check if hrm strap is connected

Tonight I had weird HR readings during a run. Can I check somewhere of my watch and HRM-strap were paired or not? Check during the run, or afterwards I do not care. But now I do not have a clue. It is the HRM Dual.

  • Yes it should be there. No big problem for me it is not today.

    Interesting is that I am wearing HRM almost every single day and have it visible in all activities. Here is Last synced 23/09/16 - half year ago ;-)

    The same here:

    Last time I have seen battery in GCWeb was on Jan 16th

    As said. I do not mind missing that status. I am replacing battery every 150h of use.

  • Could it be relevant, that I don't use a HRM-Pro, only the Garmin HRM-TRI strap?

  • check: are you sure it is connected to the watch? Do you get readings if you wear the watch over your sleeve? So it does not get optical heartrate?

  • Yes, I do. There is a short info before starting the activity that it is connected with external hrm strap. Also it works without having the watch on the wrist (eg on bike). Overall it's not a problem, but to have an overview about battery would be a comfort function :-)

  • Yes it is strange.

    Could you do one last test, please?

    Go to Menu -> Health & Wellness -> Wrist Heart Rate -> Status -> Off

    Then connect HRM strap

    In Menu Sensors you should see it is connected.

    Then standard Run activity. Save it. Be sure you see HR while running.

    If you will have HR readings those will have to be from strap. Then if missing detail about connected device would be minor error. But if you will not have HR data than problem is larger.

  • No. Should not be difference. I have used Wahoo strap as well

  • Thank you, I will try!
