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+® wireless protocol whenever you enable broadcasting. For devices compatible with Bluetooth broadcasting see the list below.

ANT+ Concurrent Connectivity

If you need to pair a sensor to more than one device, we recommend pairing using ANT+ on the Garmin device to leave the Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) channel open for other devices. For steps on how to set your sensor connection type, see your owner's manual.

For more information on compatibility and pairing with third-party apps, we recommend visiting the app's help pages or contacting the developer of the app.
