Application .. HR Always

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago
Now available in the Garmin Store .. HR Always

https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/8...e-8ba8d55a5978

Now Available in HR Always .. Time in Zone data on Summary Screen. User setting in Garmin Connect Mobile or Garmin Express.

*** For the Vivoactive HR ***

HR Always has been tested with VivoactiveHR firmware versions 2.60, 2.65 beta, 2.71 beta, 2.74 beta, 2.80, 2.90, 3.30 ... 3.90

For those that want it all the time. Yes .. HR and Zone data and a summary. At least while you have the application running. It will use Optical Heart Rate .. as well as accept an Ant+ HR chest strap if desired.

But beware .. your battery may not love that green light, so you get a battery gauge as well. But I do not expect you to leave it on that long.

So .. enjoy knowing it all. Thank you
VivoactiveHRGuy

    HR zones data from UserProfile

    Could you please take all the HR zones data from the UserProfile? It would be much smarter than the hardcoded calculation from the inserted max HR.
    HR zones: https://developer.garmin.com/downloads/connect-iq/monkey-c/doc/Toybox/UserProfile.html#getHeartRateZones-instance_method
    Rest HR: https://developer.garmin.com/downloads/connect-iq/monkey-c/doc/Toybox/UserProfile/Profile.html#restingHeartRate-instance_method
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    No .. definitely not, particularly the RHR. That does not work for me personally and HR Always uses the industry standard zones for Zones 1-5.
  • over 8 years ago
    That's a pity, especially about the HR zones. RHR isn't important but the hard-coded calculation of the training zones can be very inaccurate because HR zones vary on the personal training level of each person. There are even more calculation methods available with pretty significant differences in the each zone values. Please consider taking these values from the user profile so the application will take into account each user personal zones and preferences. The application is really great otherwise, thanks a lot for it, good job.

    Ok .. I will consider it. I did make a tiny concession today .. you do not have to enter in the maximum HR value anymore. It is pulled from the profile.

    Re the RHR ... well it is not really a RHR thing, but more of an Optical Heart Rate error handler. It will not allow the Vivoactive HR to go below a set value.

    For example .. my RHR is 37 and I have seen my VAHR hit 25 if left to its own (the default is 0 and all readings are accepted if you choose not to use this feature). Well .. 25 would be a new world record btw, so I added that in to make the Vivoactive HR behave and not go below a certain number. My RHR from Garmin does not always agree with my true RHR .. thus I have little desire to add that in at all because yes my minimum HR value will change from day to day and I just do not want to use the Garmin way at all. I use a Beddit sleep tracker .. that is much more accurate for my HR values at night, when my HR will be at its lowest. This is the number that I trust. I know some people will say that your RHR is not while you are sleeping, but sorry .. while I am awake, it could be all over the map and only during sleep am I truly at rest.

    My only concern is that the Garmin numbers overlap, something that HR Always will not allow. So I will change the Garmin numbers.
    My zones are below, and as you can see and as I have seen, some numbers are used in 2 zones. That cannot happen .. so if I do use your profile zone data, I will be forced to alter it.
