I honestly wouldn't know, as I'm typically catching my breath at that same moment

Hehe, fair enough! I'll run a few tests and see how it works.

Cheers!

Thanks for the swift reply. "...but it doesn't seem to complete the workout entirely." – do you mean that you still need to stop it manually; as in, the distance will stop automatically but the time will keep rolling? Yeah, I noted there's a Cycling option, but as no Rowing (or Skiing) option and as...

Just a last few Qs, JaapvanE; if you don't mind: How do you go about setting up your workout, just set the distance under Custom Workout in the Garmin Connect app? Do you then load it from within the Indoor Rowing activity, or is it its own thing? Presumably once you hit the set distance, the watch ...

Well, just given it a decent test and everything seemed to work as expected! I presume the distance issue I saw initially was likely user error, such as wrong unit setup or something equally silly... (the watch only displays a number) :oops: . Time and distance do seem to be matched to when you star...

Nope, no obstruction; I just mean that unless the watch is getting the distance data from somewhere (eg PM5) it's going to be an estimate, right? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I thought you got around the distance issue by telling the watch (via custom workout) that you'll be doing 10K (for eg); i...

I don't mind the manual connection/USB (actually prefer it) and am perfectly happy with the C2 Logbook data; my issue is getting the correct time and distance on Garmin Connect directly from the watch rather than via the Logbook/ErgData as an additional upload.

Thanks.

Thanks, guys. Not using any app, just the watch and the C2 Logbook (via USB); the watch grabs power, speed and cadence data from the PM5, but not time and distance. All I was hoping for really was to get the exact time and distance recorded direct to the watch (as is the case with the PM5/C2 Logbook...

Well, I gave this a go today but unfortunately the watch didn't seem able to take either distance or time from the PM5; the former (obviously an estimate) was totally off, and the latter remains a manual procedure (ie the duration between pressing start/stop on the watch, rather than automatically s...

Thanks very much for that, JaapvanE. Was a bit confused as I believe you actually have to enable the C2 Logbook to share the workout with Garmin Connect, rather than disable it (ie off by default), though maybe it's different when using ErgData. I'll give it a go tomorrow with the settings you sugge...

Thanks for all the info; just a few more Qs if you don't mind: On the RowErg, I used both methods, but I kept the ANT+ connection and disabled the automatic upload. The ANT+ indeed provides a lot of data from the PM5, but also includes internal Garmin fields like HR, Temperature and breathing. So fr...

Just wondering about the best way (in 2023) to connect the Fenix 6 Pro Solar to the BikeErg; ideally, I'd like to have all data fields accurate in both my C2 Logbook and Garmin Connect (with no duplicate workouts). Looks as though there are many options, with each having one drawback or another; bel...

Updating the firmware seems to have fixed the 'verified' issue.

Thanks for the replies, guys. Yup, totally aware that it's only for set distances, which is exactly what I'm doing, eg 20K (a rankable distance on the BikeErg). I can rank the pieces just fine; the problem is that they're no longer verified. It was working fine previously... Am aware that you can us...

Whilst the vast majority of my workouts have been recorded correctly as 'verified', I just noted that the past few weeks' worth have not. I'm not sure why that should be the case as I always use a USB flash drive and always confirm calibration before each session (and recalibrate whenever required)....

Pretty tame compared to the the previous one however which had different levels for gold, silver and bronze.
