I updated, tried different things and ...
it works again ! There was a problem with the recorder app. I kept my settings and asked the run app not to record and it worked. So I switched the recording back on and deleted all previous tracks. It was supposed to record on track 0, and the run app didn't work (still no live data). So I moved to record on track 1 and it works again... Something strange with track 0.

I use run v0.06 and the firmware was 2v12.27 I think. I didn't try it again since then.
The boxes are
box1:time box2:distance
box3:speed box4: bpm.
The gps turns green, as well as the run item when I start it with the side button. The bpm starts and then freezes, nothing else moves until I hit the stop button and then I can see time and distance.
I use French to have kms also.
But all this used to work in a previous setup...

Am I the only one to have this issue with this app ??
btw, bthrm works better with the new version (but still takes time before the first connexion occurs (10 seconds)).

@HughB the names of the segments were already very similar to what you suggested. I modified them adding .txt. They're attached to this message. If it doesn't work so, then I'll try to PM you.

@HughB The .SVG is a version of the image made with vectors, the image can be very small or the size can be increased a hundred times, there's no quality loss.
From the SVG I made the segment as a .png. It should be the good size, but I must say it looks dirty-crappy. Maybe once on the small screen of the B2 it will be ok.

It's a week or so I'm having issues with the run app. The app doesn't show live data, it displays data only when I click the button to stop it. I have 4 boxes: distance, time, bpm and speed. The only one I have is bpm. Ah, it doesn't belong here but I also have problems with the bthrm.

Thanks for all the explanations, now I understand what and why.
So you actually need only one segment in 2 colors. I saved it as a .png and increased the size, just to show you what it is.
In the .svg you'll find the bits and pieces you need at the good size in pixels. I don't know how you're going to use it after, you may want to cut and paste it in a new document in inkscape.

Here it is. That was actually much quicker to draw than the previous drawing. I used 6 degrees segments. Feel free to use it, consider it's CC0.
I did it in Inkscape and "grouped" some elements to make it easier to manipulate. Use ctr+shift+d to ungroup, ctrl+d to group.
If it's drawing, I probably can contribute and I'm happy to, because I can't contribute with code.

So it took me much longer than I expected, but here it is, I made a gauge with a different design as .svg. Because it's drawings in inkscape and not code, I made it in a way that looks nice to me. It's not circular on purpose, I've troncated a disc with a spiral. I used the 5% increment that you suggested and filled with random colours just to show what it looks like. I've also cut the bottom of the gauge like in the circle.
@HughB Because it's all vectors, the size can be adjusted very easily without any quality loss.

I'll probably spend a bit of time drawing one next week and post it here, just in case it may come handy to one of you. Any preference about how it should look like ?

Thanks for the hint. It looks like this app can do the trick.

@myownself @HughB I can draw you nice looking gauges in inkscape in .svg format, but it seems that myownself can code it. Do I understand right that it would much better if coded ?

It looks almost perfect now. Just a glitch: it looks like "11 février 202" And I don't have the last number for the year, but that's something I can usually figure out :).

Ah, I confirm the HRM WORKOUT app that does the buzzing when upper or lower hr limit is reached doesn't work in the background.

Ah, I might be able to help @myxor with Inkscape if you tell me what you want. Attached, a gauge as .png and .svg

I tried to check and confirm in Github, but I'm new to github. After a short while I understood that Gordon has been faster and the change has been checked and already merged !

Thanks for the link at @myxor . I didn't see anything that looked wrong there. I attached what I attached a pic where we can see I have the day twice.

In search of lost time has been solved for me !!
I update to the edge firmware each time there's a new one. The updating process takes around 3-4 minutes and the clock seems not to be ticking during this while, resulting in a delay just after the update.

@HughB I do like to have my actual heart zones while I run. I can have it on the Garmin and that's nice. It's the third of the 3 things I miss on the bangle.js (the 2 others being reading at the end of the run my average HR and average speed, but I have good hope for these 2 to be integrated in not too long).
It's difficult to know one's max HR, and yes, the usual formula is imprecise, to say the least. Zones are calculated depending on max HR, and come with different ways to be calculated bringing even more variations in the results. I do agree HughB, they're actually badly subjective. Still, beginners, top elite runners and trainers worlwide use this reference. "Run zones" in youtube shows the widespread of its use.
I think it could be estimated from max HR or another calculation method and then leave the possibility for users to tweak it. I will do a bit of research on different calculations techniques and give feedbacks later, if deemed useful.
If we use a different exhaustion metrics for runners, like Lactate Threshold or threshold training, we'll need to integrate some machine learning into it, which seems way more complicated.

At the moment I think simple heart rate upper / lower warning levels would be a simple way to do this on the fly at the moment.

Actually yes. But last time I tried it, the app didn't give me any vibrating feedback during the run and I just gave up using it. I'll try it again.

Where can I modify the translations ? In French, below the time clock I have the day of the week, date and month (too much infos, it doesn't fit well), the line below I have the day of the week again.

I also have an issue with time. I had to add something like 10 minutes a few days ago.
To make a fair test, I've set the time at midnight and 10 minutes according to real precise world time. I'll give you more news about it by the end of the day.

Ok, thanks @myownself !

• What about the settings in the recorder app ? I log gps every 5 seconds, more, less ? I suppose I log hr, bthr and steps, something else ?
  
• in the bthr app, I use the settings:
  Use BT HRM: ON
  Replace HRM:off
  Is that fine ? I suppose other settings don't matter.
  

I'm happy to contribute with running data. I have an arm bthrm. For those like me who'd like to contribute can you specify which settings are ideal to get consistent data to help ?
How do you want the watch to be worn ? Like tight, slightly loose, like everyday ?
Which settings in bthrm and apps ? Which file do you then want: csv, gpx, kml, all of them ?
Something else ? Like informations on the kind of surface ?

As @Mi said there are other models that work pretty well.
I waited for the new model to come (polar verity sense) to buy 2nd hand the previous model. I bought it on leboncoin.fr a French website like craig's list.
Was able to find one for 50 euros 1 year ago. There's a test video

on youtube that convinced me to get this model.

Nice job @halemmerich ! You're super quick !
The BTHRM is a very important complement to the job done in the run and recorder app right now.
