Badger Sep 2020 5:15pm, 21 Sep 2020 12,803 posts	Badger Interesting. For a random file I pulled off my account from last week, 140 and 79 give different values. 79 is the value I see against that activity in Runalyze, 140 the value I see against the next activity in Runalyze. Which hints that one of them is the value at activity start, the other the value at activity finish, which matches up with what larkim was saying about reckoning the number was from the previous, not current, activity. I haven't seen recovery hours for a while either. Flanker, other than digging through C or C++ header files, which are the most detailed, there's the profile.xlsx file, which includes a lot of information including scale factors, offsets and units, plus a few PDF files with some information about structure and some of the major types of fit file, but nothing like a clear reference document anywhere. What version of the SDK do you have?

Badger Sep 2020 8:41pm, 21 Sep 2020 12,805 posts	Badger Mm. I'd be tempted if I needed everything it does - running dynamics, swimming recording, movement recording with no watch and BT feed for things like Zwift - but I really don't. I can just about see how it gets to be £30 odd more than an HRM-RUN.

chunkywizard Sep 2020 8:54pm, 21 Sep 2020 9,988 posts	chunkywizard Store data and transmit later is for sports you are not allowed to wear a watch in eg judo or basketball. You wear the strap and you can get heart rate (and steps?) and then you sync the data at the end of the session.

chunkywizard Sep 2020 9:14pm, 21 Sep 2020 9,989 posts	chunkywizard I believe you start an activity on your watch, leave it in your locker and then stop it when your back at your locker then the HR data gets added afterwards. I think.
