No proprietary heart rate monitor is required to use the app. Visit this link to purchase discounted Wahoo and Scosche in bulk for your studio.

Bluetooth and ANT+

There are two signals that heart rate monitors send out — Bluetooth and ANT+. Depending on the manufacturer, some only send a Bluetooth signal (eg. Polar) and some only send an ANT+ signal (eg. Garmin).

The Wahoo TICKR and Scosch Rhythm+ are dual signals because they send both a Bluetooth and ANT+ signal.

The iPad and iPhone only have Bluetooth hardware, meaning they can’t connect to ANT+ only monitors without additional hardware. To connect to ANT+ monitors you must purchase our WiFi Bridge (antenna), which receives the heart rate data and sends it to the iPad/iPhone over your WiFi. Contact support@onbeat.fit to learn more about purchasing the ANT+ antenna.

This link provides a list of over 75 ANT+ monitors that are compatible with OnBeat. All ANT+ monitors will work with OnBeat, so contact us if you don’t see your monitor on the list.

Garmin

Most Garmin smartwatches such as the Fenix, Vivosmart, and Vivoactive broadcast an ANT+ signal which is compatible with OnBeat using our antenna (sold separately). To enable ANT+ broadcasting in the watch, to Settings > Sensors or Heart Rate > Broadcasting > Select OK.

FitBit and Apple Watch

OnBeat does not currently work with FitBit or Apple Watch. The FitBit does not allow third-party apps to receive real-time heart rate data. The Apple Watch is only able to connect to a person’s personal phone. If this changes, we will be sure to integrate with them.
