Tacx Flow and Fenix 5 showing highly different results

iam.dreea
over 4 years ago

I bike indoors on a Tacx Flow, and today I wanted to use the Fenix 5 that i generally use for running.

Tacx said i biked for 16km, Fenix said i biked for 10km.

Which one is correct? And why the difference, and can i get them to sync?

I would be grateful for any answer. Thank you.

    Since your Tacx Flow Smart Trainer is providing you the distance of you ride through Bluetooth to the Tacx Training APP you are using on  your smartphone - what settings have been specifically changed within your Indoor Bike activity settings for your Fenix 5 to determine the distance without using GPS?

    Despite us having acquired Tacx and their products, I do not see documentation to suggest compatibility between your Tacx trainer and your Fenix 5 watch. It can vary trainer to trainer and our outdoor watches. I do not have enough information on our end to say it will be impossible to get your trainer to pass the distance to your Fenix 5 but given your results, it is clearly not providing the total distance to your Fenix and your Fenix is gathering the distance data in another way based on your settings.

    Hello Chris. Thank you for your reply. In this case I will continue to use the app of the Tacx in order to get a correct result.

    Thank you.
