Garmin HRM-Pro: The Most Accurate, Premium Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap

Gianluca: Ottima fascia per la corsa, da abbinare ad un orologio Garmin .precisa e affidabile. batteria a lunga durata e auto connessione sono i suoi punti di forza.

Unico GROSSO NEO che a mio avviso non è trascurabile e che mi ha spinto a non usarla piu:
Nonostante io la lavi con sapone neutro sotto l'acqua dopo ogni allenamento , la fascia dopo poco ha iniziato a puzzare e ha preso un odore fastidioso che non va piu' via. Cosa che non mi è mai successa con fasce di marca meno blasonate e soprattutto piu' economiche. Dopo mesi che non la stavo piu' utilizzando (sono passato ad una fascia da braccio) sentivo ancora quell' odoraccio. abbandonata.

Sarge: This heart rate monitor works great. I wish the strap was a little bigger. I’m within the size range but it’s a little tight. Garmin does make an extension.

Cycling505: This is the best version yet. The HRM is accurate. The batteries seem to last better and the connectivity is spot on.

Carlos Linares: It stopped working but fortunately, I got my HRM with Amazon and they solved my issue promptly as my experience with GARMIN's Spain CS is simply horrible, it always takes ages to answer (usually more than 1 week). Not to mention that once the goods are sent for repair, it takes ages to return them (I got a Tacx Flux 2 Smart and it was faulty, GARMIN took over 4 weeks to send the replacement).
And yes, I said fortunately as in each weekend of October, I have a different competition (including an Ironman 70.3) and I would have never gotten it back in time if I had waited for the GARMIN Team to solve it. good products awful CS. Thanks AMAZON!

b.: Grundsätzlich funktioniert der Brustgurt wie er soll und fügt sich gut in die Reihe der von mir verwendeten Garmin-Produkte ein. Er wird von der Uhr schnell erkannt und liefert zusammen mit den anderen Sensoren zuverlässige Werte. Auch das initiale Pairing verlief problemlos. Die Batterielaufzeit ist in Ordnung und der Tragekomfort ist bei richtiger Einstellung sehr gut. Insgesamt also ein wirklich gutes Produkt. ABER: ungeachtet der genannten positiven Eigenschaften wurde der Brustgurt in der letzten Zeit immer mehr zum Ärgernis. Trotz ordnungsgemäßer Nutzung und Pflege - ich halte mich in dieser Hinsicht grundsätzlich akribisch an die Herstellervorgaben - entwickelte der Gurt nach ca. einem Dreivierteljahr einen überaus unangenehmen Eigengeruch, der dermaßen stark ist, dass er sogar während des Tragens/Trainings stört. Dieser Geruch geht vom Bereich des Sensors und den Kontaktflächen aus - der längenverstellbare Gurt ist nicht betroffen. UPDATE: Nach dem Kontakt mit dem Support von Garmin über Amazon wurde eine schnelle und kulante Lösung gefunden! Danke. Damit kann ich wieder die vollen Sterne vergeben, da ja die Funktionalität nicht betroffen ist/war.

Mario F.: Funciono perfectamente bien y se enlazo a mi reloj Garmin sin problemas.

Chris and Andrea: Ordered this on a pinch before an Ironman last year. So far I’ve been running this HRM for almost 14 months for all of my cycling and running (approximately 330 hours of use). I only use it for my swims on races (2x70.3 and 1 sprint so far). I have only had to change the battery one time in the time I’ve owned it. Data seems very accurate and the strap is comfortable and holds up. I even throw this thing in the wash with my bike clothes on occasion, and haven’t had any issue (this is not recommended by the manufacturer, but I found it easier). The elastic material seems to be fatiguing slightly on the sides, as it seems creased, but all functions well. I admittedly don't take very good care of this HRM, but it has held up and has been bullet proof to me. My only gripe is that I can’t replace the strap; but I think I have plenty of life left. When it needs to be replaced I will definitely commit to the newer model with the replaceable strap.

Pat L: I have several HR straps, and the Garmin is great when used with Garmin devices. Like the Polar H10, it has great HR accuracy, supports HRV RR.
The Garmin strap has also several features specific to Garmin devices: you can wear it instead of the watch to record your HR, and have synced to the watch later. You can start an activity, take the watch off, and then download the HR to the watch later (useful when the activity makes it cumbersome to wear a watch - think martial arts, for example). The strap also sends running power and pace to the watch, as well as running dynamics. Among the running dynamics features, I found the left/right ground contact balance very useful.
There are 3 drawbacks in my experience, compared with the Polar H10:
- calibrating the strap for pace is not easy, and I didn't manage to do it properly yet. The process works, but when I run again on the same treadmill, the distance is still significantly off, despite the GPS automatic calibration done when running outside, and doing a manual calibration.
- the garmin strap is not as practical. You cannot change it separately. It doesn't stick as well to the skin as the Polar H10. Finally, the closing...

Client d'Amazon: J'ai utilisé cette ceinture cardio-fréquencemètre sur une centaine de sorties de running, elle est absolument parfaite et fiable. A ce jour, elle ne montre aucun signe de fatigue (j'en prends bien soin en la rinçant rapidement sous l'eau après chaque sortie et en la passant au savon toutes les 7 sorties environ selon les recommandations de Garmin).
La connexion avec ma montre Garmin se fait automatiquement dès que la ceinture est portée (sauf la première fois). Il faut humidifier les électrodes pour plus de fiabilité, mais en général ça marche même sans.
Je suis extrêment content de ce produit. Il est juste un peu cher (on paye la marque Garmin).

Je n'ai jamais utilisé la ceinture sous l'eau, donc pas d'avis de ce côté-là.

jane arc: Let's talk about this device. I bought mine seven weeks ago. I have spent something like 50 hours on the bike, 12 hours running, and about 8 hours swimming in that time. I wear a Garmin epix 2, and switching to Garmin from apple because my apple watch was just awful at tracking my swimming. So, the Garmin is better, but it's never been great. On the bike it's pretty good and it talks to zwift and tells my watch what's going on when I'm outside. With runs it's kind of spotty. I think it's great that it just starts talking to the treadmills at the gym (not having to use those handles to get an hr on the screen is great), and it allegedly can tell me things about my stride and cadence which are important to know (also, Garmin used to sell and discontinued a product called a foot pod which you can still buy from Amazon but which is no longer supported, and their software will still sometimes tell you that it has connected to a foot pod when it connects to the HRM pro). But I'm not sure what to do with numbers like vertical oscillation and they're certainly not telling me. The cadence seems to be somewhat accurate but a foot worn sensor would obviously be more accurate.

And then...
