Compatible Hearth Rate Sensors - Sony Smartwatch 3

Hi all,
I would like to know who had successfully paired a BT hearth rate belt with the SW3 (in standalone mode)
I want to workout without the needs to carry my phone, but I already tried 3 different sensors from Amazon, each of this failed.
It would be nice to know - who had no issue on pairing and using the sensor - what brand and model of sensor is using.
So far I tried:
- Arendo V2 with Bluetooth Smart 4.0 (No signal, maybe broken)
- Ultrasport textiler - Newco - Bluetooth 4.0 (DOES NOT PAIR)
- SportPlus SP-HRM-BLE-200 (PAIR and work and tested with ghostracer)
I hope my tests can save time and money to others.

How did you try to pair? Are you aware you don't actively pair them, as you would a bluetooth keyboard or earbuds? It's just a matter of the hrm being on, and android wear initiating the connection when an app requests a HRP connection.
see
http://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch-3/general/connecting-hr-band-via-bluetooth-t2935447

Polar H7 and H6 both work flawlessly... But you don't pair them in the BT settings.. Just open the App (Ghostracer for now) and it will detect the HR strap (Only if you are wearing it)

Mio link works with ghostracer.
I'm unaware of any other app that will do this, but I'd like to hear about it if there is another.

Yeah I knew about that. But I couldn't find an app to have those working.
I finally had success with SportPlus SP-HRM-BLE-200 and Ghostracer.

Is it possible to track your Hartrate and listen to music over BT?

My Wahoo Tickr works fine with the watch and Ghostracer.

I use a cheap Goosport hrm I bought on eBay for £10 and it works great with ghostracer. You can use the hrm and headphones at the same time.

Today I successfully paired my Adidas X_cell heart rate band with ghostracer app on my Smartwatch 3.
I only tried if it worked and I still have to go for my first run without a smartphone on my arm, but...it works together with my Deewear FlyOne bluetooth headset.
Using my Runkeeper account to upload Ghostracer data.
I hope I can try this setting "on the field" tomorrow

This looks like the same one I have. It is a bit weird as you don't pair it but the watch finds it when you open ghostracer or another tracking program.

[Q] Sony Smartwatch 2 Bluetooth Issues

So I bought my Smartwatch 2 a few weeks ago (imported it from the UK) and it's great, the only problem is that it interferes with bluetooth music streaming and bluetooth call quality. I have a 2012 Chevrolet with bluetooth for calls and for media streaming, and I have not had any issues with streaming content over bluetooth until I purchased the Smartwatch. I also have an LG G2 on Verizon, and I thought that might be causing the issue, so I isolated the true cause; when I turn off the watch while playing music, the quality instantly improves. Also when I make or receive any calls in my car the quality is so tremendously bad that I can not understand a word of what the other person is saying. If I switch back to the normal handset via the in call menu on my phone, the call quality improves again.
Am I the only one out there with issues like this? And If not, has anyone found a way around this issue or know of what should be done?
(I know this isn't a Q&A forum, but I was not able to locate a section for Q&A on the smartwatch)
Here no problem with the smartwatch 2, htc one and parrot bluetooth car kit. Maybe your phone needs custom kernel or rom for optimised bluetooth emissions.

Sometimes my phone doesn't connect anymore to my car Bluetooth, untill I switch off my watch! When I then switch my watch back on it does not connect to the phone anymore.
This behaviour is intermittent so difficult to troubleshoot. What seems to help is to reboot my phone, so maybe it is phone related (HTC One X+).
I only have problems when I get out of reach BT wise. Mostly they reconnected but when they don't I have to unpair, reboot both and pair from start. Luckily it doesn't happen too often

I have exactly the same problem! I have the note 3 on att and a 2012 Audi Q5. I noticed it was only an issue when I receive a call...and shutting off the watch doesn't help.
I realize that this is because as long as I am on the call, the phone is sending a signal to the watch (keeping the number on the watch face). Even if I turn off the watch, the phone is still sending. The caller's voice is totally garbled. If I turn off the bluetooth, audio quality to the phone is fine. This is a killer for the watch! I can't use it in the car! If it only rang but didn't keep the info on the screen, it would be fine. I wonder if there is an app out there that will buzz the phone when the call comes in but then stop transmitting to the watch.
I guess I could turn off the phone handling app.. but that would defeat the purpose of the watch.
Does ANYONE have an idea how to fix this? I am at my wits' end!

If you mean that you have switched the SW2 completely off, in this case sending is clearly not possible, bluetooth is an handshaked protocol....

I have switched it off.. Eventually the distortion clears. Maybe the interference continues a bit because the car - phone bluetooth connection was somehow altered by the watch transmission?
I don't know how these things work but the distortion of the voice only happens when the watch is connected!
I am amenable to any suggestions.

Probably this is due to concurrent BT connections limitations or reciprocal radio interferences, or to a BT stack overload in one of those devices (likely the phone that has to keep 2 connections going at the same time).

