Strength Rep Counting

Former Member over 7 years ago

What is the best way to utilize the rep counting feature? I tried it for squats and it caught "most" of my reps, but not all, didnt work for bench or pushups. What does work?

Also, why is the weight max set at 99lbs? Am I missing something?

Any other tips and tricks with how to use this?

I have used on the Vivosmart 3 and being using it on the Fenix 5x since yesterday and based on 2 gym sessions I am finding it pretty accurate. Its catching most weight based exercises. I did find on the Vivosmart 3 that squats and sit ups it struggled.

My experience is that "form" plays a part in the detection, so if anything it will help improve form

How are you getting rep counting? I don't see that option.
