Concept2 Forum

I gave up on rowpro as well, the 1980s graphics were annoying, its just clunky, dated software. And really having to schedule a time to row with a group is just not how I want to train. I am primarily a cyclist and row 3-4 x/week for strength. I use Zwift in the Winter, and now use it to row. I thin...

I’ve been using Zwift, since being a beta tester. It’s fun and has a huge commmunity. Makes winter cycling in the basement enjoyable. In fact when I was pairing my power meter yesterday it picked up my concept2, and got me to thinking. Then just found this post

I would be interested in testing, for some reason I can't send pm's. I have a garmin 235 and 520 with a PM 5

Thanks

Hi DJL, thanks for the clarification. How are you finding the Scosche in use, in particular how it feels to wear and how it acts during the physical act of rowing? Have you got it on your upper arm? I read some reviews of it a few days ago and it looked pretty good. I bought a Garmin Vivosmart but ...

Cheers DJL, so a Garmin belt, like the type C2 sells, will be picked up by the PM5, PM4 and a Garmin 235 watch (acting a receiver for the belt to display HR), but a Garmin 235 acting as a HR monitor, via the wrist sensor, will connect with a PM5 but the PM5 won't receive the FE -C data? So what wil...

I think I've found the answer. The Garmin Forerunner 25 which includes an ANT+ chest strap, identical to the one C2 sells. http://www.gadfit.com/garmin-forerunner-25-review-gadfit/ [Edit: now I'm more confused, this belt is compatible with the Forerunner 235 which we're told isn't compatible with t...

I'm giving up with my Garmin 610 working with the PM5. Sometimes the PM 5 finds it, sometimes not, sometime times it stays connected then 5-10 minutes into a workout it just drops the connection. I'll just stick to painssled for now to get the .tcx files that I can add to my other data. I don't thin...

I have a garmin 235, doesn't work with that, ConnectIQ has an app that uses the watches accelerometer for pace but no real meaningful data. I use my really old 610 which, although finicky does connect and uploads "rowing" to garmin connect.

Yea... I'm thought about getting sweaty under that hood, but who knows where the tech will be in a couple of years, apparently for that $11,000 you get the concept2 thrown-in ;) . I think it is meant to be a medium for interacting with other rowers, but I'm not about to toss that much cash down and ...

If you have lots of extra cash, I think this is the future of rowing or any indoor fitness software...VR

I can't use my garmin watch (ant+) and rowpro computer connection at the same time since the upgrade, it only shows seems to allow one type of connection?

I have been trying to use rowpro with my PM5, while also trying to use my garmin 610 watch and rhythm heard rate band. I can't seem to use PM5 if I use anything wireless, the PM5 just disconnects from the computer. I gave up on the USB stick. Seems worse after the recent firmware update on 5/17. I w...
