Garmin watches
StemNotes Fuel on your watch: the countdown, a full-page view and a buzz at each feed.
A Connect IQ data field that shows your next feed: the countdown, the grams of carbohydrate and what to eat. Once the plan is on your watch it runs offline, so a dead phone halfway round doesn't matter.
Linking a Garmin needs StemNotes Pro. The 14-day trial covers it.
Set it up
Install StemNotes Fuel from the Connect IQ store.
Add it to a screen in your Bike activity. For the full page, give it a one-field screen of its own.
Open that screen. The field shows a 6-character code.
In the app, go to Settings › Connected accounts › Garmin watch and enter the code.
If you type a watch code into the Edge screen, or the other way round, the app links it under the right device and tells you.
What you see
With a one-field screen you get the full page: time to your next feed in large numbers, then the grams, what to eat and which feed it is ("2× 20Gel · 2/6"). Underneath sit your power target for this part of the session, on watches that read power, and your elapsed time. In a screen with more fields you get the small countdown.
On round watches the ring round the edge fills from the last feed to the next. It turns grey while your timer is paused and fills completely when a feed is due.
Alerts
Set these in the app under Settings › Connected accounts › Garmin watch.
| Setting | Starts | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Full-screen alert | On | Covers whatever screen you're on when it's time to eat. |
| Vibrate | On | Two short buzzes and a long one at each feed. |
| Beep | Off | A tone at each feed. Your watch's alert tones must be on too. |
| Progress ring | On | Fills from the last feed to the next on round watches. |
Turn on Beep
In the app, turn on Beep under Settings › Connected accounts › Garmin watch.
On the watch, check alert tones are on. On most watches: Settings › System › Sound and Vibration › Alert Tones.
Beep only works on watches that can play tones. Changes reach your watch with the next plan sync.
