Is it possible to BLE advertise packet from Garmin to other devices ?

Hello,

I would like my Garmin watch to broadcast data (like HR, custom data, etc...) as a BLE advertiser. Is it possible to do ?

The context is broadcasting data to a smartphone but without having to establish the connection just broadcast as a service data. The smartphone should be able to scan the advertised data from the Garmin Watch

Thanks,

With CIQ, the Garmin can't do advertisements. It can look for other devices that are advertising by starting a scan.

Have you watched the breakout from when BLE was announced a few years ago?