If the source of the problem should lie in the phone BT, the Sony SW2 couldn't be blamed.

not sure what you are saying. I have an issue that has something to do with the watch, phone and car interface. I am looking to the people on this board for suggestions. You telling me that I shouldn't blame the watch and rolling your eyes is not helpful.

My personal advise is that probably the first (and only) workaround to try could be to change or modify the phone that apparently has some problems with double BT connections.

I stream, and take calls in my truck, with no issue in sound quality. How can Sony be blamed... are the supposed to account for every app combination, Bluetooth drivers, roms ect? Now its possible u have a defect.... if it was a detrimental design flaw I think a high percentage of us would experience the same, n that's just not the case....

I totally agree, but for somebody it's apparently too hard to believe...
I have 3 Bluetooth audio devices: car kit, Bluetooth speaker and Bluetooth stereo headphones.
The car kit and speaker work fine when the watch is connected but the headphones (Blueant X5) stutter while playing music and behave badly when trying to talk on a call. If I disable Bluetooth on the watch, it works fine.
I wonder if it's related to the Bluetooth version of the respective devices. Both the car kit and speaker are much newer than the old headphones.
Maybe your issue is similar. Do you have access to another phone you could test the watch against?

I suspect that if a device (for ex. a phone or a headset) hasn't at least Bluetooth version "3.0 + HS" (released in 2009) it's likely to have problems keeping 2 BT connections correctly working at the same time.

The car is a 2011. The watch and phone are state of the art....
I installed call handling pro which allows me to limit the number of seconds the watch displays info on an incoming call. This secondarily limits the time this phone-watch communication disrupts the voice bluetooth communication between phone and car. It has helped. The downside is that, when not in the car, I lose some of the benefit of the watch. I'm ok with the tradeoff. It is a workaround.

[Q] Heart Rate Monitor

I am interested in using the Smartwatch for running as it has GPS and can play music.
What I would like to know is if you can connect a Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor to the watch?
Has anybody tested this yet?
Thanks
At the moment that's not possible.
The only app that works without the phone in "offline" mode for sports is My Tracks from Google. So there is no app to use any Hear Rate Monitor.
The big thing, and I hope it's coming soon is new versions of Runtastic/Runkeeper etc with the same offline mode. Then, may be they let us use chest BT heart rate monitors.
We have to wait.
Question: is it possible to connect HR monitor and Smartwatch (so 2 BTLE devices) to the phone at the same time?
Example: go running, have the phone handle GPS and get heart rate data from a Bluetooth chest strap, and show it on the Smartwatch?
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes. Perfectly possible. Runtastic would show all the info in the watch.
I really hope they add support for untethered mode with SW3. Their wear app is more flexible and better visually than runkeeper.

Cool! Thanks! Will buy it and use it like that with Endomondo until it will be possible to use a Heart rate strap directly with the watch. Don't really need music.
I see Strava has a Android Wear app. Is it possoble to connect i.e. Zephyr HxM Bluetooth Heart Rate belt to this watch?

I'm using a Polar H7 Bluetooth Smart HR strap together with this watch. Using ghostracer app. Works pretty well now.

I am also hoping that it will be possible to connect a chest worn heart rate monitor directly to the watch... I would be lining up to buy the SW3 if that were the case. But without that feature, what function does the watch serve if you still have to lug your phone around?
Second question, people were talking about off line mode above... Does Google Fit work in the so called off line mode??

I've been trying for a few days to get my Polar H7 to connect with my SW3 and I"ve had no success. If I go to Bluetooth devices in Settings, I see it available and sometimes I can get it to pair. However, I've never been able to get it to connect, it's always stuck at Connecting.... I know the HRM works fine, I use it daily. I tried turning the phone off, resetting the watch but no luck. Is there something that I'm doing wrong?
There's no need to pait Bluetooth LowEnergy (BLE) devices. Enable on the phone in settings/AndroidWear/BetaHeartReate. Then simply start Ghostracer and watch the heart symbol turning from grey to white when it is connected to your heart rate strap. That's all. To monitor your HRM frequency use "customise screens" (you need to buy the full version) and add the HRM from data field "sensors".
How did you managed to get the HxM working with GhostRacer or Endomondo on the watch? I'm not sure I get it...
Do you connect the HxM with the Phone or the Watch?
Do you run the app on the phone or on the watch?
So far I tried connecting with the phone, setting it up with endomondo but I don't get the BPM on the watch (altough I do have it on the phone)
I tried pluging it on the phone directly, but Endomondo still doesn't show it...
I tried opening GhostRacer but I don't even get a pace/GPS reading...
I don't have any options to "enable heartrate monitor" under Wearable neither...
If someone would guide me on this, it would be greatly apreciated!

