Garmin ConnectIQ App

Hello amazing people,

There used to be an app for Garmin that allowed users to view critical training stats from intervals, but it hasn’t been updated for some time. I’ve vibed one for a Fenix 8 pro, along with some visual tweaks to customise the display for the round screen. A few screen shots are below.

I’m looking for folks to test, and will share the github repo shortly. Is the commonly accepted approach for watch-apps to load API keys per-user?

Cheers, M.

Have at it peeps:

  1. CIQ link: Connect IQ Store | Watch Faces and Apps | Garmin
  2. Repo: GitHub - micky-gee/intervals-glances: A vibe coded Garmin ConnectIQ app to display intervals.icu data · GitHub

Would love your thoughts…

Looks nice. The CIQ link doesn’t appear to be working for me unfortunately. Which devices is it compatible? The GitHub repo makes it sounds like it once works with the Fenix 8pro. Would be good if other watches could be added (I have a Forerunner 955 :innocent: )

Thanks, I’ve learn’t something about Garmin ConnectIQ app store :slight_smile:

Here is the link once Garmin’s app review process has run its course: Connect IQ Store | Watch Faces and Apps | Garmin

Side loading this on a per-user API key basis (with no settings support in ConnectIQ) is just going to be a mess. So please give the review process a few days to run its course. I can confirm F955 is included in the device support, and I’ve modified the screen layout to support the colour depth and size. Looks fine in the simulator too.

PS if you want to yolo it you can find your device in the side loading release Releases · micky-gee/intervals-glances · GitHub

Bumped the minor number, added on-device zoom, and reworked the HRV graph

Will this be available for the Instinct 3 Amoled in the future too?

You will be pleased to know it already does! Download it from the ConnectIQ app store: Connect IQ Store | Watch Faces and Apps | Garmin

I’d really appreciate you testing it and giving some feedback on how it looks in your specific form factor.

Thanks Alexander!

looks very good :wink:

works great!

One thing I would love to see is the ability to set the data page as first, so after opening I can see form data page as first and graphs next :wink: other than that really nice widget :slight_smile:

Thanks @Lukasz_Pludowski, good suggestion. I’m struggling with the rigid way that Garmin ConnectIQ manages settings, let me try some different ideas.

YAY! Over 100 of you amazing people have downloaded this app! Thank you :grin:

Just a heads up: I’ve added an OAuth flow, negating the need for the copy-and-paste of an API key; and a gentle migration process to move users from API keys to OAuth without breaking anything.

This looks really nice - can I ask - how long did it take them to approve your app? I’ve had a review request in for weeks - nothing, nada,

Garmin? It took a while (so long that I made a bunch of side-loadable apps for peeps to use themselves). I think review depends on the specific set of actions your app takes, so if you’re requesting API calls that do more complex things it may take longer.

Folks,

Just a heads up: new CIQ app supports both the F9 and publishes complications for inclusion in your custom watch faces.

Just had an error with MIP based devices reported; been present for a while. So if your Forerunner 255 or similar device was giving you issues, its fixed now.
