows:
- red: app is licensed
- gray: app is NOT licensed
- purple: PowerExceed: the 1Hz event used to much calculation power of the watch, so 1Hz mode is temporally suspended by Garmin firmware.
Reason: too many pixel had to been redrawn in the 1Hz event by the watch. 1 Hz mode draws of "seconds as number", Bluetooth and "HeartRate".
To return in 1 Hz mode, use up/down buttons to "restart" the watchface. (should not occure anymore (on Fenix 5))
Enjoy!
