A:AnswerYou may want to go to support.garmin.com to reach out to a product support specialist for information on how you would like to use the watch with the Edge 520. If you are using both devices to record the activity, that does involve 2 activities being uploaded to Garmin Connect. If you're wanting to use the heart rate feature from the watch to the Edge, and use the Edge only to record the activity, that will allow only one activity to upload to Connect.

A:AnswerIf the Samsung phone meets our Bluetooth requirements it will pair. The device has a 'Find my phone' feature. as well as a Stopwatch. It would not detect irregular heart rate. However, when recording activities, some activity profiles will offer the option of alerting you if you go below or above a specific heart rate if you have it set up to do so.

A:Answeryou'll be better off with any non-Garmin watches! What good is a fitness device with inaccurate heart bpm? Perhaps most of the other +++++ reviews are paid?
Over the past 10 yrs, this is my 8th and last device from Garmin. A total disappointment with its gross lack of accuracy, hardware failure (within the past 48 hours it froze twice, could only correct it by letting the watch battery drain completely and then recharge it). Software design and options are mediocre, annoying at times and inefficient.
To make matters worse, Garmin’s customer service is an even greater disappointment with its gross lack of professionalism, incompetency and no respect for Garmin patrons (durring all my 12 encounters and 7 hours I’ve wasted with them)!
