I use a Garmin Instinct watch. But i bought a separate heart monitor from Garmin (chest belt). Once the heart monitor is coupled to the watch it connects automatically each time you start wearing it. Heart rates from the instinct were much to low while rowing. Resting rate was OK. The heart-rate mon...

I bought the Garmin Instinct about a week ago. I will do some testing and try to post the result. For what i learned till now: heartrate watch is accurate but NOT during rowing activities. Highest beat was 108 which is impossible. My separate chest belt indicates up to 160. I'll keep doing some dubb...

I did some search in the forum and found som hints: Seems there are some watches with optical wrest HR-monitoring: as an extra feature: the HR-signal can be transmitted to external devices (such as the PM5 ??) so .... this seems the solution for my question: Starting the workout with the watch: 1. s...

Is it possible to use a sportwatch that records the HR in combination with PM5? Wat types are usable?
I would like to start my workout as quick as possible.

I can't upload my workouts (from yesterday evening) from USB using the concept2 utility program in windows. Sometimes i get the error: not connected to the internet. The screen looks like all the workouts on the usb-stick are to be uploaded. I am already logged in in the logbook. I can see the previ...

I have the same problems, not really giving error codes but sometimes the PM5 'hangs' or forgets tot save workouts to the USB-stick. Now i always do the workouts without USB-memory stick inserted. After some days i copy the workouts from internal memory to USB-memory stick. Only disadvantage is that...

Same problem here. I now do the workouts without USB-stick plugged in the PM5. Afterwards i copy the workouts to the stick. So far no problem. USB stick plugged in the PM5 during workouts gives problems. PM5 hangs (once - had to reset the PM5) or fails to save the workouts. I even lost a workout. He...
