About this app

Use your watch under Wear OS as a heart rate monitor and cycling tracker while riding on a bike

Connect your watch to indoor training apps or to cycling computers. Display and broadcast heart rate and power based on HR over Bluetooth Low Energy or ANT+ from your Wear OS watch to indoor cycling apps such as Zwift, Rouvy, Road Grand Tour (RGT).

Important note : on Samsung watches, please enable background execution in Samsung Wearable on your phone.

1/ Use your Wear OS watch as a BLE heart rate monitor

• HR2VP will measure your heart rate with the optical built-in sensor of the watch and broadcast HR over Bluetooth Low Energy as a heart rate monitor during your workouts.

2/ Add power to your rides & connect to cycling apps or bike computers

• Our advanced matching algorithm computes power based on heart rate, which is measured by the optical built-in watch sensor or by your own chest strap.
• Your individual parameters such as FTP, resting heart rate and max heart rate are taken into account for improved accuracy.
• See how many calories you have spent during your workouts and monitor your fitness.

3/ Connect your own heart rate monitor, power meter or cadence sensor to your watch

• Connect your own sensors and get more training metrics while riding indoor or outdoor
• Compatible with Bluetooth Smart power meters
• Cadence sensors
• Heart rate monitors

4/ Control your smart trainer

• Control your FTMS bike trainer (with rotating bezel) during your workout. Compatible models are Elite Direto, Suito, Wahoo KickR Core, Tacx Flux S or Flux 2...

5/ Upload to Strava

• Pair your watch with Strava and automatically upload your rides (with power) in order to visualize them on a map.

6/ Frequently Asked Questions:

Is a phone app required?
=> No, HR2VP for watch can be used as a standalone app during your ride, exept if your want to connect with ANT+.

Is my cycling head unit compatible?
=> Non exhaustive list of compatible head units with BLE: Hammerhead Karoo 1 & 2, Coospo BC200, Magene BLE devices, Garmin Edge 130/130+.
For other cycling computers such as XOSS or other Garmin Edge, it is not possible to connect with BLE, see next question about ANT+.

How to connect to bike computers?
=> The best option is to use ANT+. If your phone is not ANT+ native, please prefer Garmin, Wahoo or Magene ANT+ USB sticks. Then, enable ANT+ broadcasting in HR2VP's Settings, and download ANT Radio, ANT+ Plugin, and ANT USB services on your phone. Be sure to set unrestricted Battery usage for each app on your phone as well as for HR2VP companion app.

What is the FTP?
=> The FTP or Functional Threshold Power is the maximum average power that you can hold for an hour.

How to know my FTP?
=> There are 2 estimation tools online: http://hr2vp.com

How to connect to Zwift?
=>Try the Bluetooth direct connection and avoid the connection through the Companion app (use the top right corner settings icon in the pairing screen). If it doesn't work, eboot the watch and try again. Always start the watch app before Zwift.

I get disconnected, what can I do?
=> Be sure to disable battery optimization. Check that location permissions is granted on the remote device/app.

How accurate is power based on heart rate?
=> Our advanced matching algorithm gives a good estimation of power but there are still a few limitations. First there is a 10 seconds lag before your heart rate goes up when pushing harder on the pedals. High intensity short intervals (<30 seconds) use energy without oxygen, with no impact on heart rate. This is why power will be underestimated on short intervals.

Can the app be refunded if it doesn't work?
=> The Playstore can refund your purchase within 24 hours.

Ratings and reviews

Really annoying features that I can't turn off. Frustrating that it seems paying $12 for this half-baked app is the only way I can cast my watch's heart rate monitor to Zwift. Hear are a few points I would really appreciate if improved: - Constant/singular BLE casting name - Ability to turn off always on display (accidental stopping of monitoring is really easy when sweaty) - Ability to cast to Zwift companion app (doesn't work for me at all) The app 'works', but QoL is poor.

I bought this in so that I could broadcast my HR from my Galaxy Watch 6 to my Garmin Edge 130. I've tried all the settings but no joy. The Garmin can't see it. I tried BLE and ant+ turned both on and off. Tried every possible combination. Wear OS doesn't allow turning on background data but I found where it puts apps on a sleep list under battery and devices. Took it off sleep list. Tried everything in the YouTube vid and more but no joy

Was looking to Transmit my Hr From My Galaxy Watch 6 on to my Wahoo Element Roam. This Does just that. There is one downside, I have to repare the app and my Wahoo everytime i finish a workout, the wahoo doesnt find the signal automatically once you restart the wahoo or app. I hope this will be fixed in the future. I always wear my watch and just would hate to have to wear another hr monitor, and im happy this app allows that.
