Activity minutes

I recently discovered that when I work out using only my Fenix6X f.ex when I do indoor biking GC shows activity minutes, and my work out heart rate shows in daily summary.

But if I do outdoor biking using my Edge 1030 there is NO activity minutes at all, and my work out heart rate is not shown in daily summary.

I am pretty shure this started with an update of GC august 22. Before that I see that everything was fine. Take a look at the pictures. Anybody else having similar experience?

Both Fenix 6 and Edge 1030 records activity as normal, and I get my training status perfect synced between the two units. BUT no activity minutes from 1030. Strange!

The 1030 doesn't record activity minutes. Only certain wearables do.

Well it did until August 21. As you can see on the Pictures.

No, it never did. See forums.garmin.com/.../900836

I suspect you're seeing activity minutes tracked by your Fenix using the optical heart rate monitor.

My Vivoactive 3 did this also ... when I was riding and tracking the ride on my 1030, even though I didn't have an activity running on the watch, it picked up the fact that I was exerting myself and tracked the minutes.

So how can it be that EVERY outdoor bike ride I have had before August 21 is recorded? And how can OHR on my watch read my pulse when mounted on bike bracket? (as I sometimes do)

I dont mean that 1030 is actually calculating activity minutes, but gc ignore pulse recorded on 1030. It is there when I check my activity summary, but earlier that pulse variation during activity was used to calculate activity minutes. I see back in my activity history that every ride generated activity minutes.

Last but not least, when I do indoor biking I always get Activity minutes calculatet after Activity. I only use my fenix then, but mounted on the bike like a bike computer using garmin rubber bracket. Not using OHR. I use HRM-TRI on both indoor and outdoor biking.
