Heart Rate the Easy, Accurate Way
This premium heart rate strap transmits real-time heart rate data over ANT+® connectivity and BLUETOOTH® Low Energy technology, giving you more training options. Consistently receive accurate heart rate on your Garmin device, in online training apps such as Zwift or even the compatible fitness equipment at the gym.

Track Running Dynamics
In addition to heart rate, HRM-Pro captures running dynamics that can help you improve your form. That includes metrics such as vertical oscillation, ground contact time, stride length, vertical ratio and more.

Store and Forward Your Data
The device stores heart rate data during swimming or other activities while your watch is out of range, then sends that data to your watch once the activity is finished. It will also store steps, calories, and intensity minutes, then sync them to your watch as well.

Comfort and Convenience
HRM-Pro features a small, lightweight heart rate monitoring module that is no wider than the width of the soft, comfortable strap. And don’t worry about running out of juice. The user-replaceable coin cell battery lasts for up to one year.

        So this is compatible with Apple health? Can use with the regular apple watch?

        • TightTerry on 17/10/2022 - 09:58

          Yes but you need to sync from garmin/strava into apple health which is easy to do - i dont think you can go direct to apple health

    Great price. The newer HRM Pro Plus isn't available to buy from Oz stores as the battery compartment doesn't need a tool to open. So no longer meets our standards (battery choking hazard). Firmware update to the Pro gives you all the Plus features.

      Thanks for the explanation, I have been waiting for the pro plus!

  • titus on 15/10/2022 - 20:24

    Am thinking of getting one of these or something similar. I have a garmin watch so if I link this to it, what happens to the wrist-based heart measurements and other wrist-based metrics. Does this chest strap replace those measurements or does the wrist-based metrics still run alongside the strap metrics in parallel? Anyone know?

    • MrBr0 on 15/10/2022 - 20:35
      +10

      Yes, the watch stuff turns off and the HRM takes over. It will only do this during a recorded activity otherwise the wrist measurements will be recorded

      If you don’t have a Garmin watch you will only get the HRM part all the other metrics will not be available.

      A polar is a better option for non Garmin owners. There are heaps of complaints about this model not working properly after a battery replacement. Garmin seem to replace the device without issue.

      I have a Garmin watch and recently purchased a Polar H10 which works perfectly and is very comfortable. At this price if you have a Garmin watch this deal is hard to go past

      No. You can connect it to your phone and have the HR recorded on the Stava app for example.

    This or Polar H10?

    • callumds on 16/10/2022 - 07:47
      +3

      I got a Polar H10 because the strap itself has better reviews for comfort and durability. But the biggest reason is that the Polar "brain" can be taken off the strap, so you can clean the strap properly, but also if the strap breaks you can buy another one for cheap. If your strap breaks with the garmin HRM pro, you have to buy a whole new garmin HRM pro.

      The only thing is that if you have a garmin watch, you can get all the run dynamics data. I decided that I wouldn't actually do anything different with the data it would give me, so I went with Polar.

    I'm a keen cyclist. But struggling to see the advantages of this unit over….say….the much cheaper HRM straps….like the Magene branded ones from Ebay & AliExpress? I ride 15k-20k kms a year and the Magene gives me all the data I need. Think I paid about $29😅

    What am i missing here?🙏

    • G-rig on 16/10/2022 - 01:17

      I still got a Garmin one which is fine, only ant+ no Bluetooth. I thought I saw the wahoo chest strap for a pretty good price on Amazon too. In don't bother using it anyway, but guess I would again when get more serious. Got a Fitbit that tracks data 24/7 anyway.

    • botchie on 16/10/2022 - 07:27

      For a bike the watch will give you acurate enought measurements, this is good for running and sprints etc

      • JeBs on 16/10/2022 - 08:56
        +2

        I disagree. Whilst cycling, I noticed my Garmin Venu at times was off by 50+ bpm, compared to the Garmin HRM Dual strap. I would say for cycling specifically, the watch is extremely inaccurate to the point of being useless.

        I have observed this behaviour on multiple occasions.

        Further, the strap will take heart rate measurements at one second intervals during sleep whereas the Venu (and other watches) use intervals at least 60 times longer to conserve battery. However during exercise, the sampling for both is multiple times per second.

        In terms of accuracy, the strap is the only solution.

    • StalkingIbis on 16/10/2022 - 10:17

        Most serious amateur cyclists wear a HR strap synced to their Bike computer. Very few wear a watch to record their data, the questions is about this particular strap versus a cheap HR strap.

        • G-rig on 16/10/2022 - 13:43

          Yes they work well with the head units, most cyclists don't have a Garmin watch but runners and tri nerds do.

          I just recommend Bluetooth if running indoor Zwift too, ant+ only is difficult with PC connection.

