I updated to 170 as well, but so far do not notice any difference to 169.

hi all,

today a new pm5 firmware for rowing was released (see https://www.concept2.com/service/monit ... e/timeline, but the changelog is not really detailed. anybody knows what has changed in more detail?

I'd like to share my recent experience with ergdata and apple watch. The setting I prefer now is to use ergdata app (wirelessly connected to pm5) on the iphone as training and not start an apple training on the apple watch (ignore the training detection by the watch). The polar H10 chest strap is co...

Thanks, but I know this calculator. It is a maximal vo2max calculator, i.e. it requires maximum intensity training / race times.

I'm looking for a submaximal vo2max calculator, which allows vo2max calculation based on moderate training using avg hr rate, pace, distance etc.

hi, anybody knows a submaximal vo2max calculator that can estimate the vo2max based on avg and maximum heart rate, distance and duration? for running there is a popular forumla and calculator for submaximal vo2max estimation by jack daniels http://www.fu-mathe-team.de/daniels.yaws . for concept2 row...

just found the following article https://www.cultofmac.com/690011/how-to-fix-apple-watch-duplicate-workouts/ . IT seems apple can handle duplicate workouts, i.e. calories and rings are only counted once, but the number of trainings ist still incl doubles: My training app reports 4 workouts if I have...

just checked it. unfortunately apple does not merge the trainings, they are doubled.

so i have to decide between ergdata apple health sync vs apple training.

Yes, but isn't it better to use the data from the erg directly (ergdata syncing) than using the data logged by the watch? I would rather disable training detection (which I think is not possible). E.g. die KCal is more accurate from the erg I guess.

How do other users do that?

hi, i use ergdata together with a polar h10 chest strap (for hr accuracy) to log my trainings. recently i bought an apple watch. i enabled syncing from ergdata to apple health. when i start rowing, my watch detects training and creates a additional rowing workout training. hence i have duplicate tra...

echo dot connected to my hifi system works for me...

I use Amazon Alexa, i.e. speech to control music

I always use an polar H10 bluetooth/ANT+ chest strap when rowing and everytime after switching on the PM5 monitor I have to connect the chest strap again.

Is there any way to save the bluetooth/ANT+ connection in PM5, so that the chest starp automatically connects to the PM5 after switching on?

hi,
i use then concept2 seat pad and wonder if this influences the pace during races negatively.

anybody else using the seat pad? how is your experience?
