Have to wait to see results first time. After that works fine for me.

need this for my edge 1040!

I need this widget in my Edge 1040!

The widget was functioning fine, but since some time it does not work anymore. It only shows IQ! In the middle of the watch face. Any idea how to fix this?

Most likely a connection problem and not an issue of the widget itself. Ensure that your mobile and watch are connected via Garmin Connect Mobile App while retrieving the UV-Index

Sometimes works others not, most of the time seems to show the correct index but there's time on the day that doesn't make sense what is shown (either higher index or lower, cross checked with few UV Index sources)

Developer Reply

This is most likely due to the weather forecast data. The current UV-Index in my widget is corrected with the cloud coverage (in %) retrieved from openweather. You should compare the UVmax value to what weather services publish as this is the clear sky maximum for the day. Use this value (and your own judgement) to be on the save side!

doesn't work for forerunner 235...

Super! Schön wäre, wenn man beim Durchscrollen ohne Wartezeit den letzten UV Index sehen würde, auch ohne Bluetoothverbindung zum Smartphone. Zumindest den prognostizierten Tageshöchstwet.

If your watch supports „widget glances“ and you switch this feature on you have exactly this behavior.

@Tomkin, it does work. Just contact the developer

Awful does not work

Ob man es wirklich braucht? Gute Frage! Aber es funktioniert und stimmt auch mit den Wetterdaten überein. Sicherlich gut, wenn man unterwegs UV-Schutz erneuern will. Gute Arbeit!!! (Fenix 6X Pro)

Like it. Simple, always working great.

An excellent widget. Very well made, works well and doesn't seem to negatively affect my watch battery life. Recommended.

Application très utile, qui permet de réagir afin de protéger sa peau des dégâts causés par le soleil, vraiment très bien !!

A simple, accurate UV indexing tool. Brilliant :)

Works perfect in simulator. If you expect help, kindly contact me with more details instead of leaving an unspecific 1-star-review. If you want me to respond, please also ensure you add your e-mail when clicking the "Contact Developer" link.

Simply does not work on vivoactive 4 after the update

Sorry to hear that. Can you pl contact me with more details. I can't see any issue with CIQ Simulator for vivoactive 4.

Very simple app, works even without phone location turned ON. I'd love if there was a datafield that could be dropped into workout screens.

Stopped working on Fenix 3... Loved it, but now relying on Garmin app... Would love to know how to fix

Sorry, V1.2.7 broke support for Fenix3, please upgrade to V1.2.8

Mr. M.
April 28, 2021 | Version v1.2.6

I really don't understand why my Fenix 6S Pro shows 3.9 UV-index and 12.8 UV-index Max while my other watch Vivoactive 4 shows 4.3 UV-index and 5.0 UV-index Max. Those values can't be trusted! What's wrong with this widget?!

Developer Reply
June 22, 2021, laufschnauff

Issue should be fixed with V1.2.7

Bogdan
February 8, 2021 | Version v1.2.6

Probably it does what is says but it is laggy and boring. At least some minimum design is needed.

AtishPareh
December 10, 2020 | Version v1.2.6

Also this widget uses too much battery, please also fix.

AtishPareh
December 4, 2020 | Version v1.2.6

Everytime you use the workout applications or connect to PC, the widget has to find GPS again, please update a fix for this, so that the cache doesn't get cleared unless you manually update to new GPS location.
