Makes your investment in a Garmin watch a complete package.

Neither my Instinct Solar 2 or my Forerunner 570 with the newest HR sensors are very accurate. Both watches have absolutely wonderful features- but much of the underlying analysis they provide require accurate HR readings- especially when exercising. And the watches just don't have the ability to get accurate HR measurements on the wrist. That's not a shot at the products-- it's just a limiting factor of watch based HR data. The HRM600 resolves that completely. It's comfortable, super-simple to use and seems much more accurate. Now only if I can figure out a way to safely warm up the sensors in the morning when wetting them as required before going skiing. It's like an ice bath on my chest for the first 15 seconds.

The device is very good. It shows the pulse accurately. I recommend it. Garmin comes with a two-year warranty.

The heart monitor connects to my devices but I can’t get it to pick up my heart rate.

Solid HR Monitor

Needed a new HR monitor for my virtual training app (both Zwift and Rouvy) and it has connected seamlessly for both.

Easy to connect, comfortable to wear

I received my Garmin HRM 200 as a Christmas gift. Recently, I bought the Garmin Edge 1050 as my bike computer. I also use my Apple Watch and iPhone to track my fitness. Tried using an App to send my heart rate to the Edge from the watch. It sort of worked but required disconnecting the iPhone. The HRM 200 was the best solution. It connects to the Edge easily and gives an accurate reading of my heart rate. It feels comfortable to wear and doesn’t lose contact or stop reading. I would recommend it if you are serious about tracking your fitness with your Garmin

Great HRM
on January 12, 2026

I love this actually. Exactly what I was looking for. Very comfortable, easy to use, connects immediately. The hardest part was figuring out the pairing with my Rouvy and Zwift apps, etc. but once I got it it's been immediate. I was trying too it without the the directions at first which probably didn't help. ;)

Not compatible with all watches
on January 12, 2026

I have a vivomove sport and an older forerunner 45 and the HRM 200 won’t connect as an external HR to either. It’s not helpful for my running, but it does connect to the peloton bike, so at least I have accurate HR monitoring there.
