Pedal Stroke in garmin connect

Not sure for the stroke index (in fact I do not know what it is - watts per stroke, perhaps?), but for the pedal strokes you could enable the Bike Cadence:

If you really need to see the stroke index, you may need to search for a suitable Connect IQ app.

Thanks

What is pedal stroke index? I thought you were talking about cadence, but that is logged and presented in your activity.

What is the data field called in your watch? Is it installed from Connect IQ? I looked in my FR945 and couldn't find any data field called "pedal stroke index".

I found something called "Kurtotic Index" which is how “punchy or smooth” your pedaling stroke is and the higher the number the more “punchy” your stroke. Source

On fenix the field in italian is "uniformità di pedalata", in english pedal stroke and there is also an article here about the analysis of pedal stroke:

I don't installed anything from IQ and i isn't cadence.

I cannot find anything about "stroke index" in that article. It only speaks about the L/R balance, and that graph is already visible in your activity details:

Is this similar to the activity summary information shown on your fenix 6 for the activity you recorded on your Edge 820?

I think the English translation of 'uniformità di pedalata' is 'Pedal Smoothness'. (Literal translation would be something like 'uniformity of pedaling'.)

What power meter do you use? The document "What Is Pedal Smoothness and How It Is Calculated by Garmin Power Meter Pedals? | Garmin Customer Support" states this:

The Pedal Smoothness metric is calculated on dual sided Rally and Vector Power Meter Pedals

It also tells: 

NOTE: Vector 3 systems will only display Pedal Smoothness when transmitting via ANT+.  Pedal Smoothness data will not be displayed when pedals are transmitting via BLE. 

 And then also this:

Compatible head units when running the latest available software can display Pedal Smoothness by enabling the feature following these steps:

1. Navigate to your sensors details page and select your connected Rally or Vector Power Meter

2. Select Sensor Details

3. Select Cycling Dynamics

4. Toggle Torque Effect. Pedal Smooth. to the on position

Sorry I forgot to add that bit.

The 'power meter' for the activity was a Tacx NEO 2T being controlled through ANT+ FE-C by my Edge 1030 Plus using Follow a Course. The screen shots are from the Physio TrueUp summary on my fenix 6X Pro.

What I was hoping to establish with the screen shots is if Pedal Smoothness is what the OP is translating as Pedal Stroke.

According to the marketing BS for the Tacx NEO 2T it should in theory support Cycling Dynamics over ANT+ and Bluetooth for all recording devices but the firmware has never been updated to support the claim. In reality it is only supported by the Tacx Desktop app on Windows and only on-the-fly there and not recorded.

If there is no such setting for your power meter as shown in the document, then the pedal smoothness could be still recorded with a Connect IQ app. Check out the CIQ store, perhaps one of the apps will work for you:

Connect IQ Store | Free Watch Faces and Apps | Garmin

There is a setting for Cycling Dynamics in the power meter settings but it doesn't actually work. This is a long standing know issue that can only be fixed by a firmware update to the Tacx NEO 2T.

The Edge 1030 Plus records L/R Balance and Pedal Smoothness from the discrete 'power meter' of the Tacx NEO 2T but none of the other metrics such as Torque Effectiveness (TE), Power Phase (PP), Platform Center Offset (PCO).
