Can Garmin Watches Broadcast Heart Rate Data?

Many Garmin watches can broadcast heart rate, to verify compatibility and to find steps on how to broadcast refer to your owner's manual.

Many third party apps and devices may require the heart rate to be broadcast over Bluetooth to receive a signal. Any Garmin device or sensor that broadcasts over Bluetooth will also broadcast over ANT+ whenever you enable broadcasting. For devices compatible with Bluetooth broadcasting see the list below.
