Garmin ConnectIQ Workout Reserve data field

Dear @Jerome, thank you for your request! Updating the compatible device list is something we rely on the genius of @Phil to handle. I’m hopeful it will be updated soon, especially since the Edge 1050 looks like an excellent addition! :face_holding_back_tears:

It’ll become compatible with Edge 1050 with the next release. I need to complete some testing but expect I’ll release a compatible version within next fortnight or so.

Neither the documentation on ConnectIQ nor the youtube video explain whether or how this is sports specific for rowing, running, cycling. Does the IQ field know the appropriate power profile automatically from the Garmin app it’s added to, or does it have to be configured/synched individually for all different sports types and power profiles?

Dear @danros, thank you for your interest in the Workout Reserve.
It is currently available for cycling (with power) and running (with speed). It works best if you sync your profile before going out for a session. We are not releasing a version for the other modalities such as swim, but maybe in the next future we’ll be adding rowing to the list.

When you select the activity, the app automatically refers to your corresponding profile: cycling-> cycling, and running->running.

Sorry for the incomplete/suboptimal documentation. Please, keep the comments coming, I’m quite interested in your experience with the app.

Thanks again for your trust.

I’ve updated the description to indicate it is for cycling and running activities only.

It probably seems like an age, but the data field has now been updated, tested, and is compatible with the Edge 1050.

Hi, is it possible to make it available / compatible with “fenix 6”? it seems it’s compatible for like “fenix 6S” and “fenix 6 pro” and “fenix 5 plus” and such, but not the base “fenix 6” model…wondering if there’s a technical reason for it or if you just forgot to enable it. thanks

Technical reason I’m afraid. It simply does not have enough memory to run the data field. I did test the Fenix 6 for latest release but it would just crash due to running out of memory. I won’t rule it out in the future, if a newer Garmin IQ SDK is able to reduce the memory footprint sufficiently.

Edited to add. Before you say it has 64MB of memory surely that’s enough. Garmin restricts the resources available to data fields, in the case of Fenix 6 it’s 32kB.
