Stryd App with SMHR2

[matram]

Has anyone used Stryd App / Stryd Duo in combination with SMHR2?

When I do this, it seems I get no balance data in Stryd Power Centre.

And in the Suunto App it looks like GCT is coming from the wrist not the heart rate belt.

When pairing the pods to my iPhone instead everything works OK, so that is always an option.

I am struggling with if the pods are worth the extra effort. But at least for now I would like to track LSS and balance metrics.

Any hints would be appreciated

@matram Stryd should independently store the workout metrics apart from GPS in the pods itself. You will need to do an offline sync afterwards to get the balance metrics with the workout.

I dont have the SMHR2 but I have used stryd duo with my Race 2 for a while and had no issues.

Are you running with power? If so, then you can very well just return the HRM and get a cheap one with no balance metrics. If you aren’t running with power, return the pods. The watch’s GPS is completely fine.

I am not running with power. The Stryd Pods are old and have been sitting on the shelf for some time. This was a (temporary) attempt to get some additional information on running dynamics. I agree that just using the SHRM2 is probably good enough.

I had synced data from the pods. The file cache in the pods is empty.

My best theory is that there is some interference between the SHRM2 app / belt with Stryd. But I unsure what source of the 3 available (Watch, SHRM2, Stryd) populates the fields in the FIT file. I asked Googles AI and that was a very long and frustrating discussion
