Lose Edge 500 connection to garmin watch

slowdog1 — Sat, 23 May 2026 04:25:15 GMT

Many times during a bike ride my Edge 550 stops showing the heart rate being broadcast from my Garmin Venu 3 watch. Both devices are charged to 100%. Usually the connection is lost within the first 15-20 minutes of a 2-hour the ride. It DOES NOT ever reconnect on its own. I have to go the entire rest of the 2-hour ride with no heart rate on the Edge (I have to constantly look at my watch).

Various help threads say "simply" restart the watch or restart the Edge, but of course I would have to stop the bike, cancel the ride and restart the ride data, and then all the stats (miles etc) are screwed up if I did that.Unless there's a way to reconnect the watch and Edge on the fly.

Any theories? Fixes?

Thanks.

Disattivare popup ClimbPro inizio/fine salita e filtrare per pendenza e lunghezza minima

6893555 — Wed, 06 May 2026 07:12:50 GMT

In relazione alla schermata "ClimbPro":

- ho notato che fa popup anche su salite praticamente inesistenti (esempio, via Dante a Finale Ligure, ove pendenze sono meno del 1%); il popup è fastidioso perchè elimina la schermata che si stava guardando;

- anche mettendo "off" il popup automatico, fa comunque popup "inizio salita" (e non è una salita!) o fine salita su una parte della schermata che si stava guardando;

- occorrerebbe avere la possibilità di attivare o disattivare i messaggi di "inizio salita, ecc." e di fissare dei limiti minimi di pendenza e di lunghezza della salita per attivare ClimbPro, lasciando la possibilità di utilizzare quella schermata o meno.

6893555 — Sun, 10 May 2026 07:44:50 GMT

I would like to apologise for the above post. In fact, my problem with the ClimbPro page was due to the fact that, with my new Edge 550, I still hadn't discovered how to filter for "real" climbs. After I discovered and activated the filter, ClimbPro worked perfectly. Yesterday I used it and found it a precious tool. ClimPro, together with Stamina, are a real upgrade from my previous Edge 530.

make a new profile with gnss off, i assume in this case it wont ask to pair.

Keeps trying to connect to smart trainer

coachferg — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 08:35:51 GMT

Every time I switch to indoor training profile, it asks to pair with my smart trainer. I have this set up with TrainingPeaks Virtual, and use my power pedals to record data to my 550. It's really annoying.

Feature Request: IAV Cycling Dynamics Support for Favero Assioma PRO RS-2 on Edge 550

MetodiSimeonov — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 07:00:50 GMT

Hello,

When can we expect compatibility support for IAV Cycling Dynamics from Favero Assioma PRO RS-2 on the Garmin Edge 550 lineup?

cycling.favero.com/.../

A firmware update enabling this would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

RE: Feature Request: IAV Cycling Dynamics Support for Favero Assioma PRO RS-2 on Edge 550

MetodiSimeonov — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 09:24:09 GMT

Thank you, that finally worked.

This pairing process is quite poor and not intuitive. So the bottom line is if I want to use cycling dynamics I need to pair the sensors through another connection type that is not used by the default paring mode.

Default pairing mode is BLE and not ANT+ and Garmin does not say there is a different sensor naming format while pairing in ANT+ mode. How is anyone supposed to know what they’re pairing especially if they have multiple sensors? Like trial and error, pair & remove until you get what you need.

Unless this is some hard ANT+ limitation (which I doubt), this feels unnecessarily confusing and poorly designed.

Lastly, Fevero didn't do a good job by not updating their supported devices list which combined with the default BLE pairing mode got me here in the first place.

RE: Feature Request: IAV Cycling Dynamics Support for Favero Assioma on Edge 550

Luko79 — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 07:02:28 GMT

you need to search for a new power meter in the sensor menu and find the Assioma via ANT+ (it should have a 5-6digits number, not a "Favero...." name as via BT). or if it already paired , disable the Assioma BT power sensor (otherwise i assume the Edge will select and use randomly from the sensor pool) to be sure that the ANT+ comm will be used.

aweatherall — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 20:27:44 GMT

You should be able to connect over ANT

RE: Feature Request: IAV Cycling Dynamics Support for Favero Assioma on Edge 550

MetodiSimeonov — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 08:18:06 GMT

That may be true for Garmin's power meter lineup but it is not for Fevero's:

So far, the IAV Cycling Dynamics have only been implemented by Garmin on a limited amount of devices. Make sure yours is one of the list:

Garmin Cycling Computers
•   Edge 520 Plus
•   Edge 530
•   Edge 540 Series

My Edge 550 connects with the power meter pedals just fine but only through BLE, not ANT+ which is a compatibility requirement.

