Soccer

Hello,

I'm using Fenix 5 + HRM -Tri for running and I love it.

Recently i started playing indoor soccer, but do not want to wear Fenix on my wrist while playing, both not to hurt someone or break the watch.

I was wondering is it possible to gather data somehow only from HRM-Tri? like number of steps, cadence, and all that is possible to get, and then sync it with watch?

Or you have any better idea how to use HRM?

Thank you so much

I was going to suggest the foodpod but that does not record steps :(

The documentation for the HRM-Tri suggests it will only store and forward HR data. It is silent on forwarding steps and running dynamics (so I assume that it probably doesn't).

The Wahoo Tickr X is another store-and-forward HRM - but I'm not sure what data it would forward to a Garmin device (as against sending to its own phone app).

Wear the Fenix under a sweatband on your wrist.

Wear the Fenix under a sweatband on your wrist.

I do this. And works perfect, I almost do not notice it

What is more frustrating for me is that Soccer isn't listed as an activity in Garmin Connect - I understand Garmin probably doesn't want people wearing the watches for high contact team sports but still...

Hi ,
I do the same thing and is quite safe both for you your watch as well as the rest on the field.

I realize this in an old post but I'm bumping it with a fresh comment. I've got a couple of months of "Other" data from my vivosmart hr+ that is actually indoor soccer. How the hell is "RC Drone" an activity and soccer isn't an option? Can we get that added as an activity?
I play casual pick-up soccer so wearing a band isn't a big deal but I use a sweatband as well and hardly notice the hr+ despite its height.
