Can data X be added?

Here’s a short (and not complete) list of datas that can’t be added, because they are technically not exposed by garmin:

  • battery time left in days/minutes (any manual calculation would never be more accurate than an estimation based on the percentage value by yourself)
  • oxygen saturation
  • recovery time
  • stress level
  • body battery
  • surface interval
  • no fly time
  • sunrise/sunset (included via custom calculation though)
  • …

Why does the default watchface show data X?

Garmin does NOT use the SDK that all developers need to use so they can access more data than any developer of a custom watchface by being able to write their watchfaces in a completely native way.

Can data X be added some day?

If new data is exposed by garmin one day, I will very probably add it to my watchface as well but currently there should not be missing any available data.
