Good day to all,
I have Garmin Instinct, but lately I added also Wahoo Elemnt Bolt to my cycling setup. I use Instinct as my heart rate sensor, broadcasting to Bolt my HR data. This works well. My Wahoo data is automatically uploaded to Strava, but I need to manually upload the FIT file to Garmin Connect since Garmin and Wahoo do not like each other (and hold their consumers as hostages for that matter which sucks). So this works as well under these circumstances. And now to my problem... The data in Strava is correct, showing the same values for my HR zones as my Bolt does. But in Garmin Connect there are several issues:
1. Connect shows only 4 of 5 zones, ignoring Z1 and showing only Z2-Z5, but even this is not correct, because it shifts them, showing Z2 as Z1, Z3 as Z2 etc.
2. Connect in my Android app does not show any values beside the HR zone bars in the graph, only the bars, no time or percentage in zones.
Since Wahoo and Strava both show correct values, but Connect does not, I take it that the problem may be with Connect rather than the data (to Strava it makes sence, but to Connect it does not?).
My HR zones are set in all three apps equaly, meaning that in Strava, Wahoo and Garmin I have the same HR zones limits.
So, thats that. I can live with it, I will just check my HR zones data in Strava or Wahoo, but still, I would prefer to have the same data in all three, just because it seems to me that it should be the same. It seems to me as a bug in Garmin Connect messing up the zones, but it may as well be the problem with Wahoo FIT file data. Can anyone using Wahoo and Garmin Connect confirm this behavior and possibly offer a solution? Please, just don't suggest not using Garmin or Wahoo or similar wise guy comments :)
Also, would it be too much to ask the competing companies to offer to their paying customers full service to use their products with full potential? Not offering the dirrect auto upload between Garmin and Wahoo is so immature...
