USB Ant+ Stick & Fenix6, not connecting to Garmin Express

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi There,

I just got a Fenix 6 and also the Garmin USB ANT Stick. Are these 2 compatible ?

If I use with Zwift, my HR is broadcasted from the Fenix 6 to Zwift via the Ant Stick... so it does recognize it, but if I try to connect to Garmin Express.... Crickets, it won’t see the Ant Stick when trying to sync.

Anybody can help ?

Thanks

Ben

Latest Garmin watches use ANT+ for sensor connectivity only. Data transfer to/from Garmin Express is not supported.

Adding to tmk2´s answer, ... I bet the reason why data transfer (apps, music,...) between Garmin Express and Fenix isn´t supported, is the fact that the ANT+ data transfer speed is limited to 60kbit/s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANT_(network)
