QuestionI sweat a lot during spin class. Will the heart rate monitor be accurate?
Asked 9 years ago by Soccered.

Questioncan it track activity on an elliptical
Asked 9 years ago by lynn.
- Answer Just time spent on the elliptical, and heart rate. If you swing your arm then you get credit for steps. There is an elliptical activity you can choose to identify your workout afterwards. I use Indoor walking, then rename it elliptical afterwards.

QuestionI have a wahoo cadence and speed blue tooth sensor attached to my road bike. Can this watch pair with the wahoo sensors via Bluetooth?
Asked 9 years ago by BikerEnthusiast.
- Answer Yes it does. I have it synchronized with the Wahoo to show speed and cadence while riding indoors on a trainer. It hasn't been recording the cadence as it should, but it catches it sometimes. The original vivoactive will pair with the Wahoo sensor too.

QuestionOn my second Garmin Vivoactive HR and it will not accurately display the number of floors climbed. Most times it won't display any floors climbed at all. My wife's Vivosmart HR has the same problem. Is this a software issue?

QuestionDoes the GPS work even if it is not near the phone?
Asked 9 years ago by Ginny.
- Answer Yes, Garmin is known for GPS devices before smartwatches and fitness trackers were a thing. This watch locks on to GPS and GLONASS natively without any app. In fact, all of its functions work great without app including setting alarms and starting workouts. The only think you need the smartphone for are the connect alerts about phone calls, texts and some apps that load map data or data from internet, etc. The watch can even calculate the sunrise/sunset/moonrise/moonset times every day without any internet/app connection.

QuestionDoes Vivioaxtivr HR with Garmin Connect pair with Map my Fitness by UA? I like this app to track workouts and will buy the watch if it's syncs data to Map my Fitness. Thanks.
Asked 9 years ago by DP.
- Answer I am using the vivoactive HR paired to my Windows Lumia 950 XL (with the Garmin Connect app on it). the HR records al the walk info and then when you sync it to your phone (the Garmin Connect app) all your walk, ride or run info is also stored in the Garmin Connect app. It is an easy setup to set your MapMyFitness account to be synced with your Garmin Connect account. The sync after each walk is very quick. The GPS map, the times, distance, heart rate, elevation changes and calories burned will all appear in your MapMyFitness account. The only issue is that your Step count info will not yet sync over to MapMyFItness "due to a new file format that the HR saves the step count in" but MapMyFitness is aware of the issue. The vivoactive HR does have screens on it that show your step count as you walk and on a summary screens The Garmin Connect app also saves all your walk info history
