Where did my percentages go? Now, I’m just getting completed XSS, which would not have been my choice!
You see the percentages visually. I think it is a good improvement. It was hard to see all the changing numbers.
Your ability to judge percentages visually may be better than mine. Also, due to the miscalibration between XSS buckets and Xertonline, I try to fill my High and Peak buckets to 125%. There is no visual indication of how far above 100% you are.
I agree that the flashing numbers were hard to read, but I think the percentages were the more useful of the two metrics. I have never once been interested in the XSS completed metric.
Hehe, I want to see the numbers, but I guess they could make this a setting. The continuous switching is not good when you have to keep an eye on the road.
I would also like to get rid of the continuous switching between time remaining, difficulty and focus power. At least on the bigger 1040/1050 you can show all the values at the same time.

Does Buckets Lite on the Dashboard do what you want?
That looks good. Is that what @hpbieker referred to above for the bigger 1040/1050? I just have a 530. No dashboard.
That’s Buckets Lite from the new Xert Dashboard which is currently in beta (v1.0) and available here –
Connect IQ Store | Watch Faces and Apps | Garmin
The 530 is supported.
I installed the Xert Dashboard and played with the settings, but I couldn’t find “Buckets Lite” or anything like it.
Buckets Lite is the nickname for the version of Buckets on the Xert Dashboard.
It’s the three XSS data fields (Low, High, Peak) below the rainbow gauge.
On a 530 you’ll have one row of definable fields below Buckets Lite.
On a 10xx series unit you’ll have two rows of definable fields.
Here’s a screenshot from Dave Brillhart’s post on FB –
Specs are subject to changes pending the official release. If you want to provide feedback I suggest posting to the FB group.
I believe this version is not released yet. At least my dashboard only shows the XSS completed, not the target.

In the middle row, I see XSS and Difficulty, and these are not configurable. On the bottom row, I also see XSS and Difficulty. These are individually configurable, but there are no choices for “buckets,”
Correct, this is an unreleased (beta) version of XDB. Not sure when these changes will be publicly available yet. Hopefully soon!
I guess I missed this because it was buried in a post about 1050.
Downloaded the new data field, loving it so far, you think there’s any way to color code the heart rate field based on heart rate zones?
Also, I’d probably find the time to exertion and recovery fields more important than the carb fields. I didn’t see that I have the option to choose them.
Also option for focus.
Ty as always
