Source of heart rate data

tbsflk

Hi,

I use a Garmin Forerunner 255 to track my runs, sometimes with a chest strap for heart rate monitoring, but sometimes I just rely on the wrist heart rate of the watch.

Since the data from the chest strep is more reliable, it would be great if I could see the source of the heart rate data in Runalyze and filter my runs based on that. Is this info already visible somewhere? I can see it’s available in the FIT files.

Thanks
Tobias

Could you give me two example activities - one with chest strap and one with the wrist heart rate?
The informaton might be available, but not in that way so you could use it in a filter. So this could be too much at the moment.

Shared in what way? FIT files? Or links to the runalyze activities? Do I need to make it public or can you also see them without that if you know which activity?

activity links. Don't have to be public.

Ok.

You can somehow see this at https://runalyze.com/activity/126646450/devices ('Connected devices') where the device type for 'heart_rate' is 'unknown' while for https://runalyze.com/activity/126885131/devices it's 'antfs' (sensor connected via ANT+, e.g. an external device like a chest strap).

But as you can see, that table is all what's provided in the fit file so it's hard to detect the exact sensor(s) and so far that data is not available for filters.
