Lowest price ever?

For serious athletes this is far superior to the optical monitor on your watch.

This is the PLUS model where they finally fixed the battery compartment to where you can open/close it without tools and without leaks and without it failing in a year

(Garmin will swap out up to 1 year but be sure to open a ticket with them if you sense any problem at all in the 12th month!)

It can connect both via ANT+ and Bluetooth (at the same time) though you only get running dynamic via ANT+

It can also act as a simulated foot pod for speed and distance for indoor running or when the weather is so bad outside the GPS is unreliable.

It is waterproof but if you do flip turns in a pool it will pull the strap out too much, really only open water swimming for this model.

There is a download feature that works only with Garmin watches to where if the strap disconnects during an activity like swimming, it can still save the heartrate data (also works with running/cycling).


Make sure the seller is Amazon, other sellers seem to be piggybacking onto the price

Great strap, battery is finally replaceable without killing the device. Have used every major brand out there -Polar, whoop, Fitbit, etc- and this is the best. Garmin app has great free running programs, the data is consistent (who knows if truly accurate), and easy to use. Use it for running, BJJ, and lifting. Useless for swimming if you do wall kicks as it comes off.
I have this and it's fairly comfortable for what it is- an annoyance around your chest.

But if you want accurate numbers this is a must have. I have a top of the line epix pro 2 and it still is not close to as accurate as the strap.

This is a really nice chest strap if you are in the Garmin ecosystem. I think I paid $97

Do you need to have a Garmin watch to use this monitor? Im seeing this paired often with Garmin watches so haven't seen opinions to suggest it working on others

I have a Samsung Galaxy watch 6 that I use for my fitness tracking.

Anybody know if this strap would be compatible with Life Fitness treadmills and Keiser exercise bikes at the gym? Currently I use a Polar chest strap there, but would be nice to have one strap that works with both those machines and my Garmin 235 watch that I use when running outside.

While I can't speak to those brands, my HRM-Pro, which also has Bluetooth LE and ANT protocols works fine with my Sole treadmill, so I expect it would work with Life Fitness and Keiser. I mostly use it with my Garmin watches. I agree it is a great device. Comfortable. Replaceable battery. Has held up well for a couple years now. In my experience, wrist based heart rate is still not great. If you are serious about HR training, get a strap.

You will not get the garmin running dynamics.

It will just be a "dumb" HRM strap.

Even the download features won't work.

The one really stupid thing about the Garmin straps is they must be started with a watch or phone to start the memory recording feature.

Unlike the wahoo tickrX which can start by itself without a watch/phone

However the wahoo notoriously breaks all the time and is inaccurate, bad reviews on amazon.

I read on the forums that the Samsung Watch will not recognize the HRM. It appear that it will work with Google fit with your Samsung phone.

Yes, it must be started with the watch, but personally not a problem for me.
The strap goes on right before a run and I have to start the recording on my watch anyways for it to start recording regardless of whether I have the strap or not.

Connection between watch and strap is seamless and reliable. I wish I could say the same about the watch to my Bluetooth headset.

I have a more generic version of this (just a black piece) for cycling. How is this different?

Thanks, picked one up. Still using the old HRM3 version. This should work well with my Fenix 7 watch.

Thanks for posting OP!

For anyone looking for an alternative to chest strap heart rate monitors, the optical arm band options are very accurate and a lot more comfortable in my experience.

Couple optical HR armband options:

Polar Verity Sense - https://a.co/d/6cPNoFI

Polar OH1 (older version but still very accurate and not many differences from Verity Sense although VS prevents flipping on your arm better) - https://a.co/d/bQkh3dB

Good review comparing various watches, armbands, and chest straps - https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2021/...eview.html
