Feature request: Calculate intensity minutes from offline HRM-TRI data

I wear an HRM-TRI during martial arts practice. Due to safety considerations I can't wear the wristwatch, but the chest strap is fine. So I start an activity, take off the watch, and continue with my workout. This works great for tracking heart rate and syncing up with the activity afterwards, but the data from the HRM-TRI does not count towards intensity minutes.

For example, today my workout had a Training Effect of 3.5 Aerobic, and 3.2 Anaerobic, and I exceeded what I thought was my max HR, but yet I have zero intensity minutes for the day.

Can't you keep the watch close by so the data is still received directly by the watch?

I have/had the same issue with Football games. can you please check wether you get recovery time or Training load for this activity.

In my case I do got a Training effect and a recovery time but I do not got Training load or intensity minutes.

then I got this advice in the forum:

I often Forget to do so but Maybe you should just give it a try

Unfortunately I can't. There's a locker room but too far to maintain connection and I would worry about theft just leaving my watch sitting on the ground somewhere nearby.

I definitely get Training Effect. I'm 95% sure it gives me updated Recovery Time. I'm honestly not sure about Training Load, since that's based on 7 days of cumulative activity and I do a mix of running and other activities.

Thanks for the suggestion about re-connecting before ending the activity. I will give it a shot and report back if it helps.

I second this request. I think this is why swimming with HR Swim or Tri does not count toward intensity minutes.
