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

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 H10and Wahoo’s TICKR.

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.

Many smartwatches like the Galaxy Watch and the Apple Watch work with EXR. Often, a third-party heart rate app is needed to connect with EXR via Bluetooth.Since we aren’t affiliated with any app and new HR apps come out often, we advise you to check the Play Store or App Store's recommendations for the best HRM Bluetooth apps.
