Intensity minutes - Edge + watch

Hi all!

I'm new owner of Edge 830. Before that, I've used my FR935 for bike activities, and every ride increased my Intensity Minutes. Now I'm riding with Edge, without FR935 on my hand. In both cases I always use HR strap. Edge do not increase my Intensity Minutes. What's more - day HR timeline don't shows graph for bike activity. Of course in concrete ride I can see HR graph. On both devices I have Physio TrueUp set on. Do you have similar behaviour or it's something wrong with my setup? Garmin can't help me...

ps. e.g. recovery time from Edge, activity is visible on my FR935.

Im surprised by this answer. I thought Edge devices would support IM feature. Why do they sync all the stuff and then don't support such a basic information?

This is a bit ridiculous. Stop making metrics that are not supported by all devices. I use a Fenix 5X for hiking, running and daily activities and an Edge 830 for cycling. Garmin connect mobile is filled…

Thanks for answers. I found 2 interesting things. First - there is Physio TrueUp and TrueUp. And it's different.

Hi there!

I can not confirm. My Edge 830 if I ride indoor on my hometrainer (GPS is off) it not count any intensity minute. If I ride the same but with GPS on, it cou t.

As far as I see, Garmin does not take into account home cycling at all.

Yeah, that's not going to work. You don't have a watch, there is no IM.

Garmin explains that the Edge doesn't count IM, they just don't understand that we don't care if it counts IM. We want the cloud to calculate it very simply: no data from watch->data from Edge->get HR data->calculate IM.

But well Garmin doesn't want to listen. Probably when the sales will drop they will take to heart what we say.

Ps. Does the Edge 1040 have IM?

So why do I see the IM in my activity?

0 ro83rt over 1 year ago in reply to kielak

No the 1040 doesn’t have IM either.

0 ro83rt over 1 year ago in reply to Smooth

That will be because you wore your watch. The IM in the Garmin connect app doesn’t include IM from the edge. Only from the watch.

My Edge 930 have IM, but it only if the GPS is on. For an indoor training (hometrainer or roller) the IM is not available and I don't know why!

Strange... What kind of HR strap are you using?

0 R-o-m-u-l-u-s over 1 year ago in reply to peseriusz

An Bluetooth/Ant strap from Decathlon. The same strap is used also in outdoor rides connected to Edge and in runnings connected to Fenix watch. No, not the HR belt is the issue here. :)

So my understanding is - you are leaving your Fenix home, you are going outdoor and riding with E830 only (with strap and GPS) and you have IM in Garmin Connect. No watch on your hand. It's strange because no one has IM there :)

One question - if your Fenix stays home, is it possible if your Fenix gets HR reading from "air"? Randomly, you can check on the Fenix HR widget if there is a gap in time when you ride or not?

Usually during the rides I have also the Fenix on my wrist but is not in ride activity recording mode. The ride recording is done only by Edge. Yesterday I had a ride and at the end of the ride when I stopped the recording I saw the IM date in the summary activity screen.
