Use heart rate monitors (HRM)

EXR connects to heart rate straps via Bluetooth and ANT+ and to smartwatches via Bluetooth.

Heart rate straps

Connect your HRM strap via Bluetooth or ANT+. Compared to ANT+, Bluetooth connections work with all and are usually stronger, leading to more precise data. Recommended HRM straps are the Polar H10, Garmin’s HRM-Pro™ and Wahoo’s TICKR.

Bluetooth

Connect your HRM in 3 steps:

  1. Activate your HRM's Bluetooth.
  2. Open EXR and click on the HRM icon. Select your HRM from the list and wait until you're connected.
  3. Select "Finish setup" to start your workout

Set up your gear

ANT+

Please note that only Mac and Windows devices support ANT+.

Connect your HRM to your Mac or Windows device using an ANT+ dongle:

  1. Activate your HRM's ANT+.
  2. Open EXR and click on the HRM icon.
  3. Select your HRM from the list and wait until you're connected. ANT+ HRM's are indicated by their own icon
  4. Select "Finish setup" to start your workout

Trouble connecting while using a Garmin or Suunto program? It is possible that they prevent EXR from finding your dongle. Please contact your program’s developers to find a solution.

Smartwatches

Many smartwatches work with EXR. Often, a third-party heart rate app is needed to connect with EXR via Bluetooth. For example, smartwatches like the Galaxy Watch and the Apple Watch connect through third-party heart rate apps which can be found in the App Store and Play Store.
