Sending sensors data to PC

Hello,
I have a few questions about your product. Does Garmin (any product from their line) allows me connect to the device via ANT+ or bluetooth and send the data from sensors to PC. I want to create desktop application (for hall sports) where for example 5 people connect to the computer via bluetooth or ANT and the data from the sensors will be send to the computer.

So main questions are:
1. Am I able to get the sensors data from watches (or whatever product) to PC via bluetooth or ANT+.

2. Can I for example program some application which will run on the watches and it will be just for communication with the pc. What I mean is to create a custom application just for communication.

Thank you for any answer!

Did someone already solve the problem to send sensor data to a PC?

I could not installl the Event Hub App:

https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/b27ddfe5-e5f7-4754-94ce-ce3007fe49b9

since it does not work on any of my GARMIN watches. For the Event Hub App

- a new watch is needed

- a Microsoft Azure abo is needed

- and a software engineer is needed

Is there no easier solution to solve this problem?

If you are writing your own app and have questions, you're in the right place

If you are looking for someone to write an app for you, you should be posting in the app ideas forum

If you don't like how an app in the store works, the best source is to use "contact developer" for that app in the store.

Is there a reason not to have an open discussion about an app? I m interested in the EventHubApp, and I miss a discussion about this app.

None of my watches is compatible with the EventHubApp. Therefore I can t write a review in the Connect IQ store. But DaveDoesDemos has instructional videos about the EventHubApp. I started a new thread to discuss the EventHubApp:

Is it possible to send sensor data to PC via a livetracking service? For instance by building a new livetracking.io service from old components? I started a new thread, to discuss this subject:

«The infrastructure behind my project for example costs pennies to run»:

Prices to use the EventHubApp, are, if I got it right:

- Microsoft Azure starts at $13 a month

Are these pennies to run the EventHubApp correct?

"So again my main question is: Am I able to get the data from watch to PC via ANT+ or BLUETOOTH? I am able to program some simple app just for communication between the PC and Watch so I can get the data whenever I want (when they are in range of course)"

A possible solution to send sensor data from a GARMIN watch to a PC can be found here:

With a Moxymonitor ANT to Serial Converter:

and a C# Bridge to Dr. Scott Hardens Scott Plott and Dr. Scott Hardens Cookbook:

There would be a low-cost high quality solution to stream ANT+ sensor data to a PC. With other solutions, I failed to this date:
