Great Widget. Using the estimated time to zero W Prime in indoor BKOOL HIIT velodrome sessions with the goal to get to, and below Zero Prime before the lap end. Brilliant and exhausting.

Having this field available while you ride is really useful.

Fonctionne parfaitement sur l'Edge 1030 Plus Works perfectly on the Edge 1030 Plus

Recent version (2.2.1) sometimes shows "NaN" or "Inf" on a Edge 830. With my old Edge 520, everything is fine and I really like the app. PLEASE upload the latest source to GitHub so users can help sorting out bugs!

No conseguía vincularlo con mi Garmin 1030, pero porque no sabía que había que entrar a: perfil - pantalla de datos - añadir nueva pantalla de datos -añadir nueva pantalla pantalla de datos - Connect IQ - y seleccionar w' balance

Dommage que l'on ne puisse plus voir sur analyse après entraînement la fonction en pourcentage comme sur le compteur que sa soit sur Garmin connect ou sur goldencheeta

The previous version was good. Unfortunately the new version does not work on my Edge 520 so I had to find another app.

Seems to accurately reflect what I'm feeling. It's nice to see how my energy is used. What's the app shown on the picture of the 520 with the data field "matches"?

I absolutely love knowing how much fuel is left in the tank and when I’m ready for another tough effort

Great app! Congrats to the developer. Trying to solve some doubts: 1- Calculate CP and W’ personalized values. In GC---Tools---CP and W’ Estimator. Input your 5’ and 20’ w values (do a test in advance). For example, 5’ @325 and 20’ @291 gives you CP=280, W’=14000. 2- Include CP and W’ in GC. Tools---Options---Athlete Tab---Power Zones tab. Add new (“+” button). Include date, CP and W’. You may also want to include FTP, to simplify typically same as FTP. Below it will appear your calculated power zones (in 7 thresholds). 3- Include CP and W’ in Garmin Device. In Garmin Connect Mobile App, go to More button at the bottom right hand side of the screen. Then Garmin Devices---Select your device (i.e. Edge 520)---IQ Connect Apps---Data Fields---W’Balance. Here you have the app installed and you can manually overwrite default values (250 and 20000) with your own. In the example 280 and 14000. Do this in each of the devices where you have this app installed. You may also want to match the calculation method on how W’ is used and recharged in Garmin and GC, so you get the same figures while riding and when analysing. In Garmin, in the same screen as step 3, set the method to Integer, as suggested by the developer, using Dr. Skiba method. In GC, go to Tools---Options---General Tab---W’Balance formula. In you prefer Froncioni method, set both Garmin and GC to Differential. 4- You may also want to have same power zones in GC (see step 2) and in Garmin. To do so, go to the Garmin Connect Mobile App (not PC, doesn’t work for me at least)---More button---Garmin Devices---Edge 520---User Configuration---Power Zones and manually input the same info as in GC Synchronize and you are done!

I have managed to get a result of negative 30 when doing long hard climbs. On one occasion have even got down to negative 40. Is this correct? - how do i interpret this number? Hope you can help

Hi, like a previous reviewer I am also unable to change the default values. I have amended them in Garmin Express and the SYNC has completed succesfully but it still displays 250watts 20000kj on the device. I am using an EDGE 520 on FW V12.60.

How on earth do you update the W' Value? It displays a default 20000 but Golden Cheetah has be at 31800

Hello I am testing the application, but it does not let me change the default values. Always appear 250 W and 20000 joules. Although you save and synchronize with Garmin Edge 1030 Greeting

Bravo pour cette application ! Un petit soucis cependant mon pourcentage ne revient pas toujours à 100% une fois que j'enregistre mon activité et en relance une autre le lendemain ... Tu sais d'où peux venir le problème ?
