Garmin 010-12955-00 HRM-PRO, Premium Heart Rate Strap, Real-Time Heart Rate Data and Running Dynamics

The Garmin HRM-Pro is an outstanding heart rate monitor! I’ve been using it for several weeks now, and I’m truly impressed by its performance. The chest strap is comfortable and lightweight, and I barely notice it during long workouts. The heart rate data is incredibly accurate, providing real-time insights into my training intensity. It syncs easily with my Garmin watch and other devices, and I love that it also tracks running dynamics, like cadence and ground contact time. The battery life is excellent, and the HRM-Pro stores data when I’m out of range, so I never miss a beat. If you're serious about your fitness and need precise heart rate monitoring, this is a must-have. Highly recommend for runners, cyclists, or anyone looking to optimize their training!

Update (8/22): Contacted Garmin Support dept and they replaced the HRM-pro for free. Explained what happened and provided proof of purchase (~6mo outside factory warranty period) and they sent a link for a no-charge order for a new unit. Upgraded to 5 stars for the customer service. Original review (~6/22): I'm a garmin fr935 watch user and avid runner. I bought this as a better & more reliable means of tracking HR than the ohr/optical sensor on the forerunner series. The watch based ohr readings would fluctuate based on watch band tightness, wrist location, and weather (skin temperature?). This hrm-pro was much more reliable with the added bonus of the running dynamics metrics. I wore this pretty much daily since Feb '21 for ~1hr/day. The Connect app battery meter for this was a joke and I never saw it go lower than 100% full. I read about the battery change process potentially leading to early failures but thought I was pretty careful in the process. I changed the battery on this ~3-4 times since new but the last time was likely the killer. A small crack developed on the base plastic near one of the screw mounting points that must have caused a leak. Washed it recently, let it dry then no more pairing. Opened it up and noticed condensation in the battery compartment so decided that it was terminal enough to do "major" surgery to investigate. The pictures tell the story: water got in behind the main board and shorted out some components. Maybe if I washed this without the battery in (cover on) and then let it dry out I could have got a few more months out of it? This seems to be a pretty common problem with these series of garmin hrm units (pro, tri, run, etc) so buyer beware.

Strap is comfortable. Pairs easily with phone, Garmin app and Fenix 6 Pro. Heart rate seems solidly accurate. The best thing about this strap is that it is the only way I have found to get reasonably accurate step counting while pushing a wheelchair and I expect it would work for individuals using hiking poles or pushing lawnmowers or similar things where watches don’t work well. It stores the data and synchs automatically with the watch and app which figures out how to merge it with watch data. It also provides full running dynamics data: left-right balance, ground contact, vertical bounce. It will store the data if you don’t have a watch on or your phone with you, so you can swim with it but it doesn’t have a specific “no-slip” swimming strap. I haven’t swum with it though, so I can’t say if that is an issue. This does not have a replaceable strap like the duo, but it has much, much more functionality.

This is a great monitor. Polar H10 was a complete disappointment. This monitor has not issue connecting and working with other app. Garmin Connect app, on the other hand, is disappointing. Garmin should really think about improving its Connect app without requiring a Garmin Watch or another device.

I got this to go along with my Edge 130 bike GPS. It pairs automatically and reliably as soon as I put it on. (works best if the chest strap is on before the GPS is powered-up) When I got a Garmin GPS watch later, it also worked well with it. It uses a single CR2032 lithium coin cell battery, which is easy to change; check YouTube for videos on how. You'll only need to refer to it once. After a few wearings, I just bring it into the shower with me to get the sweat & salt out of the strap covering. It's well sealed against moisture.

At first I was skeptical about reliability and comfort due to the review of this product but buying and trying it myself I would say that this HRM is a great product *WHEN* used with another Garmin device like a Garmin watch. Before I used the Wahoo Tickr X, and the contact that snap onto the strap corroded over time. On this strap there are no metal parts exposed to clip on so there will be little to no chance of corrosion. The strap is also very comfortable, usually if I wear a HRM strap for too long then my stomach hurts even when I loosen the strap. I have not had that problem with this product. Now if you use the HRM without your phone or without a Garmin watch or another activity tracker, then yes the recording an activity without a phone or other device will sample in very long intervals, most likely to save memory on the device. But if you pair it with a smart phone or another Garmin device then the device updates like ever half second, half a second faster than the old Tickr X. In other words if you want the Real-Time data then you have to use it with something else. But if you do use it with another device, you get the real time data and the running metrics that they advertise which is a nice bonus to anyone that can utilize the data to improve.

Deze hartslagmeter meet zeer accuraat en snel, wat het heel interessant maakt voor intervaltrainingen en dergelijke. Helaas is de batterijduur zeer kort na een jaar intensief gebruik. Nu doe ik hoogstens een week met een nieuwe batterij. Daarna krijgt het kuren zoals plots uitvallen of ongekende hoogtes of laagtes bereiken. Dit maakt dat ik het ondertussen opgegeven heb en niet meer gebruik.

Produkten funkar utmärkt! Snabb leverans. Jag är toppennöjd.

I am very happy with my Garmin HRM Pro. It fits beautifully into my Garmin ecosystem. Seamlessly connecting with my Garmin watch and my phone. It has given me more control over my activities and helps me improve or tweak my physical routines.

The Garmin HRM-Pro is hands down one of the best chest straps I’ve used. The accuracy is next-level—it picks up heart rate changes instantly and tracks consistently throughout all kinds of workouts, whether it's running, strength training, or high-intensity intervals. The strap itself is comfortable and stays put, even during long runs or sweaty sessions. You barely notice it’s there. Syncs effortlessly with my Garmin watch and other fitness apps, and the extra data it provides—like running dynamics and calorie tracking—is a huge bonus if you're serious about training. Battery life is solid, and the build feels durable enough to handle whatever you throw at it. I’ve tested a few heart rate monitors over the years, and this one just works. No fuss, no dropouts, just reliable data every time. If you want to level up your training and track with confidence, this is the strap to get.
