OHR displayed in Open water activities!

Hi all,

I don't know which update FW? Hub? Mobile app? Brought this but the HR is now displayed in the open water activities!!!

Up until now when I was doing to trick to reactivate OHR in swim activities (start the activity, shortcut back to widgets, go to HR widget, go back to your activity), only the Training Effect was displayed, for HR I had to go to the general HR readings to see the info. But I noticed on my last openwater swims that the data is now displayed together with the other graphs of the activity, even time spent in zones is displayed.

I know OHR is not reliable in the water but it gives a general idea anyway, so this is just great news for me!

Didn't try yet on a pool activity, but I'm afraid it will probably not work. If anyone can test on a pool activity and give some feedback that could be nice.

Ok went to the pool today... activated OHR, but no luck. The HR data is available only with the daily HR records but not in the activity. Only training effect is displayed in the activity, but this was already working before whenever I activated OHR during a pool swim.

maybe I can find a way to activate GPS during a pool activity, this might trigger the record of HR data directly I the activity as it does for open water swims.

You can look in one of your open water activities, from which source the hr data originates

us the FitFileRepairTool to check this with "sources"

happy & safe sporting

Nice trick! Confirming that in the pool activity it shows the HR during activity but doesn't record it, only training effect is displayed.

I don’t understand your reply, what do you mean by source? I know the source is the optical HR from the watch, or are you talking about something else?
