Those workouts include a wide variety of intensities and conditions, making them great for accuracy testing. Where do you see that? Will it defer to the HRM-Pro for both? You’d have an upload in Strava from the watch, and all your daily metrics accounted for in Garmin Connect. Any guidance which one to choose? I’ve been pretty good with this strap design through multiple battery changes (mainly on my HRM-TRI, which I used a moderate amount for years). I hope the Suunto’s part of strap patent does not include material quality, as Sunnto Smart Sensor was for me the least standing HR belt, as it stopped measure reliably after ~4 months of 10hrs/week usage, and every fiend I know has problem with HR spikes using SSS. Answering my own questions ?60beat app will do the trick and allows for customizing HR zones. If I like to wear a “real” watch to work and my Fenix 6X at home will the new strap keep my body battery and breath widget updated in the Connect app? If you don’t need that, and are purely focused on running, then there’s no real difference at this point. The Pro is having serious issues downloading HR data from the strap. I am also keep using Tickr X until Garmin release a better version. With that, onto the review! One weird question – are the colored pieces interchangeable between Garmin straps? Resets don’t work. Oh, and as usual I’ll send this media loaner back in a pile of gear to them shortly, and if you found this review useful you can hit up the links at the end of the post which help support the site. But if you’re a Garmin user and looking for those added features, Garmin delivers that in one package now. And to compliment that, here’s The Girl’s (my wife’s) list. Such a waste. However, once you stop the watch and start to save the activity it’ll go off and find its friend, HRM-PRO: Then it’ll start downloading the heart rate file from the strap: This usually takes 5-10 seconds. Respiration rate comes from the chest strap too: And then here’s another set from my run a few minutes ago (paired to FR745), note here that respiration rate isn’t on the FR745 (an interesting tidbit I didn’t notice till now): Whether or not you find value in the Running Dynamics metrics is up to you. Exactly my question! In the event of a cache’d workout, are running dynamics data logged? The RD info it won’t of course, because the Vivo lineup doesn’t support Running Dynamics. I have a Garmin Venue Watch. While the strap is constantly broadcasting, your watch isn’t hearing it. “I’m using the new FR945” I think you mean 745? I cant seem to imagine why Garmin and Polar get this way with the people that actively use these devices almost every day.. straps fail.. I have had to take the TICKR X mid-run more times than I have completed a run with it. When is the updated Garmin footpod coming out??? Getting the Running Dynamics bits comes with the territory, but of course Garmin has other offerings if you want just that piece (the RD-POD). Every single one failed after I changed the battery. Here’s a bunch of random trip reports and daily trip-logs that I’ve put together and posted. This is a 9-mile long run from a few weeks ago, just cruising along at a relatively easy pace. if I was doing crossfit and started an activity on my instinct but left it in my gym bag out of range. Are there any plans from Garmin to release the HRM-PRO (and all the other HRMs as well) not as a strap (like the OH1)? horse riding. So for example, as a quick test I just wore the HR strap while doing some clean-up around the office. Hi… I’ve just received the HRM-Run as a Christmas present. Hmm, that’s odd. would be interesting compared to OHR measurment? Does this wash/clean up any better. I have this exact same issue with the HRM-RUN strap, it smells absolutely awful after couple of years of use even though washed regularly and nowadays after every run. thanks Jason. A fixed transmitter antenna eliminates the threat of a lost or broken antenna while delivering up to 3/4-mile range. Yes, that’s needed, but the issue is that the electronics get fried and the battery drains constantly / the HR is reported at maxed out 227bpm regardless. My understanding is priority is for the watch for activity tracking data. D) It also sends more information about the sensor to the watch. The main issue is specifically when you push off the way (turns or flips), the water pressure is significantly greater, and I’ve never been able to keep any strap there for more than a few laps (except the HRM-SWIM). The watch will not find the HRM-run or –tri even if the same sensor is stored on your device. Hi DC Rainmaker, when you pair the HRM PRO with the Zwift app, and upload the Zwift workout to your Connect Garmin, does it give a change to the training effect? Are you willing to review or test beta products? Thanks. Ray always excellent reviews, unfortunately Polar is the only one that’s will be compatible with most of the gym equipments and work with every brand, Wahoo is second while I use Garmin but I always have polar H10 while traveling. But wait, are you a female and feel like these things might not apply to you? Save $50 and get any of the basic heart rate strap options – since that’s the only capability those watches can leverage from this strap. Whereas after any normal swim you should rinse it off in regular water. Would really like to find where these can be acquired, or something to take its place. The FR230 doesn’t support Running Dynamics, so that’s your limiter there unfortunately. No, it doesn’t have ANT+ to BLE bridging in it unfortunately – just dual transmission of HR (both ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart). Buy Garmin Multi Sport Watches with GPS connectivity, long battery life, friendly features and customized screens. No problem, the product comparison data is constantly updated with new products and new features added to old products! Thank you for the excellent review, as always! (If I was geeky enough to wear it all day at work, which as a Science teacher I certainly am! “And then using a small screwdriver to remove the two screws.” It looks like there are four screws? Hi! Correct, and, if you’re phone is within range