New 'sparkly' Clock Face

[GraceX660]

Hi everyone!

I have the Charge 2 and have set the new 'sparkly' clock face. It shows the time in large numbers and in the background are sparkling dots, sometimes a few, sometimes alot. I have had it for a few days now and can't work out why the dots increase/decrease!

Might just be random but seems to be more sparkly the higher my heartrate is... any one know?

I'll switch over and see if I can tell, it is callers Sparkle Motion. 

My thoughts, it might be heart rate but I think it has a better.chance of being your recent activity level. 

Let's ask @Julia_G or @WendyB?

I switched over and will report back later.

I think its the heart rate also. As it was very active this morning. Now that I'm done with what I do it the morning its not active.

I thought there was a thread out there that said what it was but could not find it.

@GraceX660  I did a little experimenting with my activity and I have come to believe that it is related to recent activity as @Rich_Laue suggested.  Yes, heart rate is tied to activity -- BUT -- this is one of the things that I did.  I had the app open and began jogging.  In a few minutes, my HR went from 44 to 100.  I looked at the clock face several times and the number of sparkles stayed the same and the sparkle rate stayed the same.

Later, with a real workout, I had a full screen of sparkles, but I also had been exercising longer.  I still had a full screen of sparkles more than 25 minutes after the end of the workout.  My heart rate had returned to my resting HR for some time, but I still had the full screen.

For anybody who has or used to use a Fitbit One, this is the similar to the flower that would change size with activity level.

Aha! We have a true detective among us @LZeeW

My Charge 2 had gone dead and lost the chatget.  Replaement came yesterday so I'm going to try this also.

Thank you everyone!

It seems to be related to movement as when I am sat at my work desk for a while there are no dots at all but when I have been walking on my break or when I am at the gym it starts really sparkling.

It is certainly a lovely face whatever it means haha.

I’ve had this watch face for a few days too and it’s all about how many steps you’re getting. If you’re getting lots of steps, the dots increase, but if you’re still they go down. It’s not heart rate, but it does correlate because the more you step the more you exercise and the more your heart rate increases.

Hope this helps.
