BSX Insight support

I tried to use the BSX insight sensor XR2 with the FENIX 5X f(v4.10) on a run but I got no data SMO2.

I have paired with success the two devices.

Here is the answer I got from BSX Insight :

"Thank you for writing to me at BSX Technologies! I am happy to assist you with your inquires. There is not an issue with your devices. The Fenix 5 does not include a start and stop feature at this time. You will need to start and stop your BSXinsight from the BSXinsight mobile app.

Your Garmin Fenix 5X does allow you native viewing of your SmO2 and tHb from the watch without any updates. Your BSXinsight will create a Garmin FIT file once you dock and sync. At this time Garmin does not accept the file."

Thus it could be nice from Garmin to achieve the integration of the BSX insight with the Fenix 5X :

Start/stop function
SMO2 data recording on Fenix 5X /Garmin Connect

Thanks,

I use a Moxy rather than BSX but I think it works the same with Garmin.
The watch /does/ record the SmO2 - and you can display it live on the watch. It's there in the .fit file - and you can display it using something like Golden Cheetah. Unfortunately, Garmin Connect for some reason will only display SmO2 recorded with the ConnectIQ app rather than SmO2 recorded natively. So it's a Garmin Connect bug rather than a 5X one.

Hope Garmin will integrate these evolutions in a next release of firmware/software for Fenix 5X (start/stop feature) and connect for the display of SMO2 recorded ;)
