Show sensor used by data on each activity metric

mstraa

Hi,

I would like to know where each metric come from.

I run with my 945 and I have HRM-run and Stryd (power sensor).

It would be amazing if for each graph/metric there was a little tooltip with the sensor used for this data.

Thanks !

    I was just about to ask for this. In my case, I own two chest-strap HRMs plus there’s the photoplasmographic sensor in my fēnix. They each produce different results - significant between the electrical and optical sensors. It would be so great to not have to dissect the raw data file for each activity to remember which sensor was active for each activity. A boundary case exists, too: if a chest strap loses connectivity during an activity.. I think Garmin will fall back to the watch’s optical sensor… so more than one HRM sensor may be involved in one activity. That’s actually the case I need this feature for… to know if a spike in my average HR was due to a change in sensors mid-course.

    Yes, indeed, it is that case, and you can actually see it very easily in Garmin Connect. See the example below. I just did a short dummy activity and removed the strap at ~4:00. It took 10s to fall back to the OHR, while keeping the last HR value from the HRM strap for those 10s. However, all the Running Dynamics (RD) and Running Power data dropped instantly to zero, hence you can very well see that the HRM was disconnected at that moment. It took 2 minutes to the watch to fall back to the internal accelerometer for the cadence, but all the remaining RD and respiratory data, depending on the HRM stayed at zero till the end (I did not reconnect the strap).