Connecting HR Band via Bluetooth

Thinking about ordering the SmartWatch 3, however the one let down is the lack of heart rate monitor.
Does anyone know if its possible to connect two devices via bluetooth - Headphones and HR band? That way I could leave my phone at home when I go out running.
someone else mentioned using this with the Microsoft band without problem. And I have used each watch I've owned, this one included, along with my car's bt audio at the same time, so I don't see any reason why not. I will have a band myself pretty soon, so I'm hoping I can.
My Motorola hr strap connects along side my Sony ws613 headphones. I dont get heart rate as no apps support it yet but at least they are both connected at once.
Thank you both for your replies.
Guessing its just a case of waiting for an App to come out to view the HR on the watch now.
what about ANT+ protocol?
Theoretically, and off course depending on your headphone set, and HR strap .. you could run the music app via the Bluetooth protocol, to your headphones, and leave the HR monitor running over the ANT+ protocol..
That way you'd leave music playback to the BE alone.
PS : I am also awaiting for that standalone HR function confirmation. That will determine my acquisition of the device. Any news on that front ?
Has anyone tried any ANT+ HR chest-strap..or optic sensor strap?
Afair smart watch 3 does not have ant+ onboard.

It's kind of strange, it stops at "Connecting..." but is really connected. Look at "Unpair devices", if your H7 band shows up there, you are connected. I have not tried pairing two devices at the same time, sorry...
Try "Sports Gear Tracker", not a great app but it will show your heart rate anyway...
My Polar iWL shows up at the "unpair menu" but does not connect to the "Heart Rate - Sport Gear + Wear" app.
I think because my Polar Wearlink+ HRM does not use Bluetooth 4.0 (Smart)
Have to buy a Polar H7 instead... Or does anyone recommend a better one?

Wow, that's interesting! Does the HR data seem like it's being recorded accurately and consistently? Can you please provide some screen shots of this?
HRM Works SW3!
I have a MIO Link Bluethooth 4th HRM Wrist strap. If I install heart rate - sport gear + wear (which has a wear app), get the phone app to recognize the strap, start a workout on phone, disconect it, run the wear app, it detects my Mio link and displays the heartbeat value on the SW3. I then even killed the bluetooth on my phone to kill the wear link and the HR still increased. Its a little finicky, but this is very encouraging! screenshot attached.
It starts at 70, but then varys a little...not as accurate as the phone app as it seems to move around more. However it does increase when i do jumping jacks.
Its a start, not really working, but at least wear can see BT HR monitors in some capacity
H7 Connection
As has been mentioned the Polar H7 says "connecting" but does'nt say connected. It does appear in setting within unpair.
Testing with Sport Gear tracker does provide results though they are vastly out. I have no idea if it is actually reading the H7 and just inaccurately translating the reading or indeed if its just spouting other data.

maybe you can mirrorlink your phone to your tablet? losing control of the tablet though ...
my personal setup right now is a nexus7 (wifi only) with music and offline-navigation connected through AUX/headphone jack and my phone connected via BT to the stereo. i can control the phonebook and dial from the car stereo and of course answer calls with just one button. but the smartphone-part of my oneplus is pretty much useless as long as im driving.

Imagine you have a normal bluetooth stereo in your car. When you get in your car your phone automatically connect. If you receive a call it will come through on the cars speakers. and so on..
Makes more sense?

For my setup, I don't have a normal stereo in my car, my tablet is the stereo, so I need hands free capabilities so my phone can connect to my tablet(Stereo). Since its illegal to be using your phone if it is not connected to handsfree in my country. (New Zealand)

mmhh... nice, but I really dislike the thought of only a software volume... plus no FM is a no-go for me as traffic messages are quite OK here in Germany
But it is a nice project!
Thinking of moving a 1-DIN slot to the central vent for a classic stereo and the install a tab for music and navigation... but I think it's not worth it for my 14year old car

There is hardware volume, the buttons on the steering wheel. They also have next song mute and so on. and you can get FM easily by using this http://www.sdrtouch.com/, you can get a device for about $10 and you can get way more than FM radio, you can get police scanners and so on

I bought the SDR-Touch radio app and it's good for what it does and is still one of a kind for Android.
But the downsides of SDR include somewhat limited audio quality and high CPU and power usage and the related heat.

The the moment no, it only supports Strava, Smash Run, and Runkeeper. Aside from Endomondo, it does do everything you ask otherwise though; i use it with my Polar H7, LG Tone Pros, and record with Ghostrunner.
You can export data to ghostracer and import in endomondo web site manually, in this manner we are also imported data cardio.
Has anyone testes it with jabra sport pulse wireless?

I did, it works as advertised. I only ran with the Jabra's like twice, found them very uncomfortable. They work though.

I run often with jabra sport pulse + ghostracer and I find it VERY good.
The headphones have a very good fit for my ear but you will need to experiment with the sizes of the ear buds and wings to find the size that is good for you.
I leave my phone at home, run, listen to music and record my HR, all from the watch.
When I'm finished, I select 'export' from ghostracer on my phone, then use an app called 'sync my runs' to import that activity in to runtastic. endomondo is an option too.
Is there a solid reason why doesn't this setup work with Endomondo?
Works really well with the Jabra Sport Pulse, and now the Google Fit update allows you to track runs and walks with the built in GPS - does anyone know if we can get the Jabra Pulse to connect to Google Fit for heart rate monitoring? (Google say it can track your heart rate if you have a heart rate monitor on your Smartwatch)
