Activity minute HR device preferences

My Instinct does much worse at tracking my HR than my old Vivo HR did. I am only getting about half of the activity minutes from my bike rides. The peak HR from my Instinct is usually lower than the average measured by my chest strap going to my Edge510. The chest strap will measure 150 avg and 175 peak, the Instinct will be 110 avg and 140 peak. Is there a way that the activity minutes calculation can default to chest strap data if available? It is all uploaded to Garmin Connect anyway.

If you connect the chest strap as an external sensor to your Instinct, normally it should use the data from it. Personally, though, I have no problems with my Instinct to record the HR directly (without an external HRM) up to ~190 (did not try more yet).

When I am on my bike, I prefer to have the chest strap linked to may Edge510 which is much easier to read while riding.

Normally, you can have an ANT+ HRM linked to mutliple devices.

Thanks, linking it to both could work!
