Simple and effective
Does everything I need a HRM to do - provide steady data and fade away after I put it on my chest. If you need more features, there are other more expensive models, but for a low-profile, comfortable, affordable example to pair with your Garmin watch - this is it!

unable to connect it to the Garmin Fenix 7
I bought it less than a year a month ago and this is my second HRM 200, that said this one has not worked at all. I have done all the recommended things to connect it and have not done so. Very disappointed!

Good chest strap
Took a minute to get it connected to Garmin EPIX watch but seems to work well. More consistent reading than previous strap

HRM 200 shows red light even after 2 battery chang
Doesn’t work. Keeps showing red light and doesn’t measure heart rate accurately. I bought it for tracking when I row. It doesn’t work.

so far, so good
Purchased the HRM200 because my Garmin Instinct 2 Tactical/solar does not reliably record my HR when I an exercising, especially when cycling. This is really annoying because it adversely affects other parameters like HRV and VO2.
It required no less than 20 attempts to synch with my watch which was frustrating; it synched easily to the Garmin app and provides an ac...

Excellent HRM
Guys when it comes to measuring your HR with accuracy this is it! I have used many many devices before but this one is spot on - whether you are training to climb a big intimidating mountain, or training to do Ironman, or even a marathon or long bike ride at measured pace. This is it. I loved how it took my data to give my accurate assessment on performance, recovery ti...

Very satisfied
It would’ve been a big help to me if, when I completed the steps required to connect the HRM to my Venu 4 it was CONFIRMED that the HR data was in fact originating from the HRM
I had to assume it was connected and functioning correctly

Easy HR monitor
I needed a new HR monitor. Going with Garmin seemed the way to go as my experience with Garmin has always been good. Here are the positives. First, it pairs easily with my Garmin Fenix 7 watch and my Elite HRV app. I am 6' and 180lbs. The M-XL fits fine with plenty of adjustment and is as comfortable as expected. It seems like the battery life is good based on the spec...

HRM 200 pairing with Venu watch - Good Luck!
The hrm200 was ridiculously difficult to pair with the venu 2s watch. Took me an hour, much advice from AI, and only paired after I tried again after an hour long bike ride. If I had to do it again, frankly, I wouldn’t. You should not sell products that don’t work well together. Really ruins the Garmin reputation. If you think this is an isolated incident, you should...

Very erratic
First couple of months the hrm 200 was fine. Now the readings are very erratic. During gym workouts it fluctuates from 147 to 64 heart beat, and that's with me just standing still looking at my fenix 8. Sometimes it will just seem like its stuck at a very high heart beat without me doing any activities. I've tried unpairing, new batteries, tightening the chest strap but...

Love the data and accuracy of this strap. Pair it with one of the upper tier watch models and you'll have a much better picture of your training. You can use it without a watch if you feel like taking a break from your gear and access it after an activity which is a nice feature. Battery is rechargeable but doesn't last as long as previous models which lasted for what s...

Heart Rate Spikes
The monitor gives several incorrectly high readings for short periods of time during an activity. The attached graph was recorded while riding an indoor bicycle trainer at constant resistance and cadence. I always wet the strap before I put it on and it is correct for a while. The errors always occur after I am warmed up and sweating. It was connected to a fenix 6 watch...

Buckle Needs Improvement
The heart rate monitor is great. I would give it 5 stars if the buckle on the strap didn't rub my skin raw no matter where I place the buckle. I'm still using it just not as frequent as I would like. It's unfortunate but it is what it is.

Not enough feedback
As far as I can tell, this HR monitor becomes the live "HR" display during an activity. However, it does not have its own app that will show you detailed HR monitoring feedback live during an activitiy unlike other watch brands and apps (e.g., Polar). More advanced monitors appear to have more detail recorded during an activity but these too don't appear to be available...

Great! Broke my cadence lock
I was suffering from cadence lock and switching to an independent heart rate monitor fixed that for my tracking. Wearing it took a little getting used too, I still have to remember to put it on. But its been easy to adap mt to part of my running routine.

I really enjoy this product, particularly for its ease of use and connectivity. I have had no problem connecting it to my Garmin watch, bike computer, and Zwift. It's great to be able to use this instead of my watch while riding; it's much more comfortable than riding with the watch. The strap is easily detachable from the unit for washing.

Does exactly what I need
Pairs up easily with my watch and app, accurate heart rate regardless of what cardio I'm doing. Easy on and off, the LED indicators are nice so that you know that it's actually on.

Garmin product is usually on point but this HRM strap is not up to par: it synchronized with my Garmin but the data was all over the map - it had my heart rate crazy low and then crazy high doing a steady state ride on the indoor trainer. I rinsed the strap in warm water just prior to the ride and had the strap quite snug (almost uncomfortable). I tried it all and it...
