Description
Old seismographs recorded earthquakes on a rotating drum of soot-blackened paper: a fine stylus scratched a bright line through the black. Roetdrum (Dutch for "soot drum") turns your watch into that drum, and the tremor it records is your heart.
• THE LAST HOUR OF YOUR HEART - every minute a new heart-rate sample is scratched into the rim. Together they form a living seismogram of the past ~55 minutes: calm, flat stretches at rest, mountains when you climb the stairs, sharp peaks during intervals.
• THE STYLUS IS THE MINUTE HAND - the red stylus always sits on the current minute. Just ahead of it the paper is freshly smoked and blank, so you can see at a glance where "now" is.
• HEART-RATE ZONES IN INK - the trace is coloured by your own Garmin heart-rate zones (white, blue, green, orange, red), or pick a single ink: chalk white, amber or cyan.
• 10K STEPS - a ring of ten segments, one per 1,000 steps, fills around the time. Reach your goal and the whole ring turns green.
• BATTERY - always on top, turns red below 20% and green while charging.
• CLEAR CENTRE - big digital time, date, current heart rate and steps.
• MADE FOR BOTH SCREEN TYPES - all colours sit on the 64-colour grid of memory-in-pixel screens. On AMOLED watches the always-on mode shows only a dim trace, the time and heart rate, shifted every minute and scan-lined against burn-in.
Heart rate is refreshed once per minute. When the face starts it rebuilds the last hour from your watch's heart-rate history, so the drum is never empty.
Settings (Connect IQ phone app, or on the watch):
- Trace colour: heart-rate zones / chalk white / amber / cyan
- Step goal: 5,000 / 8,000 / 10,000 (default) / 12,000 / 15,000 / device goal
- Drum scratches: on / off
Permissions: SensorHistory (heart-rate history for the last hour) and UserProfile (your heart-rate zones). No data leaves your watch.
