Use your Wear OS watch as a heart rate monitor and cycling tracker while riding on a bike
Connect your watch to bike computers or to indoor training apps. Display and broadcast heart rate and power based on HR over Bluetooth Low Energy or ANT+ from your Wear OS watch to indoor cycling apps such as Zwift.
1/ Use your Wear OS watch as a BLE heart rate monitor
• HR2VP will measure your heart rate with the optical built-in sensor of the watch and broadcast HR over Bluetooth Low Energy as a heart rate monitor during your workouts
2/ Connect your watch to your Garmin Edge bike computer
• Download the HR2VP data field on the Connect IQ store and add it to one of your screen: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/ab94e897-c1a0-4d5c-9688-89ecfb11126a
• Enable broadcasting to Garmin data field in the watch app's Settings
• Your phone will act as a bridge between your Wear OS watch and your bike GPS
3/ Connect your own heart rate monitor, power meter or cadence sensor to your watch
• Connect your own sensors and get more training metrics while riding indoor or outdoor
• Compatible with Bluetooth Smart power meters
• Cadence sensors
• Heart rate monitors
• FTMS bike trainer (use the rotating bezel for control)
4/ Add power to your rides
• Our advanced matching algorithm computes power based on heart rate, which is measured by the optical built-in watch sensor or by your own chest strap
• Your individual parameters such as FTP, resting heart rate, and max heart rate, are taken into account for improved accuracy
• See how many calories you have spent during your workouts and monitor your fitness
5/ Upload to Strava
• Pair your watch with Strava and automatically upload your rides (with power) in order to visualize them on a map
6/ Frequently Asked Questions:
Is a phone app required?
=> No, HR2VP for watch can be used as a standalone app during your ride, exept if your want to connect with ANT+ or use the Garmin DF.
Is my cycling head unit compatible?
=> Non exhaustive list of compatible head units with BLE: Hammerhead Karoo 1 & 2, Coospo, Magene BLE devices.
For other cycling computers such as Wahoo or XOSS, see next point about ANT+.
How to connect to bike computers?
=> The best option is to use ANT+. If your phone is not ANT+ native, please use Garmin, Wahoo or Magene ANT+ USB sticks. Then, enable ANT+ broadcasting in HR2VP's Settings, and download ANT Radio, ANT+ Plugin, and ANT USB services on your phone. Be sure to set unrestricted Battery usage for each app on your phone as well as for HR2VP companion app.
What is the FTP?
=> The FTP or Functional Threshold Power is the maximum average power that you can hold for an hour.
How to know my FTP?
=> There are 2 estimation tools online: http://hr2vp.com
How to connect to Zwift?
=>Try the Bluetooth direct connection and avoid the connection through the Companion app (use the icon on the top in the pairing screen). If it doesn't work, reboot the watch and try again. Always start the watch app before Zwift.
I get disconnected, what can I do?
=> Be sure to disable battery optimization. Check that location permissions is granted on the remote device/app.
How accurate is power based on heart rate?
=> Our advanced matching algorithm gives a good estimation of power but there are still a few limitations. First there is a 10 seconds lag before your heart rate goes up when pushing harder on the pedals. High intensity short intervals (<30 seconds) use energy without oxygen, with no impact on heart rate. This is why power will be underestimated on short intervals.
Can the app be refunded if it doesn't work?
=> The Playstore can refund your purchase within 48 hours.
