Measure heart rate during training only

WaleczneSerce
over 3 years ago

I have "Garmin Instinct" and "Garmin Solar" and I miss the option of measuring the heart rate during strength training in such a way that the heart rate measurement was only during physical activity and it would be turned off outside of it. During the day and on non-training days, it is turned off and during training it is turned on (so that it is automatically turned on during training).

Is there such an option to enable? or is it planned to be introduced?

this would extend the battery life

    Yes, but only on the Solar version, or on Instinct 2 - those have the Power Manager, where you can add a power mode with HRM on, enabling the custom power mode with HR in the activity profiles where you want it active, and disabling the HRM in the global settings.

    Should I have heart rate measurement turned on in the menu in the "Power Management" settings? or is it off?

    and then turned on in the strength training settings? How to set it exactly to work as you wrote above

    As I wrote - general settings: HR off, in the custom power plan for the activity: HR on

    1. Change the global settings: device menu » Sensors & Accessories » Wrist Heart Rate » Off
    2. Add a custom power plan: device menu » Power Manager » Power Modes » Add » name » Wrist Heart Rate » Turn On
    3. Select the desired activity (GPS button), enter the activity settings (Menu button), go to Power Mode, and select your custom power mode
    4. Repeat #3, if necessary, for all other activity types, where you want the HRM active
