Padel Court - Padel & Cycling
· v0.0.2
About
A watch face for padel players who also ride.
The court is not a picture behind the numbers - it is the layout. The time sits
on the net line. The four service boxes hold your figures. The ring around the
edge is the day itself: blue for night, dim amber for the daylight you have
used, bright amber for the daylight left. One glance tells you whether there is
still light for another set.
WHAT IT SHOWS
Left side, your month:
- Padel games played, and hours on court
- Bike distance, rides and hours
Right side, right now:
- Wind speed, with an arrow pointing where it is blowing
- Temperature and altitude
- Steps, Body Battery and heart rate
Around the edge:
- Sunrise and sunset, drawn as a daylight arc with a live marker for now
- Date and watch battery
COUNTING HAPPENS BY ITSELF
Padel sessions and rides are counted as you finish them. The face listens for
completed activities and recognises padel by its activity type. There is
nothing to press and nothing to remember.
Connect IQ does not let a watch face read your activity history, so the monthly
totals start at zero on the day you install it. Settings let you enter what you
had already done this month - games, hours, kilometres, rides - and those are
added to everything counted from then on.
THINGS TO KNOW
Hours on court may show "--". Garmin tells a watch face which sport has just
finished, but not how long it lasted. Two ways of recovering the duration are
attempted; if neither works on your watch, the time is left blank rather than
invented. Game and ride counts are exact either way.
Wind, temperature and sunrise/sunset come from the weather your phone syncs to
the watch. If your watch's own weather widget is empty, these show "--" too.
Bike distance is built up from Garmin's weekly cycling total. It is accurate in
normal use, but can undercount if the face is never on screen across a week
boundary.
WHY IT ASKS FOR PERMISSIONS
- Background: to notice when a padel session or a ride finishes, so it can be
counted
- Sensor history: Body Battery and altitude
- Complications: weekly cycling distance
- Position: sunrise and sunset for where you are
Nothing leaves the watch. No data is collected, stored off-device or shared
with anyone.
THE DESIGN
The palette is the court's own, within the 64 colours the watch can show: court
navy, glass blue, white line paint. Ball green appears in exactly two places -
your padel count, and the marker for now.
The geometry is real. The service lines sit 6.95 m into a 10 m half court, and
the centre service line runs only from the net to the service line, exactly as
it is painted on a court.
Supported: fenix 7, fenix 7S, fenix 7X, and the Pro and no-Wi-Fi variants.
