About

This Garmin Connect IQ DataField lets you add additional sensors to your workouts. By default, Garmin watches record only one sensor of each type, for example, heart rate or distance. And that's enough for many users. But if you want to compare the readings from several sensors, this DataField is exactly what you need. Currently supported: Heart Rate Monitor, Running Speed and Distance, Power (ANT+ and BLE). Tested devices: Garmin fēnix® 3, fēnix® 6S, fēnix® 8, HRM-Pro Plus, HRM 600, Polar H10, Polar OH1, Coros Hear Rate Monitor, Mio Link, Stryd Power Meter. If your settings don't save after installing the app, uninstall the app and install it again. Do not add a data field to the activity until you have added the sensor in the settings. This is a known Garmin bug and can happen with any Connect IQ app. Manual and Support: https://github.com/AlexxIT/ExtraSensor
