Garmin HRM-600, Premium Heart Rate Monitor, HRV data,Running Dynamics, Steps, Calories, Speed, Distance, Rechargeable battery,Record & sync data without a watch, machine washable strap, Size M-XL

My hubby had an old Polar strap but he kept having issue with the battery expiring after one use. It was important that a new HR strap would work with his Concept PM5 monitor and this one does perfectly. It recharges via a usb and lasts a few rows. He reported that it did pinch a bit, but he thinks that’s the way he wears it and maybe it needs slacking off a little. Great buy though.

I think this is my 4th or 5th heart rate monitor, and by far the most expensive, build quality seems good, it's charged with standard Garmin charger so shares same as my fenix watch (which is good). I like the way the strap works as compared to cheaper models from other manufacturers, HR seems to align well with my watch and is comfortable to wear...so far so good, let's see how long it lasts, typically these things don't last more than a year with me :(.

My Garmin HRM Pro died, I suspect because swear got into the battery compartment after changing it, so it's good to see that this model is rechargeable. So far it seems more accurate on HRM than the previous version and the metrics seem accurate. Good idea being able to detatch it from the strap for cleaning. Quite light but the strap needs something with more grip against the skin, especially at the back.

Fantastic unit. I've owned previous HRM straps - still have the Pro Plus. But this is equally as good with better connectivity. It stays connected with my Garmin watch/head unit. I haven't yet tried the HRM-only mode though. Expensive? Yes. But if you like data, and train with hearth rate, this is the dogs danglies.

Very good product best thing about it you can recharge batteries in device. One of the better monitors I have used to date.

Wanted a chest strap for a few years, when this came on offer I took the punt. Already made my interval workouts so much more accurate and therefore less error in training plans. As for the device compared to other models, accuracy and fit and all much of a muchness I think, but having a rechargeable battery is nice in the short term, will have to see how it holds up over time. I bought the higher model for its extra tracking features (swimming, treadmill pace etc) and so far so good, it has done what I wanted it to do. If you've been thinking of getting one, just do it.

Easy to fit, sits well. Stats are good for running. (Waiting for season to start to test in a team sport without wearing watch.) Had an initial problem with auto-connect after first pairing… watch and phone are on different connection type so be careful of which is actually connected.

Used frequently. I've tested against known reliable sources and is very accurate. Comfortable to wear. Great battery life.
