Vivofit and Heart Rate Monitor won't sync to the 'Heart Rate' Widget in Garmin Connec

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hey guys,
I just got my vivofit with a Heart Rate Monitor this week. Excuse me if this question has already been answered. I spent an hour googling for a solution.
Anyways, my heart rate monitor DOES pair with my vivofit. My question is about the Heart Rate widget on the Garmin Connect webpage. The Heart Rate widget says 'None of your current devices support this feature. Add a new device using Garmin Express.' Is the Heart Rate widget meant for my vivofit with the HRM, or is it for a function for another Garmin device (ie. Vivosmart) that my vivofit doesn't support?
My heart rate statistics DOES show up (sync) in the 'ACTIVITIES' widget. I was wondering if my vivofit and HRM is also supposed to sync with the 'Heart Rate' widget. Is the 'Heart Rate' widget on the Garmin Connect webpage meant for another Garmin device?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Matt,

I know you pain. You need to go through a few simple steps.

- In Garmin Express, select Settings
- Under Settings, Display Options, in the 'Default' list and the 'When Timer is On" list, select Heart Rate, then at the bottom press Save.

Now Sync your Vivofit, after which you can toggle through to HEART, and you can display your heart rate in real time.

(note: you may need to re-pair your heart rate monitor to your Vivofit, for which you need to be 30 or more feet from another Ant device.)

I hope these steps are clear and work for you as they did for me just yesterday.

Best regards,

Jeff
