Compré la aplicación pensando que valdría cómo ayuda para mis entrenos y no sirve para nada. Los datos que me da ni se como interpretarlos, salvo seas médico. La desinstale

Lamento que se sienta así, pero la VFC es una métrica que mide el estrés. estrés bajo = hrv alto (entrenamiento), estrés alto = hrv bajo (descanso). si necesita ayuda por favor pregunte. Gracias Brian.

At first I thought this app didn’t show anything in the free version. It linked to pay for the paid app at the end of the 5-minute test. But some of the information showed up in Garmin Connect like an activity would including some graphs. Being recorded into Garmin Connect as an activity, it also synced to Strava with my HR data but without the HRV info (good for me since I don’t want all my followers to see every HRV test I do). Worth it to test out and see if you want to pay for the full version.

Thanks for reviewing! The limited version does provide all the data at the watch, but is limited at Connect. The full version provides many data and graphes

В приложеии НЕТ  IS - индекса стресса, в Garmin Connect нет графиков гистограммы и скаттерограммы. Самому считать? The APP doesn't have an IS stress index, and Garmin Connect doesn't have histogram or scatterogram graphs. To take?

Vielen Dank für die Überprüfung. Ja, es wird über Nacht aufgenommen. Es gibt 2 Modi: Überwachen oder zeitgesteuert. Setzen Sie den Timer auf Null und die App befindet sich im Überwachungsmodus, der keine zeitliche Begrenzung hat.

I think I have this app working - but I’m not sure and that’s why I’m writing (and why a 3 rating - at this point). I have a Garmin 645 and a Garmin Run HRM strap, which both work fine. When I run this app (which I can only do from the watch), it runs and produces “results” / output stats on my watch (very hard to read as the phone interface is relatively small). When I sync my watch to my Garmin app on my iPhone it registers as an activity on the main screen (without useful info), and when I click on that I can see lots of metrics. However - I don’t understand the metrics, how to interpret them on your app etc - and I cannot find anything on your web site that helps in this regard. For example - I have a HRV avg of ~80 (per your app, if I’m reading it correctly ??). Is that out of 100 max, or is the max higher than that? Is 80 low or high in your measurement? Is it a standard measurement such that I can compare it to studies about HRV etc.

David thanks for reviewing, the full version provides 20+ additions data values and Graphs. The Limited version only provides several metrics to Connect for viewing and provides all data at the watch. HRV information is widely available on the internet and I provides several links on my website to references. Viewing is best on the website connect.garmin.com. For best results set Data Recording to ‘Every Second’.  All devices the default is ‘Smart Recording’, which means the Fit file is not being written every second and will miss important heart events. From the watch main menu go to Settings, System, Data Recording.

Waste of time for Vivoactive HR without a chest strap. If you have a chest strap then it may be useful. The Garmin blurb says it is compatible but you only find out you need a separate chest strap monitor when trying to work out why it doesn't give any useful information.

Developer Reply

Sorry you feel that way but CIQ 2.0 devices require a HRM. VAHR does not support direct connections and the optical rr-interval that is required for HRV calculations.

Developer Reply
October 2, 2020, fbbbrown

Sorry you are having a problem, for HeartMonitor+ HRV (full Application), an external ANT+ Chest HRM strap is required for devices less than CIQ 3.0 as in the FR 735xt. Only IQ 3.0+ watches support the advanced optical sensor. Only IQ 3.0 devices, support directly connected ANT+ and BLE external HRM’s. If CIQ is less than 3.0, Make sure to Disconnect the ANT+ Chest HRM from your device, from device Settings,Sensors,HRM. Set the HRM status to OFF. The HeartMonitor+HRV app will make the ANT connection to the Chest HRM, since it needs all the information provided by the HRM.

Andreas, sorry your are having a problem. With the FR 735 (CIQ 2.0 watch) the HeartMonitor+ HRV (full Application), an external ANT+ Chest HRM strap is required for all devices less than CIQ 3.0. Only IQ 3.0+ watches support the advanced optical sensor and support directly connected ANT+ and BLE external HRM’s. If CIQ is less than 3.0, Make sure to Disconnect the ANT+ Chest HRM from your device, from device Settings,Sensors,HRM. Set the HRM status to OFF. Polar H10 is compatible, with HeartMonitor+ HRV. if you still need help please contact me and considering revising this review when it works for you.

Sorry, you are having a problem. I will refund, but perhaps I can help! I replied to your email and the most common mistakes are not using Connect Mobile App, using the wrong email or a typo during purchase or unlocking. The unlocking is a simple copy and paste of your purchase email.

I am happy with the stats that the app supplies. Great job! I am a new user so I'm still learning the app. Is it possible to collect steps, etc while using HRV or is it an either/or. Trying to figure out how to get running mileage, cycling, etc Mine is a CIQ 1 920XT. Thinking of getting a 245 for CIQ 3.

Thanks for reviewing, try using the Dozen Walk or DozenRun with Heart Monitor Datafield with the Garmin builtin Run or Walk app. You will get the same heart information plus steps and all types of other activity related information. If you have a question feel free to contact me using the contact developer link (include your email so I can reply).

Happy with this so far, still learning how to use it..I bought the watch & now this App due to having Long QT Syndrome & a SCA...I'm thinking in investing in a chest hrm....I know this App is for general use but it may help monitor any unusual heart rates if the event my heart stops again..But I do have an ICD that hopefully will have any information needed on it too..ty

Hi Matt thanks for the review. An HRM is needed for the CIQ lower Than version 3.0: VAHR and FR735 and others Are CIQ 2.4. Garmin added The optical support to the CIQ 3.0+ devices, and the optical support is not backwards compatible. Brian

Can it be used to track HRV during sleep? What about the battery consumption in this case?

Developer Reply
June 6, 2020, fbbbrown

Thanks for reviewing, yes will work perfectly for HRV long durations sessions. Typical battery burn rate is between 4-7% per hour depending on CIQ version and Watch model. A Fenix 6x will be around 4% and a VivoActive 4s will be around 7%. This is due to battery sizes only.

I wanted to check my HRV on a regular basis without the hassle of a cheststrap and this tool is doing a great job and it gives a ton of more information, there is tons of info's in there and I still pick apart what I might want to look further, its just great to have the option but back to HRV , just to be sure it's correct I have run parallel tests with a chest strap and it's spot on, so now I run this every morning at rest for a few minutes and get reliable data

Pricing must be a joke. It isn't a one time fee but an annual payment of 3 usd. Could have bought onetime license but definitely not any recurring fees for an app this simple.

Developer Reply
May 28, 2020, fbbbrown

Sorry you feel that way, you must not have seen the graphs and data that this app gives. This compares to EliteHRV and Kubios HRV Standard, and those apps do not have heart monitoring abilities or cannot use a built-in optical sensor as HeartMonitor+HRV. BTW, EliteHRV is a monthly subscription and is 32 times more expensive. Kubois is an annual subscription and is "128" times more expensive. 32 and 128 are not typos.

This app is not user friendly and does not pick up my heartbeat. I have no clue what is wrong. Easy to add to watch but very difficult to understand how it works. The directions read like a foreign language and all it says on my Garmin watch face is NO HR.

Developer Reply
May 25, 2020, fbbbrown

Peggy, sorry your having an issue. The No HR, means the app is not receiving a heart rate interval. This is likely due your watch is not a Version CIQ 3.0. If your watch is an older model (less than 3.0), an external HRM is needed. If you do not know what CIQ version your watch is contact me, include your email address or i cannot respond.

Sorry, no statistics available yet.
