Quick Compatibility Check

• Garmin: Your device must support Connect IQ Data Fields and the native activity you plan to use (for example: Indoor Bike, Elliptical, Row Indoor, Treadmill).
• Equipment: Your machine must support FTMS over Bluetooth. (Most modern smart trainers and many newer machines do.)
• Try it first: Install and test in free mode to confirm it connects and shows metrics on your watch.

If you’re unsure, follow the Setup & Installation Guide — it walks you through adding a data field to a Garmin activity and connecting to your equipment.

Choose Your Machine Type

Each machine type has a tailored page with screenshots, supported metrics, and setup notes.

How It Looks on Your Watch

Here are examples across the FTMS suite. Apps support six metrics per page.

Note: Exact layouts and available metrics depend on your device model and what your machine supports in the FTMS standard.

Key Features

• Monitor Real-time metrics from your machine (power, cadence, speed, incline, resistance — machine-dependent)
• Create Dynamic Training Profiles for structured workouts (intervals, pyramids, hills, and more)
• Record metrics into Garmin Connect so your session contain the data
• No ads and we do not sell personal information

Customizable Dynamic Training Profiles

If your equipment supports controlling settings over Bluetooth, you can leverage Dynamic Training Profiles to customize your training experience. Create your own profiles customized for your equipment to perform intervals, pyramids, hills, and more.

Try Free, Unlock for Full Sessions

You can install and use the FTMS data fields in a free trial mode, limited to the first 10 minutes of each activity. During that time, all features are available so you can verify compatibility and performance with your equipment.

When you’re ready to remove the time limit, unlock via an annual subscription handled securely through Gumroad. The process is simple: Purchase → receive a license key → request an unlock code → enter it in Garmin settings.

Tip: The fastest path is to install and test first. If it connects and shows the metrics you want, then unlock.

What These Data Fields Do

These FTMS data field applications let your Garmin device connect to FTMS-compatible bikes, ellipticals, rowing machines, stair climbers and steppers, and treadmills. The apps collect supported metrics from your equipment and display them on your watch while recording them into your Garmin activity.

The exact metrics available depend on your machine and what parts of the FTMS Bluetooth standard it implements (for example: some devices support incline control or power targets, while others do not).

Setup, Profiles, and Help

Installation

Garmin data fields run as a screen inside native Garmin activities (like Indoor Bike, Elliptical, Row Indoor, or Treadmill). If you’re new to configuring data fields, follow the setup guide first — it will save you time.
