Thank you so much. This is just the format I needed for the elapsed time as now Garmin for some reason puts the hour in tiny writing by the bigger minutes and seconds. Please consider having a screen with elapsed time and time of day only. It would be great for ultras to track cutoff time check. Thank you!

Thank you. Great to hear you find it useful. You can always configure it to just show 2 fields, having the other fields set to "none". The two fields won't be any bigger than they currently are, but you won't be distracted by the other data. Also not there is also the BigNumbersPg2 data field in case you want to configure two separate pages.

Excellent app! My old eyes are grateful :) Is it possible to add Gears or Gear Ratio for cyclists please?

Developer Reply

Great to hear it's working out well for you. Thanks for the suggestion on gears. I'm not actively working on this data field currently, but I'll add it to the feature request list for when I am.

Very useful, and nicer than the original data fields. Unfortunately on my Venu SQ is not working since some time (like if there is a lot of clipping, or not installing) - and I miss it.

Developer Reply

Enzo, this is a know system bug that impacts all CIQ data fields. It's only letting you draw in the middle of the screen. Hopefully Garmin will get this fixed soon. Glad you were finding the field useful, and hopefully you will again soon.

amazing job, simple and beauty two qestionds: 1. is the new wrist power supported? 2. if so can you add color by power zone?

Developer Reply
November 11, 2022, ekutter

Thanks for the positive feedback. Power should work the same, whether it's from cycling or running. Unfortunately, that means just current power at this point as I've never had any requests for anything more. I don't currently have any support for power zones for either cycling or running. I'm not currently working on this data field, but I'll add it to the request list for when I do.

Many data field creators designs fancy looking data fields that is nice to look at but forgotten about practicallity. When u are running u simply can't see those grain size elements clearly. Tested a bunch of data field, this is the best. 8 fields are plenty without needing to rotate screen, and the extra large text is simply brilliant for visibility. It will be perfect if there more color options for the texts.

Developer Reply

Thanks for the feedback. With the current interface, more options like colors gets a bit unwieldly. When I have some extra time, I'll look into options for doing on watch customization that could give more options.

A very good app. After the last update, the numbers on my "EPIX2" are shown smaller by half.

Developer Reply
August 1, 2022, ekutter

Thanks for the report. The fonts on the Epix/V2 have been fixed in 1.21. I guess half size fonts probably aren't quite what you are looking for in "Big Numbers".

Great for running (and activities where you can't hold your wrist stationary enough to easily read small numbers). Waiting hopefully for this to be updated for the FR955/255 because there's nothing else like it out there!

Developer Reply

Thank you, and thanks for bringing this to my attention. I was thinking I'd already released an update for the 955/255. I'll do that this week.

Great App! Exactly what I was looking for. I have one request though: Could you add a color for “Avg HR Zone”? Right now I use “HR Zone“ color for the Avg HR field but it would be nicer if the color would be matching with my avg hr.

Developer Reply
April 5, 2021, ekutter

I'm glad you like the field. I'll look at what's involved with using Avg HR for the zone color. Memory is pretty limited for many devices so not sure it will work out but I'll check.

I set the first 3 fields to lap distance, lap time, and lap pace, but they all show the data for the overall activity and not the lap. Uninstalled and re installed, but same issue.

Sorry to hear you are having this problem. Are you still seeing it? I played with the latest version and it is properly display the lap info for lap fields.

Deepak Rao

Lovely app. One suggestion would be to change the cadence to 'lap' cadence, or to add lap cadence as a field.

Developer Reply
November 19, 2020, ekutter

Thank you. I'll look into the lap cadence for a future release. CIQ doesn't directly make lap data available but that should be an easy one to calculate.

Nice. but I have the same problem as Weichun. Power does not show up. I suspect it's because I have all the power data fields from Garmin installed so big numbers is lost? or it's something else, like it looks for stryd power not Garmin power? I do not want to start testing by removing each to data field to see... would be appreciated if you would explain. Thanks

Developer Reply

Unfortunately I don't have access to that value. Please see my response to Weichun.

Good app. I use it every time I run. My question is how come the power field does not show up? I am using FR 645 and have a Garmin hrm-RUN. It shows power data in its page but not in Big Numbers' field.

Developer Reply
October 24, 2020, ekutter

I believe you are specifically referring to running power. Garmin doesn’t natively support running power and so never fills in the power info for CIQ. I believe you are using something like the Garmin Running Power CIQ data field or similar. If so, there is no way for me to get that value as it’s another Connect IQ field computing that value for itself. If you are using a Stryd CIQ data field, it is directly connecting to the Stryd sensor, and again, I wouldn’t have access to the data. It might work if you used Stryd and paired it as a power meter. But then you wouldn’t be able to use any other CIQ fields that connect to the Stryd. Unfortunately this is a limitation of the system that I have no control over.

Is it possible that the last update caused a battery problem on Venu? After the update of 03.01.2020 my watch used up about 10% of the battery within 15 minutes. After I uninstalled the App Big Numbers the battery consumption returned to normal.

Developer Reply
January 4, 2020, ekutter

No, it's not possible that Big Numbers itself caused this. There is nothing that any CIQ data field could do that would cause this severe a battery drop. If having this on your device really caused the battery drain, it would be an issue with the Venu update and would happen with any CIQ data field.

As advertised, easy to read, easy to set up. I'm not complaining, but I would prefer to have the left and right hand fields one notch higher up. Parallel with the second metric / data field.

Glad you like it. I'm going to look in to adding an extra pair of optional small fields on the 2nd row to give more customization options. Thanks for the feedback.

I can't change the foreground in black and the data's letters in white!

Developer Reply
August 5, 2019, ekutter

I'm sorry that you are having issues. Big Numbers uses whatever color you've set up for the activity background as the background color. If you select black, the default foreground color will be white. You don't mention what device you are using, but there should be a setting for background color if you bring up the settings menu. This is not a Big Numbers specific setting. If you are still having issues, please click on the "contact developer" so I can get your issue sorted out.

Love the simplicity and very easy to read at a glance. Hope you could trim the Time of the Day (without second) option. Because it is a little bit longer and taking too much space in my Fenix 5. Good work.

Developer Reply
July 30, 2019, ekutter

Thank you, and glad you like it. I'll take a look at adding that as an option. I've got a couple other requested improvements so I'll try to look at refreshing it in the near future. I am fairly limited by the memory on legacy devices. At some point I may need to break it for different devices.

Developer Reply

Thanks. I'm glad you are finding the field useful and appreciate the feedback. I've added your request to my list of items to consider. I'm already running into memory limits on some devices so that will likely be a factor.
