Good upgrade from HRM Pro — works with Fenix 8 with latest software
I upgraded to this device from the HRM Pro partly because it provides a couple of interesting running metrics: avg step speed loss (cm/s) and avg step speed loss %. After about 4 runs, Garmin Connect and your Garmin Watch will show you a “running economy” score based on those metrics (maybe in combination with other factors, not sure). You will see the step speed loss data in Garmin Connect starting with your very first run with the HRM 600 — it’s just the running economy score that requires multiple runs.The other changes from the HRM Pro are the addition of a button and status LED, rechargeable battery; and the sensor module can now be detached from the strap. The button/LED are fine but not essential. I only needed the button for initial pairing. You can push the button to wake the sensor, but it seems to wake up automatically whenever I put it on while wearing my watch. You can also use the button to toggle the connection mode between secure and non-secure, which is not particularly relevant for me. The LED flashes when the sensor is active and has a different pattern depending on whether it’s connected in secure or non-secure mode. The rechargeability and detachability of the sensor are much more useful updates.By the way, my watch is a Fenix 8, and it works flawlessly with the HRM 600. The running economy metrics recorded by the HRM 600 were only available with a couple of newer watches when it was first launched, but many watches are now fully compatible with the HRM600 with the most recent software updates.

Collects the data. Comfortable to wear. Lightweight.
Connects easily. Long lasting battery. Records the data flawlessly. Comfortable to wear, you just don’t know its there when you wear it. Lightweight. Good heart rate monitor. I use this for hitting the heavy bag so I don’t have to put my watch through the shock. I do recommend this product.

This is what the HRM Pro / Pro Plus should’ve been
As a long time fan of Garmin (having had 7 watches and 3 different HRM in the past), this is my favorite HRM, but not surprisingly as it’s also the most expensive.Started out with the HRM Pro a few years ago and the added running metrics were much appreciated. Battery life was rated for 1 year but with my typical use, lasted around 3-4 months. The biggest con I had with that was the need to have a tiny screwdriver around to replace the battery.When I saw the Pro Plus have an easier to change battery compartment I was intrigued. My Pro had stopped working and Garmin was able to replace my Pro with the Plus.The Plus was working well since I got it, it was similar to the Pro, had an easier to change battery compartment, and was familiar.8 month later let’s say the strap started to get worn. Frequent cleaning with soap and water only went so far before it started to get funky. The band started to get stiff. The clasp started to get loose.The HRM 600 with its rechargeable battery and modular design were what should’ve been in the past. Did I like paying so much for a strap? Nope. Also not a fan of not being able to get the new metrics since I don’t have the latest and newest generation of watches.But that one con aside, very pleased with the 600 and hopefully this is the last time I’ll have to buy a HRM.

Nice chest strap but … hard to remove from strap
I got the HRM-600 because it seamlessly complements “both” my watch and the app, offering extra stats or acting as a backup when my watch battery is low. While I also own a Polar H10, it only connects to my watch, making the HRM-600 more versatile.Pros:- USB rechargeable,- Connects to both the Garmin app and watch, ease of use- Added functionality over previous models.Cons:- Average comfort and battery life;- Device-2-strap connection feels too tight raising concerns about its durability- Green light is visible through clothing.I don’t have means to measure accuracy, but I have read great reviews about the Garmin sensors.I’m finding the Device-2-Strap connection uncomfortably tight, which is a major drawback and could ultimately lead to a return. I’ll give it a few more days to see if the fit improves.

Impossible to get off without ruining.
What a piece of junk. I bought it, and it bent taking the plate off. So I sent it back. They replaced it. Then, took it off and the rivet came off rendering it worthless. Needs to be improved before you buy.

Recommend, if you are a serious athlete!
It’s easy to use, connect to app, then wait for it to connect before runs with your watch or use it without it and track results after.The Value for it I suppose it is decent, I would say $100 is a perfect price point.It is comfortable at times but sometimes the edges can rub if your skin is dry at first until you sweat.Accuracy looks pretty good for when I use it indoors on my treadmill, and outdoors it is great as well.I really enjoy it and would recommend to serious runners.

Excelente dispositivo tal como es usual en Garmin, sin embargo la talla es BASTANTE estrecha. Mi recomendación es ir por la talla M-XL para los hombres y S-XS para mujeres (mide 75 cm totalmente extendida).

Fiyat olarak pahalı. Ürün orta kalite tak sök işlemi uğraştırıyor. Daha kompak bir ürün olabilirdi.

Das Produkt ist sehr gut, es zeichnet die Herzfrequenz und auch Laufdaten auf. Die Aufzeichnung kann mit der Uhr oder dem Handy gestartet werden und zeichnet dann auch ohne Verbindung zu den Geräten auf und spielt die Daten dann in die Geräte wenn wieder Verbindung vorhanden ist. Das ist zb für Tennis oder andere sehr intensive Sportarten wo keine Uhr getragen werden will interessant. In der Nach kann der Gurt ohne Uhr getragen werden – es wird dann aber nur die HF gemessen und keine weiteren Schlafdaten – dafür braucht es leider die Uhr. Die Qualität ist gut aber der Empfänger lässt sich am Anfang nicht leicht vom Gurt entfernen was zu den in den anderen Rezensionen beschriebenen Deformationen der Drücker führt – ist aber meiner Meinung nach kein Problem. Man kann sich jedenfalls sicher sein, das sich der Empfänger beim Schwimmen nicht vom Gurt löst. Der Preis ist aber fragwürdig.

Fantastic unit. I’ve owned previous HRM straps – still have the Pro Plus. But this is equally as good with better connectivity. It stays connected with my Garmin watch/head unit.I haven’t yet tried the HRM-only mode though. Expensive? Yes. But if you like data, and train with hearth rate, this is the dogs danglies.
