Re: Fitbit Charge 6 - PM5 Heart Rate?

i'm such a goober... first, thanks everyone for your replies and suggestions. I have discovered that my problem is the old I.D.10.T. problem. after doing some more futzing around with the Charge6 I discovered that the indoor rowing exercise choice has a setting in it for Laps. Why? who knows... sinc...

Re: Fitbit Charge 6 - PM5 Heart Rate?

just a follow up. The Fitbit Charge 6 worked fine for a while on a newer PM5. Then a couple of weeks ago it went wonky. The watch itself displays a Heart with some lap mumbo jumbo on it and it vibrates almost constantly. Still shows the heart line on the logbook, but the watch goes from almost fully...

Re: Fitbit Charge 6 - PM5 Heart Rate?

Thanks for the feedback. I figured the Google monster could also be the issue. Anyway, not a huge deal as it syncs with my Android phone just fine. Interesting that PM5 has no issues with an Android phone what with Google everything running on it and has no bluetooth issues with any other app on it...

Fitbit Charge 6 - PM5 Heart Rate?

it's probably been discussed to death. I see general complaints about fitness watches and monitors not working with the PM5. Just hoped maybe someone had some info specific to the Fitbit Charge 6. I just got mine this week and was hoping to connect to the HR on the PM5. Here are the symptoms: Choose...

Re: ERG RACE APP

I tried it again today. I had one Invitational and one public race set up. Neither worked. Only one of the participants, who was on the erg next to me in the studio, actually was able to run the invitational. I had 3 of us in the studio trying it out. The 2nd, public race, none of us were able to jo...

Re: ERG RACE APP

I've tried running 4 races so far. both of the ones that were "by invitation" ran flawlessly, Both of the public races failed. The public races appear to be progressing correctly, countdown, Sit Ready, etc., and then when the green GO light comes on - the race disappears. I have sent comment to the ...

Re: ERG RACE APP

I set up and ran one last week that went flawlessly. An invitational with 4 participants. This week i set up a public one that was a total bust. Both were set to run automatically from the server but today's race glitched out almost immediately after the "time to warm up" message appeared. It'll be ...

Re: Ergdata current release logs twice on android phone

I've had the same experience several times lately. Recorded one of my workouts 3 times about a week ago. Tonight i did a 20 minute piece and it recorded that twice. Deleted one from the log, Rebooted the phone because it wouldn't exit the Ergdata app. Then did the loop. Didn't record that one at all...

Re: Ranking calculation errors

I have not reported it. And I don't really have very strong feelings about it. I've never even rowed a 30 minute piece for a ranking and I really only compete against myself. Was just curious if anyone else had noticed this sort of thing. All of the ranked pieces I have done appear to be accurate. T...

Ranking calculation errors

I noted a ranking for a 71 year old male, 30 minute verified piece at a 500 m pace of less than 1 minute? When the world record for a single 500 M piece is a minute 10? Over 15,000 m in a half an hour ...for real?

another Ergdata quibble

Another thing I'd like to see them fix is that when the phone is mounted on the erg in it's landscape/horizontal position, both the phone status bar (which includes the clock - which i like to have visible because I'm in a group class that ends at a certain time, so i know how much time i can contin...

Re: need egdata tutorial...?

.... Also, seems that the only way to view my Concept2 logbook on the phone is to go to Ergdata "settings" on the phone, then go to the "help" button at the bottom. then press "logbook" on the web page (in very tiny font that I have to expand the page to get at) Only way I ever looked at my log was...

need egdata tutorial...?

OK, i'm old... and operator error is a distinct possibility, but... Android version 12, connected to PM5 in a rowing class 4 days a week for the past year +. For some reason, i can only load variable interval workouts from my phone to sync with the PM5 monitor. Can't program a variable interval work...