          Anyway up to you if you if want to spend the extra over the basic wahoo one

        • HappyPants on 16/10/2022 - 18:57

          Thanks for seeing where I was coming from! Literally thrilled with my Magene. It is Bluetooth and Ant+ and has not missed a beat. Its very accurate and it was very cheap. I just was wondering what the advantage was with this strap. I love my gadgets but at the end of the day, a heart rate strap is a very basic piece of equipment.

            @HappyPants: I am looking at finally moving away from watch to bike computer and I too don't see the cost benefit for going Garmin. The Magene and coospo stuff gets good reviews at a fraction of the cost. I get that their sensors may be slightly better, but I don't think they are 5x the price better

      Agreed. I’ve had Garmin and Polar HRM straps and haven’t noticed any practical difference to the $35 “coospo” one from Amazon I’m using now. Providing you can forgive the weird brand name why pay 3 times more?

        This thing measures cadence, vertical oscillation, ground contact time, left to right balance, and a bunch of stuff the strap you mentioned would not measure. Some people want those features and are willing to pay for them!

        • Commenter on 16/10/2022 - 18:26

          Cadence is by the watch and not using strap.

    Doesn't seem to be convenient to use everytime going to Gym. In addition, most of the smartwatches do a similar job and provide analytical information. I have a Fitbit Sense 2 and don't think it would add a significant value.

    • callumds on 16/10/2022 - 07:53
      +3

      It's targeted at running, swimming, cycling (i.e. triathletes), where you want more accurate HR data than the optical HR readings that sports watches provide. I do all my marathon/half-marathon training by HR, so having more accurate HR makes a difference, particularly in interval sessions where you have spikes and then big drops in your HR quickly, it can take optical HR readers a little bit to adjust to the quick changes in HR.

      I agree, it wouldn't be that useful for a gym session over a smart/sports watch.

      • alan737 on 16/10/2022 - 07:55

        Wouldn't it be annoying having this strap for marathon/ half marathon?

          Not at all. It's fine in my experience. You don't notice it.

        • callumds on 18/10/2022 - 09:09

          Sorry, forgot to hit reply when I original saw your comment.

          I don’t use it for races, just training, but I know that people do use it for races when they heavily monitor their HR during a race or want really accurate HR data to look at after the race.

  • dan76n on 16/10/2022 - 07:21
    +3

    I have one of these and have had no issues to date. Had it for around 2 years now. Changed battery and no issues.
    The update allows you to track pace which once calibrated is spot on. I prefer it for current pace as GPS from the watch can fluctuate a bit.
    I find the HR for running is more reactive than the optical hr on my watch but otherwise the optical is fine. Optical tends to lag a bit which is really only noticeable on hills or sprints. Surprisingly the win for HR monitoring for me is on the MTB. Optical just doesn’t seem to work when I’m riding. Always reads well below actual. The chest strap works perfect.
    If you aren’t a data geek then using just the watch is sufficient but if you like having as much data as possible attached to your activities then I’d grab one, especially while on sale as they don’t discount them too often.

    • eraser215 on 16/10/2022 - 17:04
      +1

      That most recent update detects the device as both a strap and foot pod. Is that what enables the pace detection?

      • dan76n on 16/10/2022 - 17:19
        +2

        Correct.
        I was using a foot pod but now don’t bother as the chest strap does the job.

      Here's an awesome alternative. Had mine for a few years, i think its an older model, and it still functions perfectly, for what I need as a cyclist anyway, synced to Garmin bike computer. Highly recommended.

    I'm on my second one, garmin replace the first one after water got inside (had never open it, srill using genuine battery)and stopped working.
    You need to rinse it everytime you use, plus soak it if you use in pool water.
    Unlike other garmin HR, this doesn't detach from the elastic.
    Accuracy and additional metric is great, plus ability to store data and download it to the watch after being disconnected.

    • Commenter on 16/10/2022 - 18:29

      You need to wash it after 7 times of usage. It is on the strap with a picture.

  • zbc on 16/10/2022 - 11:22

    This is an excellent price for the Pro, but depending on your usage case you can probably get by with a more basic strap.

    Having two Bluetooth plus unlimited ANT+ connections is great if you have, say, a complex Zwift setup or some devices that only support Bluetooth. But you can get by with the HRM-Dual (< $90) for that purpose.

    If you have a Garmin watch then combining two sources of HR data (wrist-based optical plus chest strap) will record respiration rate data for your workout. But this should work with most any strap that will talk to the watch.

    Finally, if you are THAT type of buff dude who insists on running topless along the beach, then either this or the Wahoo seem to be the only straps worth being seen in.

    DCR review is here: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2020/09/garmin-hrm-pro-chest-str…. Bottom line is that it is great, but only essential if you are already in the Garmin ecosystem and want the offline recording capability. Otherwise, it's just a nice to have.
