How to disable "native" power (running)

I have not found a way to disable native power. I am using a HRM-pro (do not plan to buy/use another HR-belt) and do not want to collect garmin power as I am using Stryd for running power (and have been for several years). Stryd, IMHO, is way better correlated to effort/RPE. Have I missed something?

Having both messes things up as they are very different. I can manually edit the FIT file and remove a data field but that is very cumbersome if you run 5-7 times a week...

Hi,

Great workaround but be aware that pairing HRM Pro in BLE mode will also not record HR RR, so if you need it (DFA1) or other thing, it won't appear.

How?

Maybe try fliiping it upside down from normal? As far as I know, garmin running dynamics are not recorded like that. They sholud be the basis for the garmin native running power estimation

Hello all,

Currently, the HRM-Pro/Pro-Plus do not support disabling the native power feature. Please use the link below to formally suggest this:

Have an Idea?

*A workaround for this (as suggested by Alexander suggested) is to wear the HRM upside down, but this will ALSO disable the detection of Running Dynamics.

Another way I found is to pair the HRM Pro as an external heart rate monitor, or change the connection from ANT+ to BLE.
