Broadcasting Heart Rate to Garmin Devices

You can broadcast your heart rate data from your vívoactive 3 Element device and view it on paired Garmin devices. For example, you can broadcast your heart rate data to an Edge device while cycling, or to a VIRB action camera during an activity.

NOTE: Broadcasting heart rate data decreases battery life.

  1. Hold the touchscreen.
  2. Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories > Heart Rate.
  3. Select an option:
    • Select Broadcast In Activity to broadcast heart rate data during timed activities (Starting an Activity).
    • Select Broadcast to start broadcasting heart rate data now.
  4. Pair your vívoactive 3 Element device with your Garmin ANT+ compatible device.

    NOTE: The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin compatible device. See your owner’s manual.
