(I use the 'Elevate for Strava' extension to get that - and you can see the TSS from the 'ride summary' screen at the end of your ride in Zwift if you can bring that up before you exit). However, overall Training Load does increase with those rides, and VO2max changes.

Bowman 🇸🇪 Mar 2022 1:53pm, 10 Mar 2022 1,116 posts	Bowman 🇸🇪 I got that notification on my 945, and i don't remember having done some setting? Are you sure you wont get any notification, and what unit do you have?
chunkywizard Mar 2022 2:06pm, 10 Mar 2022 13,648 posts	chunkywizard I thought it showed the battery status in Garmin Connect and like Bowman my watch gives me a pop up when the battery is low.
Bowman 🇸🇪 Mar 2022 2:14pm, 10 Mar 2022 1,117 posts	Bowman 🇸🇪 It does say battery level in GC ios app on the activity when its been used, but its always full for me, and says "battery ok". (HRM PRO). So ive never seen it go down before the watch told me.

Badger Mar 2022 2:40pm, 10 Mar 2022 14,942 posts	Badger I'm pretty confident that my Fenix 5 gave battery warning pop-ups, but sometimes the battery would just go without warning. My current HRM seems to have done this, it was dead this morning (though my watch could see my other sensors) but I didn't see a pop-up last night when I was using it for over an hour. When the sensor is connected, there's an information page for it within the sensor menu and that will include the last battery status info it sent, so you can check it actively. It can take a couple of minutes before it sends a battery status message.

Badger Mar 2022 3:06pm, 10 Mar 2022 14,945 posts	Badger That might make it more complicated than just brand alone - my Tickr FIT (the rechargeable optical armband) sends battery status over ANT+ and shows more detailed charge level in the Wahoo app (if you haven't run the battery dead just trying to get the app to notice the band sitting two inches from the phone broadcasting its socks off).
