Description
Speed data field with zone colors and pause times.
DESCRIPTION
Speed Color Field shows your speed so you can read it at a glance, even when riding fast: the whole background lights up in the color of your current speed zone. It shares its look with Power Color Field, so both fields sit nicely side by side on one data screen.
FEATURES
• Large current speed with the background in 7 zone colors (white, blue, green, yellow, orange, red, purple). A small buffer at the zone boundaries prevents flickering.
• Adjustable zone limits (default 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 km/h), e.g. lower for MTB or gravel.
• Top row: ride time and average speed (in its zone color). Tap the field to switch between the ride average and the current lap average (red pill).
• Bottom row: distance and maximum speed (in its zone color).
• Pauses: when the timer stops (auto pause or stop), the background turns light gray. The center shows the length of the current pause in red, the top row the total pause time of the ride.
• Adapts automatically to any field size, from 1 to 10 fields per page. Labels are shortened step by step when space is tight (TIMER → TIM → TM).
• English and German, km/h or mph depending on your device settings.
SETUP
1. Install the data field and add it to a data page of your cycling profile: Activity profile › Data screens › select a field › Connect IQ › Speed Color Field.
2. Optionally open the settings in the Connect IQ app:
– Top right: ride average / lap average (for devices without a touchscreen)
– Zone limits in km/h (each limit must be higher than the previous one)
3. Turn on auto pause in your activity profile to get the pause display.
REQUIREMENTS
• Speed sensor or GPS

What is new
VERSION 1.3.0
- Consistent text color across all Color Fields: white on every colored background, including yellow and orange; black only on white and light gray.
- Pill text no longer gets smaller after one hour (when the time changes from 59:59 to 1:00:00).
VERSION 1.2.4
- Larger pills and more readable labels in wide, shallow data fields. The main value adapts to the available space.
VERSION 1.2.3
• Lap average: in workouts from Garmin Connect, the value now restarts with every workout step.
VERSION 1.2.2
• Crash-safe: pause times continue after the field restarts, and a pause in progress keeps counting.
• Lower battery use: less work when redrawing.
