  • Goal suggested from your weight (33 ml per kg, a rule of thumb, not medical advice), or set your own
  • Custom amount, undo last entry, ml or oz (follows device units)
  • 7 day bar chart, glance shows today's total without opening the app
  • Touch-only watches: tap top/bottom half, corner icon opens the menu

How to use it

Installation

In the Connect IQ app on your phone (or Garmin Connect, then the Connect IQ Store) find "Hydration Log" by Dialforge, tap Install and sync the watch. Find it in your glances (UP or DOWN on the watch face, or swipe) and press START or tap to open it.

First launch

You see 0 ml, an empty ring and "UP cup / DOWN bottle". The goal is 33 ml per kg of your Garmin profile weight (rounded to 50), or 2000 ml with no weight. A cup is 250 ml, a bottle 500 ml. The 30-day free beta starts the first time you open it.

Controls

Watches with buttons (START, UP, DOWN, BACK)

  • Main screen: UP adds a cup, DOWN a bottle ("Added" flashes). START or holding UP opens the menu: History (7 days), Custom amount, Undo last, Daily goal, Cup size, Bottle size, Units.
  • Undo last removes today's last entry, or says "Nothing to undo".
  • Number screens: UP more, DOWN less, START confirms, BACK cancels.
  • History: BACK or START returns.

Touch watches (tap, hold, swipe)

  • Watches without UP and DOWN: upper half is a cup, lower half a bottle. The "=" icon in the corner opens the menu on any touch watch.
  • Number screens: upper half more, middle less, bottom strip confirms. History: tap to go back. Swipe right also goes back.

Settings

Phone: Connect IQ app, Hydration Log, Settings (the unlock code fields are there too).

On the watch, inside the app:

  • Custom amount: 0 to 3000 ml in steps of 50, starts at the cup size, logged at once.
  • Daily goal: 250 to 6000 ml in steps of 50.
  • Cup size: 25 to 2000 ml, step 25. Bottle size: 50 to 3000 ml, step 50.
  • Units: Millilitres (ml) or Ounces (oz), by default the watch's units.

License

  • Free beta: 30 days from the first launch, everything works.
  • Price: 4.99 EUR once at dialforge.dev, no subscription. The 8-character code is tied to your watch's UID.
  • Where to enter it: phone, Connect IQ app, Hydration Log, Settings. Read the UID in "Watch UID (needed to buy a code)", buy the code, then type it into "Unlock code from dialforge.dev". The end-of-beta screen on the watch shows the UID too.
  • After the beta without a code: an end-of-beta screen with the UID replaces the app. Enter the code, then open it again. New watch? Write to us and the code moves for free.

Privacy and permissions

Permissions:

  • User profile: reads your weight to suggest the daily goal. Nothing leaves the watch.

No internet use. Data stays on the watch.

Health note: not a medical device, no diagnosis or treatment, no substitute for a doctor. Medical decisions belong to your doctor or pharmacist.

Troubleshooting

The code does not work. Check that the UID you bought for matches "Watch UID (needed to buy a code)" and type all 8 characters (case is ignored, no 0, O, 1 or I). A code for another app does not fit. Sync, then reopen.

Where does the goal come from? From your weight in the Garmin profile, 33 ml per kg, a rule of thumb. Once you set a goal, it stays.

The total dropped to 0. Each day has its own total. Yesterday stays in the 7 day history.

How do I fix a wrong entry? Menu, Undo last, one entry at a time.
