Are there any way to pair garmin 1030 with iWatch directly?

Former Member over 4 years ago

I would like to connect iWatch to garmin without smartphone and use heartbeat sensor.

Out of the box, the Apple Watch does not broadcast heart rate in a way that Garmin devices can consume.

I just found an apple watch app that purports to support this. I don't have an apple watch, so I can't verify that it works. It appears that you still need a phone though.

What’s the name of that app?

The iPhone is already paired to the Edge for connected features. I doubt it can run a second BT connection to the same device and make it look as a HRM.

heartbeatz uses a dongle as a bridge between the watch and the Garmin https://npe-inc.com/heartbeatz

Navigr8 uses your iPhone as the bridge but requires a subscription https://www.navigr8.com

BlueHeart also uses your iPhone as the bridge but is free so probably best to try first apps.apple.com/.../id1485503543
