watch heartrate - edge - phone livetrack not possible?

Michel 4 months ago

I want to use the heartrate of my watch on the edge and I need livetrack connected to my phone. But everytime my phone,when opening Connect, connects to my watch which sends out the heartrate. Even if I have the phone connection switched of on my watch. I get the Connect is unavailable on this mobile device during a virtual activity on my phone. How can I get this going and or prevent my watch, that sends the heartrate, connecting to my Phone when opening Connect. It needs to be connected to the edge only.

Normally, all you need to do is starting HR Broadcasting on the watch, pairing it with Edge and that's it. Start the activity on Edge, not on the watch. Whether the phone is on or not, or Garmin Connect open or closed, does not matter.

It doesn't work. If I connect the edge and the phone first and second the watch and the edge or the other way around. As soon as I start sending the heartrate of the watch to the edge, Garmin connect on the phone says Connect is unavailable on this mobile device during a virtual activity. And my watch is connected to my phone also.

Just found a solution or one situation in which I don't get the "Connect is unavailable on this mobile device during a virtual activity". I have to turn on the phone connection on my watch before I start sending the heartrate on my watch.
