[feature suggest] Add support for displaying calories #7

Closed xantho closed 2 years ago

xantho commented 4 years ago

I would love to see my calories on the watch face.

jdhartley commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the feature suggestion @xantho!

Do you have a suggestion on how to format the information? I would love to hear your ideal display.

Perhaps something like,

[KCAL] 100 Cal (5%)
[KCAL] 2500 Cal (125%)
xantho commented 4 years ago

Mmh... I thought the units (same with "steps") are not needed when the initial [...] is chosen right. But I really like the percentage display. So maybe something like:

[CALS] 100 (5%) [CALS] 2500 (125%)

That's kind of what the tracker displays right now in the daily activity feed. Maybe the percentage and the lack of displaying "unnecessary" units would look good on the other display lines as well.

EDIT: Maybe something like [CALS] 2500 cal (125%) does make the most sense because it integrates better with all the lines. There are to many which have units that some without would look stupid. But I still would like to see percentages on other properties like steps a.s.o.

I discovered the face last night and came here to request the same since it's a really nice watchface but cals are kind of basic!

For me a mix of the two proposals would be the best: [KCAL] 3000 (100%)

No need to repeat the unit, but at the same time the unit is Kcal, not simply Cal.

xantho commented 4 years ago

If you look at the Fitbit "Today" interface there is only the description "calories" so [CALS] is not entirely wrong. On the other side it would be ok for me to see a row like you suggested because you are right it is essentially [KCAL].

exolon commented 4 years ago

You are right, and Fitbit is, of course, wrong :D

jdhartley commented 4 years ago

It's my understanding that 1 kilocalorie/kcal === 1 Calorie (upper C) === 1000 calories (lower c)

So we could do any of these:

  1. [KCAL] 1000 kcal (43%)
  2. [CALS] 1000 Cal (43%)
  3. some mix of KCAL/CALS + kcal/Cal

My preference would be on 2. above, it matches Fitbit's vernacular

xantho commented 4 years ago

I agree. Second one is pretty good.

Last night I saw your comment and I was going to reply that "I never saw a measurement unit changing its initial to denote 1000! Are you nuts?" :D

But then I seemed to recall something - indeed there's the large or big Calorie or whatever they call it, which is kcal indeed. It's stupid, but not as stupid as it seems at first - it's actually a different unit definition; whereas cal is energy/ml, Cal is energy/l, so it's x1000, ergo kcal...

That said, #2 looks pretty cool :D

Just jumping in with my opinion. Great clock face, thank you so much! #2 is good! Really want this feature [^_^]/

blackshroud commented 4 years ago

Agree with above! Would love to have this on watch face

Great work mate!
