Great HR monitor.
Much better accuracy with the HRM 200 vs the wrist based monitor. This is a must have for anyone who is serious about their training. The HRM provides a much higher level of responsiveness than a wrist based monitor, especially when on hills and/or running outside in cold weather. Eye opening for HR training. Super easy to set up and pair with everything. I don’t run wi...

Warranty replacement - not the newest
My HRM 100 did not connect, lost connection with the Garmin and my phone. Garmin offered to assist, replace with an HRM 200 - but it was on a ship. The HRM 200 arrives and its the old version with the battery not the newest rechargeable version. Needless to say, the replacement has the same issues as the first. Drops in an out of connecting.

Mainly for indoor bike training with zwift
It pairs seamlessly with what I need it to pair with. I had to switch channels for zwift to pick it up, but once it paired I was off to the races.

This heartrate monitor offers flexible activity tracking! You can go phone-less or computer-less. It's rechargeable which is a game changer. No more pesky battery changes

'Works' but not perfect
Yes, it detects and broadcasts my HR, and it was easy to pair with my Vivoactive 6 and iphone. But it simply can't keep up with a rapidly increasing HR, such as at the start of a high intensity interval during a HIIT session. Instead, it loses track of the HR and simply broadcasts junk data, often for a couple of minutes before finally recovering. The only way to avoid ...

Mostly great
I have had this for a few months and it measures my heart rate accurately. It stays connected to my Edge 830 when cycling but occasionally drops the connection with my Feniz 6 Sapphire watch for a few seconds— not sure why. I have tried all of the recommended fixes and none work. Stays connected as long as my watch is in front of my body. And only drops for a few se...

çok kaliteli
Ürün Türkiyede çok pahalı ama eski kalp monitörlerine göre, çok daha kaliteli. Kalp sensörünün girişinde bulunan metal uçlar, ter gelmeyecek şekilde iyice içeri gömülmüş. Bu da metal uçların, etrafının paslanmasını engelleyecektir diye düşünüyorum.

Solid Feedback
Strap is comfortable and holds up well in longer runs. The feedback is really steady compared to the classic wrist monitors.

Set up easy
So far this heart rate strap has been really consistent and after about 20 uses no smell whatsoever. I just rinse it out. Let it hang dry and it’s happy. So far the heart rate and variability has been consistent across both my Garmin and Apple Watch and its connection has been really solid with my cycling computer, a Garmin 840 solar. If you just need to add heart rate ...

A good upgrade from the Dual
I have had a number of Garmin chest straps, and they have been decent. I really like the new HRM 200. Having a button that can turn it on as soon as you put it on is great. This has reduced the annoyance for me of having to wet the strap, or do all kinds of other things to confirm it is on before I start training. I am liking the bluetooth LE vs ant+ just to allow data ...

Great HRM
Chest strap to get more precise data than my watch. Used on a few runs so far. Very comfortable, hardly notice it’s there. Data is accurate and precise, better at picking up quick changes than my watch. Plan to swim with it as well, will update here.

Good
My wife gave it to me as a gift. It works well, but on my long runs, I think for woman will get you some marks.
To me always leaves a chafing rash, no matter how much I apply anti-chafing balm. I wish they sale the strap like the HRM-FIT that could be so worth it.

Good basic hear rate monitor
Works well and accurately, no missed data over 5+ hour rides or training runs. Takes a bit to get situated in terms of proper size. Used for over 40 hours of training so far, and has had no drops from any Garmin product, or Suunto product, even in high temperature days with lots of sweat and sun. So far no issues or interactions with sun screen or other materials, clean...
