ErgData can not connect to PM5 and vivosport at the same time because it has no Ant+ connectivity. First try to connect your vivosport by ANT+ only to PM5 without any Android smartphone. Note that before connecting you have to put your vivosport into HR-sending mode. Alternatively you can also try t...

No problems after upgrading PM5 firmware to V159 (using Android/Galaxy S8 with either Polar H7 or Garmin vivosport).

My experience is good. Connection is reliable (ErgData to PM5 by Bluetooth, then PM5 to wrist tracker by Ant+), at least since I updated PM5 to V159. You are right about the wrist positioning. I put my tracker a little bit tighter before rowing. And possibly twisting it 180 deg. to the palmar side o...

Ok. It works. To pair vivosport to PM5, one needs to send the HR data from the watch in a special HR send mode (while pairing to Garmin connect needs no special action). But afterwards I couldn't connect to ErgData. Solution is: - delete your ancient pulse belt data from USB stick - connect your pho...

Since whatisant.com claims compatibility, I have bought a Garmin vivosport wrist-based tracker yesterday. Pairing with my Android works perfectly and as far as I have seen, pulse measurement is quite accurate, at least in my pulse range (at 63 yr. I hardly go over 140 bpm). Connecting the device to ...

Has anybody experience with connecting wrist-based pulse detectors to a PM5? I often use a chest belt HRM (Polar H7) but would be interested in an easier way to monitor my pulse. Since many of the wrist-based monitors support both Bluetooth smart and ANT+ connectivity (e.g. Garmin vivosport) I was t...

Thanks a lot for your inputs and suggestions. For the moment I stay with my D model, hoping the increased fitness and an expected wight loss will make me forget the somehow lower D seating position. If I should nevertheless decide for a higher seating position, then selling the D and buying an (used...

Changing the legs seems to be feasible - you just have to drill the appropriate holes to fix them.
Since new E legs are quite expensive (about 250 USD in my country) and this is gonna wipe your warranty, I won't do it for the moment.

Hi. I am new to this forum. Having used a 2017 Model D with PM5 for several months, I am generally very pleased with it. Since I am rather tall (196 cm) I was thinking abour changing the feets of the D model to feets from the E model (PN 2717 & PN 2793) in order to get a higher seating position. Any...
