Body Bike Smart+ connection

Is there a way for more than just the heart rate to be displayed when using the "Indoor Bike" activity when on my Body Bike Smart+? The bike has Bluetooth and ANT+ and I'd like my watch to show distance, RPM and watts.

It works for me, at least with my Edge 1030 plus.
Will try with my fenix 6 sapphire today.

But you rotate your pedals to wake up your Body Bike.

Hi janhuniche,

I started using intelligent cycling app today at my local gym, it is a commercial system paired with watt bikes. I use a Garmin Fenix 6 with a Garmin HRM-RUN heart rate monitor.

Nope - it's such a shame, anyone else??

I'm looking for being able to get the number of watts (plus cadence and distance) from the "body bike smart+" as well (my gym has these bikes). I tried to add it as a sensor by going to:

"Sensors & accessories" -> "Add New" -> "Smart trainer". But I just got the error message "Plug in or pedal to wake up your trainer" (I was already pedaling, and the trainer was on).

They also mention Garmin fitness watches to be compatible with the body bike smart+, in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTp_3FzlcFg (about a minute in). So, I guess it should be compatible,

Has somebody been able to connect these together, how did you do it?

The way it connects is pretty stupid - on your watch press the top RH button, select "virtual run" and wait for it to tell you "open zwift or other apps", then go outta that, select "indoor bike", press start. Open the Body Bike app, start pedaling, select connect to devices, your bike should pop up, as should your watch. It only show the heart rate on the BB app.

Hope that makes sense!!

Instead of "Smart Trainer" try "Power meter".

Select 'Search All' and see if anything comes up.

But you rotate your pedals to wake up your Body Bike.
Then go to sensors and pair with your Body Bike that shows up as a powermeter.

Then configure your datafields with RPM and power etc.
I get, RPM, Watts but not distance, but I dont care about distance.
As long as I have HR (strap), Power, RPM and Calories its fine with me.

Thank you so much for this - I can now record cadence and power as well as heart rate on my watch. So happy! I will check out your link too, I use Les Mills+ which I love but this could be a great addition.

It's works, thanks so much!

Conclusion of my tests are that the watch must be able to connect to a “power source”

Garmin 245 music for example does not have that ability