here and there, that’ll offload as you go past it. That’s because in the pool the chest strap will often get pushed down when doing a flip/open turn off the wall (especially a flip turn), eventually ending up on your waist. Actually – maybe one – some training apps don’t fully support the appended HR data (the way its structured in the file). The assumption being that people aren’t wearing strap and watch at the same time, unless in an activity (which, is kinda logical), in which case you’d have it paired to the watch. Oh, I’m sorry…. Thinking about getting Vivoactive 4 or new Venu. However, one HRM is dead and the battery cannot be replaced because the head on one of the screws got stripped. Vertical Osc. In addition, this strap works with Garmin’s Running Power Data Fields, assuming your watch is compatible. Anyway, I did a comparison a few years ago with HRV sampling via ANT+ across half a dozen devices concurrently, but not side by side with ANT+/BLE from the same sensor to see how that looked. Q. I’m sure my girls will love it . The advantage of the integrated design is that you have to buy the whole thing instead of just buying a replacement strap and keeping the pod. Can we say that it is true for the Garmin HRM-PRO but for the Polar H9 for example that’s doesn’t have Run Dynamics or data offload support, Bluetooth is better? Ir slsi which other garmin strap could be used for this. So you can at least transmit your HR data to both the Garmin watch and the indoor cycling app concurrently. Out of stock. Next, let’s switch gears and look at an indoor workout on Zwift. Long story short I don’t like either unit for power. And as always, feel free to post comments or questions in the comments section below, I’ll be happy to try and answer them as quickly as possible. At least I know I’m not crazy. I’m a Garmin user, with a watch and a cycling computer, that runs, swims and rides, but everything outside, meaning I don’t go to the gym neither I have have a home cycling trainer. All of those failures were within the first year so Garmin warrantied each one. But the same works in other non-workout ways too. They’ve taken the pieces from their various products (HRM-TRI & HRM-DUAL) and simply squished them together, along with the newness of being able to contribute to your daily metrics. I’ve gone around and around with them. It has not worked for me or anyone I personally know that has a Pro. Note, the last few seconds where those are straight lines of the TICKR X, is simply because the TICKR X got paused there. It’s still a little bit warm this time of year to get those nice crispy cool late fall days though where the air is drier, which can lead to standard chest strap accuracy issues in the first few minutes of a workout before you get enough sweat going. So we’ll skip to the usage bits related to the non-watch portions. But that’s just not acceptable. But the fact it’s $130 and basically disposable is kind of ridiculous. This, of course, follows the HRM-DUAL strap that B) It’s how it does the saved activity data offloading Ray, it’s very frightening how many users have a broken Garmin hr belt after a battery change. thank you for the review. I ordered the Pro and will try it and see if it works. (regarding bandwidth / battery performance), A) You’ll get the ANT+ Running Dynamics metrics Honestly not sure how to fix that for this post, but, you can click the little text bit above each test section, which takes you to the full data sets to zoom in/etc.. I assume this means that I could sleep with this strap on and get my resting HR? Before I did that I started the activity (‘Cardio’), and then I stuck the watch in the microwave, breaking the connection to the strap. Hopefully they will be able and willing to remedy this through software. It’s here I do a bit of a 900w+ sprint and my HR spikes accordingly. That’s interesting…. This was also my gadget/data wish for the winter. The one solution that some people have had success with is removing the battery for a time, discharging the strap totally and powering it back up after 5-10 minutes. 2.) Or more specifically, the patent around sensor arrangement. Here’s my most recent gadget recommendations guide and trainers here – covering almost every category of sports gadgets out there. Thanks for the great review. Oh, and free US shipping too! When any ANT+ or Bluetooth Smart heart rate sensor is paired to the FR945, the paired sensor will take priority during a workout. They know it’s an issue but don’t appear to do anything about it. Battery-wise of course you’ll go through CR2032’s faster. Ray, what’s your experience with that? Again, if you’ve got some sort of top on covering it, there’s no pressure and it’s not an issue. Note that the definition of Running Dynamics metrics in this case is specifically Stride Length, Vertical Ratio, Ground Contact Time, Ground Contact Time Balance, and Vertical Oscillation. So deleate the stored HR sensor when changing battery, do a new search, and it will probably be good! steps) for other activities than swimming? PulseOx comes from the optical HR sensor, not the chest one. If it matters, let’s assume your preferred tracker is set as a watch that supports those metrics. I got a Fenix 6s Pro a month and a half ago and am now deciding on a heart rate monitor. Compact and lightweight, the Sport PRO is simple, intuitive and so easy to use in 1 hand, you don’t even have to look at it. After all, if you’re buying this strap it’s because you’re in the Garmin ecosystem and likely with a Garmin watch (versus a bike computer). Meaning, unlike the Wahoo TICKR X, or the Polar H10, there’s no bookended workout files created here. Finally, here’s an outdoor ride with the FR745, Garmin HRM-DUAL, TICKR X, and COROS Pace 2, this is a mostly steady-state ride, save a few stops for canal bridges or stop-lights. In this case $115, or 12% off, but who knows how long that’ll last: link to amzn.to. This makes it seamless between the other 23 hours of the day you wear the watch, with the 1 hour you can’t. DC Rainmaker 2019 swim, bike, run, and general gear list. Here’s a quick glance at them from one of my track runs (paired to Fenix 6).
