Does IT also disconnects the bluetooth connection between your phone and the Garmin when using the heartbeats device. Currently I AM using the HRM app from the app store top send my heartrate from Apple watch tot Garmin Edge. The only negative is that IT Will disconnects your phone -> Garmin connection when using this app.
i'm going to ask the obvious question.. why didn't they put a Garmin mount connector or a handlebar mount on the POD..? I would think it would be better to have the smart watch pair to the Garmin Edge so that you can hold your arm/watch at an angle to be able to see it when you are riding.. Turn by turn navigation is useless unless you can see the Garmin GPS.. you can always hold your arm in a way to view the watch.. a simple beep with an arrow on the watch would tell you where to turn..
Do you know if Apple Watch can detect Bluetooth power meter like Garmin Vector? That's the second issue I have preventing me to move from Garmin. I have Garmin Edge as well.
I'd be surprised if it could. I've always been told that Garmin and Apple don't play nice together. Though I do not have any experience with power meters.
Thanks for the solution. This is one of two issues preventing me to move to Apple watch. Btw do you find the optical hrm from Apple Watch to be accurate enough you can leave behind the chest hrm? My Garmin 935 is horrible and useless.
At that time I don't believe was using a hrm anymore. Not because of accuracy but I had just stopped. I had been riding more mtb than road and it wasn't comfortable with a hydration pack.
I hope the new apple watch ultra won’t need the heatbeatz device to broadcast your heart rate to garmin edge bike computers. Currently using garmin tactics and broadcast my heart rate to my garmin edge.
Nice review! Do I get it right that I have to run the Heartbeatz App actively in the foreground on the watch when I want to transmit my heart beat? Can I run a native Apple Watch training at the same in the background to also collect the Apple Watch achievements?
Yes you do have to actively run the heartbeatz app to broadcast the heart rate. I’m not sure about running two app’s on the watch at the same time. I have only used the heartbeatz with my garmin edge or with my peloton. I’ve never used it with a tracking app on the watch at the same time.
How long was your ride and how much battery juice did it use up on your ride. Would the apple watch battery last 8hrs if the ride is 8hrs long? It’s for century rides.
My ride was under 2 hours. I believe the heartbeatz could last 8 hours but I don’t know if the Apple Watch would last that long while broadcasting the heart rate.
My Whoop strap can broadcast to my ELMNT BOLT-2. That’s easy. Buying another device to connect my new Apple Watch to my BOLT? Not easy. I’ll put the Wahoo HR chest strap back on. Whoop is great but subscription sucks. That’s why I got the watch. Oh well. No biggie.
Seems this product is no longer available on the website?

That is a good question. I never noticed that that happened when using the heartbeatz.
Thanks for this info!
No problem!
Just bought one
Anybody know where to buy this in Europe?
Cigala cycling in Ireland have them

Having some sort of mount for the pod would be very useful.

Hi Graz. How you send heart rate to Garmin From Apple Watch ultra?
@@Calderon-bike hi, that is what I am trying to find out too😅 I hope someone here can give some ideas.
@@grazryan Well, I'm going to buy the Apple Watch ultra in a week, and I'll try it too and let you know if I succeed
Anyone managed to successfully broadcast HR from apple watch ultra?
I have always been told that Garmin and Apple don't play well together. Does the Ultra broadcast to a Garmin edge?