With the current firmware on the Edge 550 is not possible to change the Connection Type from Open(BLE) to ANT+.

Luko79 — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 06:50:28 GMT

every Edge x50 models are supporting the cycling dynamics, so the 550 does it also...

RE: Garmin Edge 550 heart rate problem when activity uploaded to Garmin Connect

Garmin - KS — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 20:17:04 GMT

Garmin devices record activity heart rate every second, whereas the daily graph uses two-minute averages, which explains why peak heart rate values differ between a recorded activity and the daily summary. For additional information, please see this FAQ: Why Do I See Two Different High Heart Rate Values in Garmin Connect?

Garmin Edge 550 heart rate problem when activity uploaded to Garmin Connect

fuzzy50 — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 19:02:22 GMT

Good evening all

Heart rate on actual ride does not match on Garmin connect, it is only showing my maximum heart rate as 90, what is strange is it's happening on the afternoon rides quite regular. The morning ride syncs fine with connect, as you can see on the first image,I also wear a fenix 8 and a hrm600, which is connected to my garmin edge 550

I have attached a couple of photos and as you can see the ride at 1600 is showing the wrong heart rate on garmin connect

RE: Garmin Edge 550 heart rate problem when activity uploaded to Garmin Connect

Luko79 — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 19:54:17 GMT

if i had to bet, the Garmin Connect is showing (on the left pic) the highest 5min avgHR as "max" instead of 1sec maxHR. it is the same at me also with 840 and FR965 , it is not 550 or any other device bug, that chart is working like that .

Bugs Edge 550 30.18

Karchevsky K — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 09:40:55 GMT

Bugs Edge 550.Edge 550 did not control the power of the Wahoo smart trainer for most of the training (from a third-party service). For some reason, the power remained at the same level, it felt less than Edge showed. Then, in the middle of a long section, everything started working correctly (except for constant losses of connection with the trainer). In addition, if I choose automatic selection instead of power as the goal of cycling training, then after the reverse in the Garmin Triathlon Coach plan, light and basic training continue to predict the heart rate goal. This changes only if I make some significant changes to the plan settings (for example, I select or cancel strength training).

Indoor courses not loading on Garmin E550

3962204 — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 14:24:36 GMT

None of the courses are loading when I try and ride on my smart trainer. This is one of the main reasons I got the Garmin.

It simply restarts every single time I load any course, whether it is a GPX file I imported or a course I've ridden in the past.

Please HELP

times change, the only thing that remains the same is that Garmin loses connection with sensors

Karchevsky K — Sat, 24 Jan 2026 12:47:14 GMT

times change, the only thing that remains the same is that Garmin loses connection with sensors During the first workout, the Edge 550 lost connection with the smart trainer and did not control its resistance during the second interval. There were also several brief losses of other sensors. The second workout - again lost connection with the sensors and trainer.

Thank you for sharing your concerns about your Edge 550. I notice that your unit is currently running Beta software, so we encourage you to post in the Edge 550 forum for Public Beta Bug Reports since we have a dedicated team of moderators that monitor questions about devices enrolled in the Beta program.

The conflict between Edge 550 and Fenix 8 for Garmin Triathlon Coach has not been resolved.

Karchevsky K — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 18:35:18 GMT

I really hoped that the new series of bike computers *50 together with Fenix 8 would work correctly for Garmin Triathlon Coach plans. But everything remained the same as I had with Edge 1040. That is, by connecting to Edge 550, the training plan instead of the one I set up as: training days all except Monday; long training day - Saturday; swimming training days - Thursday and Sunday always becomes like this: training days - every day; long training days - weekends (always Saturday and Sunday); swimming training days - Tuesday and Thursday. It's pointless to fight this. I don't really understand why I sold my 1040.
