Live from a paired Garmin watch
In Garmin mode the watch stays the source of truth: it records a genuine FIT activity that syncs to Garmin Connect exactly like any other Garmin ride, and sends your phone a snapshot of it once a second.
What it shows
- Speed, distance, heart rate and elapsed time
- Altitude, elevation gain, average and max speed
- Position, and whether GPS has a fix
The ride is started, paused and saved with the watch buttons — the phone is a second screen, not a second recorder, so there is never a duplicate of the same ride in two places.
If the phone link stalls, that second’s snapshot is skipped rather than queued behind it. The next one is only a second away, and a backlog would help nobody.
