PoWer Prime

A Cycling Data Field for Garmin Edge devices that displays current Power as well as the rider’s W’ Balance. Enter the rider's Critical Power and W' values in Settings, and PoWer Prime field will display current average Power (3 sec, 5 sec or 10 sec) on left side of field, and display the current W' Balance on the right side. In addition to configuring the rider's Critical Power, W' values and number of seconds used to calculate average Power, the Settings provides configuration to enable/disable the colors for Power and W' Balance. If Power colors are enabled, the background will change to the following colors: - Yellow: from 110 to 150% of Critical Power - Red: from 150% to 175% of Critical Power - Purple: above 175% of Critical Power If W' Balance colors are enabled, the background will change to the following colors: - Yellow: from 70 to 40% of W' Balance - Red: from 40 to 20% of W' Balance - Purple: below 20% of W' Balance The PoWer Prime field displays the W' Balance either graphically as a battery (default) or with numeric value. This is configurable in the Settings. Battery condition reported by the Power Meter will be shown when the Activity is stopped or paused. Possible values are: New, Good, OK, Low, or Critical.
