I was broadcasting my heart-rate on my Forerunner 955 to TrainerRoad on my iPad while doing an indoor workout, and received several “Abnormal High HR” alerts while working out. Since these alerts are not supposed to be triggered while “active” it appears that the watch didn’t know I was active (makes sense given the stationary nature of biking on a trainer). However, the fact that I had “Broadcast HR” enabled, and a device paired and receiving it, is probably a very strong indicator that I’m “active” even if nothing else indicates such. Could this be fixed?
Side question: do most people record on their watch/computer while also recording on a supported third-party app like TrainerRoad or Zwift? If I’d been recording on the watch, I assume I wouldn’t have been alerted, but I’d also have a duplicate activity in Garmin Connect unless I discarded it. It doesn’t make a ton of sense to me to record an activity with intent to discard, but it also seems I don’t get every bit of data recorded if I rely on just the TrainerRoad activity sync (like respiration, estimated sweat-loss, or in the case of power, my L/R balance).
