Hrm strap

Hello,
i am interested in buying the hrm tri because of triathlon but my training activities for open water is on the swimming pool.i read that i cant use it because of the non chlorine resistance.i know i can buy the the hrm swim but both straps is too much expensive.Is there any solution?or have you to suggest me another strap for triathlon activities including the swimming pool??
  • The calories shown on the summary screen and for the activity is active + resting.

    The calories shown on the calorie widget is the active and resting split.

    Is that what you are asking?

    Before i save the activity i checked data screen on thw watch and the calories was 380..after i saved the activity and stored the HR from the zone the calories changed to 271..the 380 is the activity+rest while i was swimming and the 271 calories is only the activity?
  • Right, the 380 is the number of calories burned during the time of the activity.

    That will be a certain number of active calories, and the rest calories for that time period. So perhaps 271 active calories, and 109 rest calories.

    So when you look at the widget it will add the 271 active calories to the active total, and 109 to the rest total.

    The 271 is what you burnt extra doing the swimming.

    The 109 is what you would have burnt during that time anyway.

    Which gives a total calorie during the activity time of 380.

    Does that sound correct?

    Yes,that sounds correct but this hapoened only at swimming pool activity and garmin should show both burnt calories like apple watch.thats why i am asking why that happened ????
  • Are you asking why the watch, in the activity summary on the watch, doesn’t show the active calories? If so, I agree it’d be nice if it showed active calories there.

    yes it would be nice because this happens only on swimming pool activity..all the other activities with the hrm tri like running,cycling etc it shows me the full amount of calories
  • Sbassios regarding using the HRM-Tri in the pool - I would be wary as I'm not sure how well it will withstand repeated chlorine exposure - to minimise the impact I would soak it in water after the swim then dry it. I've found even with the HRM-Swim that the elasticated fabric parts of the HRM start to break down whilst the Blue parts are a sgood as new

    yesterday i tried for 1st time and i will not use it again because of this reason...after my training i washed the hrm with hair shampoo!!
  • I am using the auto pause on cycling when i am not moving and the calorie counter also pauses while i am using the hrm tri...is this ok?
