The Apple Watch® boasts a phenomenal heart rate sensor – so why use additional gear when you already have one on your wrist? Using the HRM Heart Rate Monitor app, you can simply and reliably use your Apple Watch® to track your heart rate with your cycling computer. Unlike other heart rate monitoring solutions, you don't need any additional hardware. With the HRM app, all you need is your Apple Watch® and your iPhone® to reliably send heart rate data to any compatible bike computer via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The HRM app is compatible with almost any BLE-equipped bike computer. Please find the up-to-date compatibility list here: https://dominikmaglia.com/hrm-app-user-guide/#device-compatibility You don't even need to worry about carrying your phone in your hand - the app works seamlessly without any impairment to your phone, allowing you to focus on your ride. The HRM app simply reads heart rate data from the Health app using HealthKit and your data is stored securely in the Health app. It does not create any data. No complicated settings or redundant tracking of your workouts and training zones. The HRM app provides just a simple and reliable alternative to traditional chest straps. Mind that this is a paid app that requires a subscription. But worry not: You can test the app for free for seven days. If you don't like it or there's an issue with your setup, you should cancel the subscription before the trial ends and you won't be charged a dime. The subscription is auto-renewable and automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal at the price listed within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Subscriptions made on iOS devices can be managed and auto-renewal turned off in Account Settings for your Apple ID after purchase. Once purchased, refunds will not be provided for any unused portion of the term. But no need to worry, you may cancel at any time. You can find our terms of use on my website: https://dominikmaglia.com/hrm-app-terms-and-conditions/ Be sure to have the app installed on both your Apple Watch® and your iPhone®. It does not work with just any of the two.

Great workaround, couldn’t get it working.

Tried to get this working with Garmin edge. The garmin connected without much headache, but I could never get HR to actually push to the computer. My watch would show my heart rate, and record a workout, but the phone app never seemed to get into a state that would grab it and push it to the computer.

Thanks for your feedback!Unfortunately, not all Garmin Edge models are compatible and most require a specific procedure to follow. Please check this: https://dominikmaglia.com/hrm-app-user-guide/#device-compatibilityBest regards,Dominik

Works with Wahoo Bolt with some work

I have the app working with my Bolt. I really like it now. My tips:1) Leave a few minutes before riding to get it running. 2) Make sure the Elemnt or Wahoo app is not running. Also make sure Background App Refresh is turned off for those apps. 3) Start HRM apps on both phone and watch. Make sure you see HR on both devices. 4) Be sure to Start the app on the watch. 5) If you have already added the HRM sensor, _delete_ it. I have to add the sensor back on every ride or it never connects. 6) Answer No when it asks whether to remove HR from your computer pages. 7) Add the sensor back. 8) Wait for several seconds for the HRM sensor to connect. The sensor should show the HR on the settings screen. If it just says Connected, it won't work. It will show N/A for BPM on a workout page. Make sure the watch app is Started, not just running. 9) Check an activity page to confirm you see HR. 10) If no HR, reboot the phone and begin again.

Frustrating

Not worth it. 1/4 rides collected data. I’ve done all the things before my rides to ensure connection but today the app disconnected 2 minutes into my ride (Wahoo Element V2). Didnt notice until an hour later. But even then, If i had noticed i would have had to stop my ride and take 5 minutes to delete the HRM from my unit, turn off Bluetooth, turn back on Bluetooth, close and re open app, stop and start watch app, reconnect to Element, and hope that its actually broadcasting my heart rate or do this again 3 more times until it does *sigh*

Not Quite Ready for Prime Time

I tried using this app with a Wahoo Elemnt Roam. It connected fine and worked well with the Roam. Communication is via Bluetooth. The issue I have is that after using this app and the bluetooth connection, the Elemnt Roam will not easily connect to the Wahoo Elemnt app. Simply turning the Elemnt Roam off and on doesn’t work. I had to forget the Elemnt Roam bluetooth connection and reboot my iPhone to get the Elemnt Roam to connect to the Elemnt app. Too much work to get the Elemnt app connection to the Elemnt Roam hardware re-established for me - that is why I believe this app is not quite ready for general use with a Wahoo Elemnt Roam. The bluetooth connection issue needs to be resolved first.

Hi BikenShoot,Thank you for your insightful review! Unfortunately, these limitations are tied to the Wahoo's firmware so I don't really have control over that. Still, there may be a better procedure and I will investigate the issue you describe. In the meantime, I hope the app is still helpful to you.Best,Dominik

This version features two improvements to Bluetooth transmission robustness. If you've experienced dropouts of heart rate data, this update should fix it. Happy cycling!
