Intensity minutes #1

Hi there,

I love that there is now a curling activity app for Garmin watches. I tried it at tonight’s game. I did not use the timing feature as I just wanted to see the data it provided including the number of brush strokes. Unfortunately my watch, an Approach s70, did not record any intensity minutes - not 1. I normally get slit of minutes each game - my last game was about 150 total. Does you app not track Moderate activity minutes, or did I do something wrong?

Thanks for raising this. I can confirm that I have not been credited with intensity minutes either. Unfortunately, I don't see anything specific for intensity minutes in the API, but I'll keep looking.

I suspect that because I'm not tracking steps, it doesn't count intensity minutes.

Having said that, can you try to ensure your device is configured to use heart rate zones for intensity minutes? I just found this, so I haven't had a chance to try it. But I've set it up and will try it during my next game.

FYI, after following the steps to enable HR-zone-based intensity minutes, it retroactively updated my game from yesterday with intensity minutes. Can you confirm if this works for you?
