Physio TrueUp seems incomplete...

I've been using Edge bike units for a few years and just got hooked into trying the Instinct so I could get all day heart rate analysis and phone message alerts. All seems to be working as intended except Physio TrueUp with the Edge 530 doesn't seem as complete as I'd expect.

While biking I remove the Instinct and use my Edge 530 with a HRM-Dual chest strap (I don't want to wear anything on my wrist while biking). The problem is that my heart rate data from the Edge 530/HRM doesn't appear in the heart rate chart on the "My Day" screen of the GC mobile app. That leads me to believe that my "Body Battery", "Stress", "Intensity Minutes", etc. for the day also aren't using the Edge 530 and HRM data. Does anyone know? Is there something I can do to correct or improve the Physio TrueUp?

Edge does not support Body Battery, Stress,... You need to use the Instinct for that. Keep Instinct with you (not necessarily on the wrist). Pair it with the HRM-Dual (HRM can be paired with multiple devices simultaneously).

Ah, Ok, I'll admit that "with me, but not on the wrist" wasn't something I considered. I appreciate the suggestion, but I'll have to mull that over. My Camelbak is pretty crowded already, and now I feel like I'm working for the machines rather than the other way around. So, I was hoping all the magic happened in the GC app, but it sounds like those calculation are all part of the Instinct. I will have to consider. Perhaps I'm due for another Camelbak with more storage area. Or I suck it up and try having the Instinct on the wrist as well. Thanks for the work around suggestion!

Yes, that's right. There are also bike holders for the Instinct in the store:

Thanks, yes I had seen those, but it just seems like too much to add yet another Garmin to the bars. I'll either live with what I have or choose between wrist or Camelbak. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
