As of the last 2 weeks I do not get a credit for some activities like a 2 hour ride at HR average 140, but then get 10 minutes for ... nothing I can remember (just walking around at work). Used to be fine. I wonder if something has changed?
scarboroughjohn feel free to send me a private message with the username you use for Garmin Connect and I will be happy to see if I can see anything in your account that could be causing that.
While I certainly don't understand the criteria for earning Intensity Minutes, my Mk1 has been reasonably consistent for the 7 months I've had it. I generally get 70-90 minutes worth for a 30 minute run and subsequent warm down walk. I get the occasional 10 minutes here and there for walking quickly. I even get 10 or so minutes when walking back from some dive sites even though the Mk1 is mounted on my Mk1 is mounted on my camera rig and so there is no HR data.
I haven't seen any changes recently and no change in behaviour after upgrading to 4.00.
I’ve noticed this too. Garmin Connect doesn’t seem to register intensity minutes logged by the heart rate monitor strap connected to my bike computer. It only registers the minutes logged by my running watch.
Its all garmin equipment. Would be nice if it worked together.
The Intensity Minutes are a joke and completely inconsistent.
The other day I walked to the station as I normally do for work. I had plenty of time and took 27 minutes to get there instead of my normal 18 minutes. I was credited with 27 minutes of Intensity Minutes for the slow walk but I never get any for my normal speed.
I have been unwell for the last few days and spent the last two days in bed. Yesterday, I did a total of 1,500 steps for the whole day. Around the middle of the day I noticed I had 16 Intensity Minutes (4 moderate and 6 vigorous). At the time I'd only done 1,200 steps and they were all very slow and steady. The highest my heart rase got for the whole day was 129 bpm.
