Yeah, had a HRM with the 1030. Yes, also own a Fenix 5X. Any particular reason the Edge can't record intensity minutes? Seems odd that Garmin's flagship bike computer doesn't have this feature and it makes the intensity minutes per week feature on iOS about worthless to me. Do I just keep an excel spreadsheet with this data?
I agree with everyones frustrations with intensity minutes not getting recorded. But I don't believe that it is something that needs fixed on the 1030. Garmin should make a change in garmin connect that will check any activity you upload and update your intensity minutes appropriately. That way activities from other sources would work as well (Zwift and other virtual activities). Also they need to make it so those changes would then sync back to the watches. Having spent thousands of dollars on the garmin ecosystem, I am perplexed that they don't communicate the data to each other. Especially when the perfect mechanism to do so is already there, garmin connect.
