Do not buy
I recently bought the HRM 600 to use with my Forerunner 265S and was excited to start using it but, unfortunately, the HRM 600 won't stay connected to the watch for more than 30 seconds. I was able to pair the devices (after waiting over an hour for software updates to finish downloading) but the watch basically loses the connection every time I connect them after less...

So far the best
I really like it over the other, I think is better measuring indoor speed and others metrics also the concept of battery charging also way better if the strap get damage is more easy to replace

Heart monitor 600
I love the fit and the accuracy of the heart rate. The small fits me perfect and does not move or slide down

Great Features
I purchased this last year and they were on back order but the wait was well worth it.

Best band
I have been using this band for over a month while running and biking without any issues. This was an upgrade from my older band that used to work with batteries. This new band uses usb c and connects super fast

Missing Ski power
A step back after using HRM Pro. Missing key functions like Ski Power

doesn't hold connection
I am extremely disappointed with the HRM 600. It simply will not maintain a connection with my Fenix 8 Solar or my iPhone 15 Max. Maybe I don't know what I am doing, but this is not my first rodeo with Garmin. HCJr

Good Upgrade
I got this for christmas and its a nice product - loving the rechargeable. However, I’ve been noticing on long runs that it will disconnect for about 30 seconds and then reconnect.

Love it.
I’ve had several versions of GARMIN’s heat rate monitor and this is by far the best most capable yet. Being able to wash the strap is perhaps my most favorite update aside from the additional running dynamics information.

New HRM 600-so far so good
My 3 year old HRM Pro Plus stopped working (likely due to my sweat and overuse) and they don't make them any longer. I saw that the HRM600 was the newest model. It's almost like they went back to the past as this one has a snap in module similar to what I had way back when with the HRM Dual (which still works, but didn't have all the newer features). In any event, I r...

Old man needs accurate HR monitor
Seems to be just what I needed. I can now trust the heart rate recorded for my workouts. I tend to run to achieve a given heart rate for my runs. The HRM 600 gives me the confidence that I am getting accurate readings.

Finally rechargeable
Very happy to have a rechargeable HRM. The manual is terse. Says to refer to other devices on how to pair which makes it frustrating to have to dig out an owner’s manual from 2 years ago when these didn’t exist. Trial and error method is easier.
Wish they could just make it readable in one source.

Last time using garmin
After spending 2 hours today looking for my HRM I realized that this is a constant thing with HR monitors even in the best of times I still probably spend 5-10 minutes a week just looking for my HR monitor and this is time I could spend running so when I am running I kind of expect it to be accurate on treadmills so I can get good running stats and it would also be nice...

Not overly impressed
Bought this HRM 600 with hopes of using my garmin 530 to stream my heart rate live to ensure I stayed in specific zones during training rides, but after more than 6 attempts with my garmin 530 and 10 attempts to use while on trainer streaming to my iPad separately, I have failed to see the data properly. (It so small and insignificant on garmin connect app when it does ...

Replacement for HRM-PRO; a few improvements
This was purchased as a replacement for an HRM-PRO that started to exhibit the same failure mode every Garmin strap I've ever had eventually has -- it posts up heart rate readings at the start of an activity that are literally impossible (e.g. 220) and in a short time, usually within a minute or less, it settles down and then reads correctly. Its not the strap and washi...

Must have add on product!
I've been using Garmin products for years and this HRM is a must have addition to any compatible watch or bike computer. With the convenience of having a rechargeable battery and continuous tracking, it gives you the comfort to know that you can keep your mind on your race or training rather than worrying if this product isn't tracking your every move. If you're looki...
