The field works as expected. You get the HR, as that is what is available and stored in the possible way. The comment I have is that it is hard to really use the data, I would appreciate if there were pointers in the field documentation (I saw some comments about a Horse ANT in another review, similar question). The data is available in Garmin Connect and Runalyze.com, but it is hard to compare. At least the Android app allows displaying both in the same diagram, but the scales are not aligned. It would be nice if the description has some pointers to a converter that replaces the OHR with the external HR so they could be exported to an .tcx and be compared with the original activity (I still use SportTracks for that).

It works quite well getting the orm and hrm data, but not gauge or color on my venu 2 watch, just the hrm heartrate basic info :(

The gauge and zones can only be displayed when the app knows the zones. Go to the settings and add a User and including the Zones field. If you use it yourself then just put "u" there (User's zones), if it's someone else then "m" (automatically calculated from Max HR), or if you want to go fancy then: "z:100,110,120,130,140,150"

When updated to current version app did not inherited settings and ANT IDs. Also, the names of the fields look really weird on setup screens in GExpress: Display format part 1 (AntHR:'{H}', AntZone:integer(2):'{Z}',fraction(2.34):'{z}', AntName:'{N}', WHR:'{h}') {H} or Zones ('u' - use user's HR zones | 'm:[maxHR]' | 'z:[minZ1],[maxZ1],[maxZ2],[maxZ3],[maxZ4],[maxZ5]'. i.e: 'm:181', 'z:90,102,134,145,157,175') What is the difference between "------ Sensor #1 ------" field and "Name" field?

It couldn't inherit because of some changes, I know it's not the best but it was intentional and also there is a note in the What's New section about it. The horrible, long, hard to understand field name is because there's no other way I can display the "HOWTO" for these fields in a way that it's close to where people need to see the format. I'm open to better ways if you have an idea, then please contact me via the Contact Developer link. Sensor: you can have up to 2 sensors identified by ANT ID. If you only want it to record, then this might be enough. You set a Name and you'll see in the recorded activity who you ran with. If you have partners you run with and want to coach them you can add them as User. This way you can also set their zones and you'll see a zone gauge with colors and see their zone on the gauge and also on the display as number. i.e: Z3 or if you want to be more "precise" then as Z3.45. If they have their own HRM just add their ANT ID under the user. I run with my 2 sons so I set up the 2 users with their name and zones. However they pick up a "random" HRM band, so I set it up like this: Sensor: set the Ant ID, and the Name to the actual user that use it at the moment. This way it'll know to use the Zones of the user with the same Name. I know it's complicated. The idea was to enable coaches to give their own HRM to the person they coach and not having to set their zones every time again and again. Here too I'm open to ideas how to make this easier / more user friendly / clearer.

Works perfectly. I contacted the developer about this, but just be aware that some services, like intervals.icu will take this field's data instead of the native field data. You may want this (since you'll get both OHR and HRM data recorded), but it's just something worth knowing.

could not add hrm pro plus because its ant+ id has 6 digit id , and polar h10 connected ant+ id 5 digit id

Works very well. I just want to ask if this allows the HRM to be used in conjunction with calculating lactate threshold as my fenix 5 plus says a HRM is needed, not the optical sensor. But does the watch recognise the HRM for this if it is not paired in the settings??

Thanks for the field. Tried it several time with XOSS X2 attached on Polar Equine electrode set. Works fine and reliable. Now I can have my own HR and kinetics from HRM-Run and horses' from XOSS. Great. But now I want more ;) Since horses' HR is just displayed on watch or in connect.garmin and not used for any calculation, it feels like certain waste of data. Wouldn't it be nice to enter the horse mass into setup of the field and get horse's calorie spending just to know roughly how more oats to supplement in the evening?
