Wi-Fi 4 It has faster transfer rates and improved security compared to its predecessors — a, b, and g. Battery 1. Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life. An indicator shows you when the device has low battery. The battery can be recharged and used over again. The manufacturer offers a branded wireless charging kit. To charge the device, you simply put it down on its charging base. There is less chance that you will run out of battery during an adventure. In power save mode you can still check what time it is and other basic functions. As far as I can see they only have the ad hoc broadcast HR option.
Not broadcast during activity. Is this right or am I missing something? I would like to see more on accuracy…can you point us to any past wearable review with accuracy testing in a trainer vs. Either during activity, or from the sensor settings menu. But is there anyway other than leaving broadcast HR on permanently to have the Edge automatically capture watch HR data?
Can it be used for Peloton cycling? Have you considered instead syncing to Strava and then manually exporting that and uploading that to Garmin? I see you mention Whoop in there. I know it has been asked before, but do you plan to do a review on Whoop at any point?
Yup, working on it now, to release later this month. Its really a shame because there seems to by no hardware limitation on the Vantage series for example. But maybe they prefer to sell a ton of H9 and H10 belts what I can understand from a commercial persepective. Literally for beta testing you load the same firmware. They have some extremely minor features and SKU-specific watch faces that appear to turn on and off by detecting the model that the firmware is running on f6X vs Tactix: secure wipe and night vision mode.
It also seems like airplane mode is renamed to stealth mode on Tactix. Otherwise I think the features are identical. Looking back at it, being indoors most of the time in not to sunny UK, the non-solar would have been fine. For those of us that Zwift cycle with a watch, you really think some Garmin guide or FAQ really wants to tell us to start or hold on the start screen?
This is useless. The activity should be tracked in Garmin. Howdy, Is there anyway to stop the power saver mode from stopping the HR broadcast after about 20 mins on extended mode? I broadcast HR from my xt to an edge Cheers, Paul. Been using this feature with Zwift for a while with my iPaf. Virtual Run is a reasonable start. Those features should off course trickle down to Vivoactive 4 and other same generation watches. There is no HW reason why it should not be possible. I recently got a VA 3 and have used it to broadcast while rowing on an erg.
It seems consistently low and at one point dropped my HR from close to down to the mids mid-workout. Am I right in thinking that if you are using your hands for your activity it may negatively impact HR? I see better results if I move it up my arm, away from my wrist. But even then it seems a bit low. Is this also an issue when cycling?
Yes, definitely. Cadence lock is a common problem when biking, also, or even more, on a stationary bike. The result is that I discovered that the VA3 high on my arm is fairly accurate after a while, but way off early, and sometimes still goes wonky. So I rely solely on the chest strap. I want to broadcast my HR while Zwifting and I want to record the activity as well.
I established connections with TP and GC so that my zwift workout would be uploaded. So after my first zwift ride, I looked at GC and although cycling data, i. I record what I can on my F6 or my Edge to have consistant data.
True-Up is True-Pain related to training load etc. Lockdown here in South Africa entails not leaving your property. Now running laps around my patio partially covered. It appears the gps on my Garmin loses signal and thus distance on the covered portion. I am wearing a footpod. Is it possible to set the watch to take distance from the footpod? Would setting it to indoor running do this?
I notice in the 4. Pair with zwift companion and works great, better than broadcast. Is there an accuracy difference between the optical and the chest strap?
But am I the only one that thinks this is a big work around for the sake of buying a chest strap? Nice article and very timely. How do I activate those or is there a way to start the activity without it? I added a screen for cadence and speed so I can track my bike workout. Is there any way that my Fenix5X can broadcast steps? Hopefully that way I can use Zwift on a treadmill without having to buy a foot pod. Thanks Kaz Any recommendations on what stride sensor to get?
My Garmin one has died and 2 x wahoo ones refuse to pair with Zwift. My preference by far is Stryd — any Stryd footpod will do fine for treadmill. I use Stryd inside and outside and would not be without it. Unless Garmin suddenly gets a lot better at tracking via GPS. It stays on the TM. NPE Runn is the cheaper solution — and I think they have a sale on?
But Stryd gets you Watt readouts — which is great for outside pacing. So if you normally run at watt — going up a hill at the same speed would maybe put you at watt doing the same speed. And everyone knows if you have had your HR up high — it can take a while to get it down again. And you might not notice your HR increasing running uphill — as HR is a lacking indicator.
So from you start running uphill until you see the full effect — it can be too late. The Watt indications show almost instantly. So Stryd is my pacing tool and my distance measure. My NPE should arrive tomorrow so I can tell more after that. My kids are quite young so they often run holding the bar during some of the run — so run distances are never even close based on the acceleration meter in the watches — therefore the NPE Runn..
And I supervise all their runs closely — as kids are only 5 and 7. Kevin, you might want to use an indoor or treadmill running mode instead of the GPS-based running mode. Sorry, I wanted to ask when will be possible to broadcast indoor running pace to Zwift for instance…. Can the Vantage V be used day tot day training, activity-log, sleep-log and seperatly the Grit X only for trail-running and mountainbiking? Wil the sleep recovery en orthostatic test values uploaded from the Vantage V be used by the fitspark training advice in the Grit X and visa versa.
Have a Venu for 3 months now. Instead of using this, I actually have to use my chest strap monitor and connect it to my watch. After 10 minutes I have found that the Garmin watch is pretty good. I have tried various tightnesses around my wrist, makes no difference. Very annoying, especially for indoor activities that may only last 45 min when it takes to get an accurate reading.
