Intensity Minutes with imported activities

WD over 2 years ago

I wanted to see if this was an issue anyone else may have questioned, or knowledge of.

When I perform an activity, I thought all time on that activity counted towards Intensity Minutes. Can someone confirm?

When I import an activity, like biking with TrainerRoad, I noticed this AM that my 60 minute ride only counted 51 minutes TOTAL towards Intensity Minutes.

Does anyone have an understanding of this? Thought I would ask before I opened a ticket with support.

Thanks!

That's wrong. Read how it works here: How Does the Intensity Minutes Feature Work? | Garmin Customer Support

I row using a rowing machine Concept2 with the ErgData app and a Polar H10 chest monitor. I have the Concept2 log synced with Garmin account so the activity shows up in Garmin Connect. With high heart rate for 30 minutes. But not the intensity minutes. Not sure why not.

I recommend reading the previously mentioned document. It explains it all. IMs are being calculated in the real-time by the watch. Imported activities do not count.

Thanks Trux. Best explanation by far.
