Dozen Run, Swim, Paddle and Cycle Data Fields
After others are forcing you to pay for these applications, so I decided to make a great data field(s) and then keep them free. I’m a Software engineer, sponsored runner and run coach, I combined my engineering and running knowledge to bring you these streamline applications.

I put thousands of hours of bench and field testing these simple applications. So, consider a small donation.

The Dozen fields are intended for training, the data field works fine for speed work, track or races, but readability in these conditions maybe tougher. 

Description for all fields
–All watch types are support for all data fields. Coded simple to keep bugs at minimum.
-Race Prediction completely configurable for any distance. Distance is entered in meters. Enter 1%-2% longer distance to adjust for normal GPS error and better race prediction.
-Cadence either from watch, footpod or crank cadence. Color coded to provide instant readability
-Heart Rate field is configurable to several methods: calculation (default), manual entered max HR, or individual zones Color coded to provide instant readability
-Pace/Speed is a rolling average to give a smooth reading configurable from 1 second to 120 seconds (Metric or statute by user setting)
-Distance is the total distance for the activity (Metric or statute by user setting)
-Timer is the Elapse time of the active time. Not Elapsed time.

2. programmed from Garmin Connect (phone type) or Garmin Express
3.) Which data field 
4.) description of issue
5.) if its a “!” error include the error log from your watch. Connect your watch to a PC using USB cable. The error log is located x:\GARMIN\APPS\LOGS. copy the listing and paste in the post.

Troubleshoot

  • Download Issue/Cannot Install -> “App requires an update before install”,
    • Update software and Restart
    • Your watch is in a firmware install /maintenance mode.
      • Reboot the watch twice and restart the installing app (connect or express). 
    • Then complete the download again.
  • “IQ!” Issue: If you receive a “!”, completely uninstall, reboot and then reinstall. The Setting file changed and the automated Garmin install is not replacing the setting file.
  • TIMER Issue: If you update/install and you see the TIMER and don’t see the Dozen data field.
    • The data field update or install may require a restart of watch.
    • Or the data field needs added to the built-in application, again.
