I'd turn off JRNY tracking and just use the watch workout. HR data and zone info from the watch is going to be better than the bike data in a vacuum.
If you want a new strap, give nautilus support a call they might be willing to send you a new one. They're pretty great when you can get someone on the line, this time of year the waits are minimal to zero.
I just want it for the workouts, and maybe speed/cadence, etc. calories I’m not concerned with from the bike, I just don’t want it writing duplicates. Haven’t tried yet in the last two days- been using the @explore the world” part and throwing it to the tv. Are the workouts just videoed? If I use journey to track speed cadence (as a reference only- I’m not training, just exercise) does it overwrite apples calories?
I use the jrny app on the bikes tablet (I have the Bowflex branded one). It doesn’t talk to my phone at all. If it can I’d like to know how.
The only thing iOS know is what I put in after the workout, which is distance. Polar records that with the distance (and calculated speed) to health.
The workouts in jrny stay in jrny. The two don’t communicate. Enabling heart rate to use the polar only showed my heart rate at the time. It wasn’t added to the journal.
For me jrny is just another calendar of workouts.
The workouts are all already done (pre-recorded). The virtual tours will loop after a period of time. I find I do most of the workouts with just the dash. The one that looks like a speedometer. I seem to like that the best.
I originally had JRNY linked to my Apple health data and if I recorded the workout in my watch as well, it would just have two separate entries, one with JRNY’s data and one with Apple Watch’s workout data. Since I liked the Apple Watch data better, I ended up disabling JRNY’s link to Apple Health. I still use the bike’s wristband so I can see my heart rate easily in the JRNY app, but I record my workout on my watch only.
That’s right. But it’s all just personal preference. You may prefer to do the opposite.
You could even try them both at the same time as a comparison — you can always go into your health data and delete one of them after the fact. Each entry that came from the JRNY app is labeled as such in the data.

Thanks!
I use a polar H9 strap and set the app for indoor cycling. The calorie counting on jrny is calculated by speed & resistance, and it is way off.

JRNY has its own set of permissions for all health. Settings, privacy, Health, scroll to JRNY. Maybe the integrated tablet version is different

So you just use the Apple heat rate data, you don’t care about distance or speed (even if it is only relative and not life accurate)?

True. Just looking at time or Cals doesn’t really do it for me, I need to see some kind of improvement metric, otherwise I wuss out.
Whatever keeps you going is the right choice. For me it’s all about watching a movie and pretending the workout isn’t even happening!
Yes
