Calculate % based on age and display %

Description

Calculate % based on age (maybe from gadgetbridge) and display % Training with bpm is many times done with zones based on %. One basic calculation of of is %=bpm/(220-age)*100 Would require rework on font size to make space.

I think BPM is a much more neutral way of reporting heart rate. Is there a specific reason you are interested in displaying HR as a %? Is this something other smartwatches do?

Some sports training is done by hearth rate zones (defined as %). Displaying that would be useful for those wishing to use it for formal exercise. For example: https://www.polar.com/blog/running-heart-rate-zones-basics/

I don't think that with the mediocre PPG sensor of the pinetime it will be possible to get an accurate HR reading during sports.
