HRM Straps for Intensity Minutes

Former Member over 5 years ago

What Heart Rate Monitor straps (HRM-Dual, HRM-Tr or HRM-Run) can be paired with my Fenix5 and on the Garmin Connect app register intensity minutes? I have the HRM-Swim and while it says it doesn't collect intensity minutes while swimming, it doesn't collect them during any other activity either.

Any external HR strap should do, BUT:

1. Only live HR data is taken into account. When using a strap in the post-activity download mode (like the HRM-swim or HRM-tri), no intensity minutes will be awarded.

2. Connection to an external strap is dropped when not in timed activity mode, i.e. you can't use a strap for 24/7 monitoring.
