Sincing Forerunner 235 HR into Zwift

Former Member over 7 years ago

Hi all,
New to Forerunner (and Zwift)...

Wondering if I can use the wrist based HR on my Forerunner 235 and sinc it with the Zwift cycling system at all?

I have the ANT+ dongle and extension cable for the Kickr trainer which picks up my Watts and cadence. I would love to get the wrist based HR into the equation as well.

Any chance?

Cheers, Pete.

I don't think so. You could try broadcasting HR and see if that works. I doubt it. My take is that you'd need an ANT+ HR strap to talk through the ANT+ dongle.

Yes you will need to broadcast your HR and then it should be picked just like any "real" ANT+ HR strap.

http://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/forerunner235/EN-US/GUID-0C4E7DFB-E1C4-4EA8-885B-4DF88B3CD341.html explains how.

Can't remember with a 235 if you can broadcast HR and record an activity on the 235 at same time as you can on a 735 or 935 for instance.

Yes, the feature is available on the FR235. I just tried it on one that is running firmware v5.40, and I have no reason to believe it has been discontinued in v7.

Awesome responses. I can broadcast and hence should be able to sinc (will try tonight). Thanks so much everyone!
