Intensity Minutes not including the last two activities

Paolo
over 2 years ago

Hi,

what could cause Intensity Minutes to not be added for activities?

The last cycling activity on Sunday added 165 minutes to my total. Yesterday and today I recorded two cycling activities of similar duration and intensity, however I cannot see any intensity minutes being added which is very strange. 

I use an Instinct 2, but the cycling activity was recorded with an Edge 530 and accompanying cycling sensors including HR band.

Thanks

Paolo

    Edge 530 does not support the feature of Intensity Minutes. You have to wear your watch to have them counted.

    That's a good shout, thanks! In fact I always wear the watch, but indeed checking the HR data is way off than the one registered in the activity (which came from the HR band linked to the 530). Perhaps I was wearing it too lose compared to Sunday. 

    It would be cool if the data could be "merged" by Garmin - or maybe I could pair the HR band with the Instinct 2 - but then how can I see the HR realtime during the activity on the 530?

    Yes, you can pair your instinct 2 with the HRM strap (most HRM straps can connect simultaneously to several devices), but you then also have to start an activity on the watch, in order to have the HRM strap used. You do not need saving the activity on the watch at the end, though. You can discard it instead, in order to avoid the duplicate.
