Rails version 4.0.0

What’s new

A number of older devices with less memory available cannot accommodate any more additions to this app. These include fenix 6s, anything from the fenix 5/Plus generation, all Forerunners before the 255, etc. This version freezes the development on these devices and in the future only maintenance changes are expected.

New on all devices

  • New Time font Opt 1
  • New Theme T1

New on devices with enough memory

  • Weekly walking activity distance

    This is an addition to the already present run, bike and swim activities, and works the same way. The week counts from the first day of the week as defined in Garmin Connect.
  • Training effect

    It can be selected for Top/Bottom icons or central data fields, or for the Top/Bottom rails. On the rails it covers the range from 0 to 5.

  • Wheelchair pushes support (pushes, goal, distance)

    Pushes counter and pushes goal work the same way as steps counter and goal when the watch is in wheelchair mode. In addition, the daily or weekly distance reports the distances covered.

    According to Garmin, currently this can only work on Venu 3/3s and Vivoactive 5.
  • Sensor graphs

    Graphs displaying data from the watch sensors can be shown in the Bottom field.

    6 data choices are available:
    -barometric pressure (6 hours)
    -elevation (6 hours)
    -temperature (6 hours)
    -body battery (12 hours)
    -stress (4 hours)
    -heart rate (4 hours)

  • More data options for Top and Bottom icons

    Steps and pushes with their respective goals were added.

    Also, the middle Top icon field (2nd on most devices or 3rd on Venu Sq2) now allows displaying the free text.

  • c and C in date format display day and month name in caps

    So for example date format “c D C” will show “THU 07 MAR”.

  1. Thank you for your comment. Did you have an unlock key for this app? If so, please check if it is still there in the settings. Sometimes Garmin do something strange that causes the key to disappear. Otherwise please check if you have enabled any setting with a star icon next to it. This will cause the padlock to appear if there is no valid unlock key.

  2. Hi. I like the this face and didn’t have any issue at the beginning, but now an icon of a l”lock” is appearing. Anyone know why?

  3. Love this face, would love to have a retro lcd font option!

  4. También la información de la fase lunar cuando no se utilizan los segundos.

  5. Todas las mejoras muy buenas, pero se hubiera habilitado también, la opcion del viento cuando no se utilizan los segundos. Se vería excelente bsjo la información de la termperatura actual.

Please share your comments or ideas for improvement and new features.
