Garmin 830 and Xert Workout

Former Member over 5 years ago

I get short 2-3 seconds where it all of sudden resistance changes to 0 for a second.. then a sec later it come back harder than whatever power it is suppose to be at. This goes not occur with the Android version of the workout player. These little bumps are very annoying and power robbing to the point where I won't use the Garmin for trainer workouts. Integrating a Garmin with my smart workouts is one of the main reasons I purchased the 830 and I can't use that feature as intended. Is this an issue that is being looked at? Is there a fix?

I could never get the Xert training IQ Connect app to work properly with the Garmin for training; I use the iPhone app to do Xert training (and view it on the Mac with the remote feature).

I've never understood why people bother trying to use the Garmin for indoor training -- the apps like TrainerRoad, Xert, Rouvy, Zwift are all much better and have bigger screens that you can actually see. The sensor data can get recorded by the apps, too.

The Xert Segment Hunter IQ data field on the Garmin is excellent, however.
