I found a possible fix this morning. If it pans out through testing and doesn't cause any other issues I should have a new version out within the next day or two.

Excellent. I hope it will work. :)

Excellent. I hope it will work. :)

Bad news I'm afraid.

I have a couple of times managed to get it to work a second time, before reboot. But never a third. I have written a trivial tester app, which has the same issue. I have also tested other HR apps from the app store, and have the same issue. I haven't always had this issue, so I think it's related to the update to 6.5. I'll be discussing this with Garmin. I'll keep you updated as I hear anything.

Same issue on Fenix 3 with FW6.80. HRM is connected but this app doesn't see it. If I restart F3, it works but only once. Second measurement is not possible because Cardiometr doesn't see HRM.
I've tried another app for minimum HR and it doesn't work either.

Feature request.

Hi,

I've been using this in the gym for a while now. Would it be possible to add a fourth field to the display to include a stopwatch or timer? (Or a configurable option of the user's choice). That would make your widget/app even better for me.

Thanks for your efforts

@KeepTriin - I'm not sure about adding extra bits to the app, such as a stopwatch, and a configurable field is definitely somewhere I don't want to take it. I prefer to keep new features centred around the core min/max HR function. Is it the min, the max, or both which you are interested in? I could create a separate custom field app which has this and can be added to a standard activity data screen.

Great!

This app is really great.

Something like this should be stock on any device like this.

I like the 3 window setup. I would suggest the possibility of a 4th window - and the 4th window showing the average since it has been started until you stop.

An example would be to start it when I go to bed, then stop when I wake up and i can see my overnight average right on the screen along with the min/max and current :) Then I'd know if I had some freaky nightmares :O

With this app, I can now think of many more uses for my Vivoactive.

Thanks for your work!

Great App. Date Plus Timestamp Would be a Great Addition

This app is great for RHR. I would suggest a timestamp for both min and max. A small time of day at the bottom of the screen would make this app the only App I would use.
