HRM Pro Plus switch to 965 when activity stopped

3902835 3 days ago

Hello

I use the HRM pro plus for most activities, I use my 965 as my cycling computer, when I stop my cycling activities my HR switches back to the watch straight away, the watch is on my handle bars, so I do not get any HR recording, I like to get my HRR data after a cycle. Is there any way to keep my HR data coming from the HRM when I stop the activity but I am still wearing the HRM

am currently trying to get my watch back on my wrist asap, but it’s not a great way to keep an accurate HRR reading

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Try broadcasting the HR from the watch, my 965 in that situation is showing the HR from the strap. Also when I am not in an activity.

That's an interesting use case, probably Garmin didn't think of. Though I could argue that why do you stop the activity if you still continue to ride? Or why don't you start another activity (i.e: you finished your race, stop, save it, then start a bike commute activity)

It would be interesting to see if the HRM turns off (my guess is that as long as it's on your chest it will continue to broadcast , just the watch doesn't care) I have the opposite problem after running: for a long time I just popped off 1 of the 2 "buttons" of the Polar h10 when I finished the activity and I was walking home and I didn't want the polar to finish the battery. It seemed to have worked until about a year ago. Since then I need to pop off both buttons (take off the sensor from the strap and hope it'll not get lost) Interestingly the same is true when I get home: previously I took off the strap and put it on my desk with 1 leg ("button") disconnected. Nowadays if I check after a few minutes I can see the strap is still broadcasting (the nothingness it senses on the desk...) and only after totally disconnecting it from the strap it stops itself.
