About this deal
Stand-alone activity monitoring (steps, all-day heart rate, calories and intensity minutes) using Physio TrueUp Zkrátka pro cyklistu je rozhodně lepší mít na řídítkách velkou cyklonavigaci než malé hodinky. Sice jsem ještě nedávno preferoval při cyklistice hodinky – konkrétně F6X Pro Solar – ale s příchodem Edge 1040 mě začaly cyklonavigace zase bavit. Starší model Edge 1030 měl jednu nevýhodu, a tou byla slabá výdrž (12 až 15 hodin s GPS) a také problém se „samovybíjením“. Stávalo se mi, že jsem Edge 1030 zapnul a baterie byla téměř vybitá, i když jsem ji předtím prokazatelně měl nabitou. Možná špatně nastavený úsporný režim, nevím. Ale naštve to. In fact it is possible to use your HRM-PRO heart rate belt and register your daily activities totally without using the watch. The device takes standard CR2032 batteries, which are easy to obtain and Garmin promises a year long battery life. The HRM Pro communicates via Ant+ (via unlimited connections) as well as Bluetooth (two connections - so you can send data to a computer and Zwift on an iPad, for example), is assured over a temperature range of -10°C - 50°C and promises waterproofing for swimming. To be super clear, the HRM-PRO Plus still works just fine with watches not on the list, you’ll just simply see the heart rate & footpods listed separately, as opposed to a combo dish.
NOTICE! Running Dynamics analyze your running dynamics. So even if you can use the heart rate belt for cycling, you won´t get your cycling cadence reproduced. RUNNING POWERAnd the same is true for non-Garmin devices/watches over Bluetooth Smart. So you could do the following, all concurrently:
The HRM swim was made specifically to go in chlorinated water, I believe. This means the strap has less wear and tear from your regular lap pool swimming session than the fabric based HRM-Tri strap for instance.Also, being in Australia I’m a little surprised that Garmin couldn’t come up with a solution here. Even something as simple as replacing the white silicon cover with a harder plastic and having a screw either side would be sufficient while keeping the twist opener under it for a better water seal.
