Garmin HRM-PRO (010-12955-00)

The Garmin HRM Pro offers a lot of functionality, especially if you have a Garmin watch and/or use Garmin Connect. It holds swimming data on board for later download. All the fancy running dynamics. Dual ANT+ and Bluetooth for reliable connection. Sensor is encased in a cover so you don’t appear to need to pull off the sensor for cleaning. And usefully it tells you on Garmin Connect it’s battery level. I am mainly riding at the moment, which is pretty basic duty but I DO need a reliable connection for Zwifting. The Pro replaced an earlier / cheaper Garmin strap which was glitching... was it the battery, the connections, ...? Changing battery is fiddly and annoying and it didn’t fix the problem so I went upmarket with the Pro as a replacement. Expensive but it seems to tick all the boxes, and will be even more useful as I get back to running and swimming.

Great HRM for Garmin users. Bought this to replace a HRM run that died. Works perfectly so far and is more accurate than HRM run that it replaced. Very happy.

Garmin HRM-PRO is the ultimate chest strap. It provides all the advanced running dynamics metrics which I find quite useful, but now uses Bluetooth which allows me to see my HR when running on Treadmills. Really happy with this chest strap.

Wouldn't do a run without it now. Great addition to my fitness bag. The additional insights into my running performance and more accurate heart rate information are awesome. Also, the fast setup - select run on your compatible watch and it syncs to the strap. At the end of the session in the Garmin Connect App you select if you want to use the watch data or strap data. Note. I haven't swam with it as yet or tested the memory storage when swimming.

I really like the band, but it just smells so bad and it is not the sweat smell, I think the material smells when you used it for few days.
