Went back to using a HR monitor. This one works and pairs perfectly with my Garmin 840. For a while I was depending on my sport watch, but the HR strap monitor is more accurate. Glad I got this! It’s very comfortable and easy to put on.
Have only used the HR monitor for a handful of weeks but have had no issues. The monitor was easy to link to my Garmin watch and it starts up when I put it on. Nothing to complain about.
Bought it today excited to track my sleep … spent a few hours setting up, uninstalling, setting up, uninstalling etc. it’s connected and all looks good but there are no updates on the display screen of the app. I CHECKED EVERYTHING! Over and over.
To the garmin team - you made the product and the software. Make your product work with the software!
HRM garmin connects to garmin app, but doesn't records heart rate data while using device. Second time whering heart monitor without showing heart rate data since purchase.
I bought this to replace one I had that was starting to fail. I'm really happy with it. It connects easily to my Echelon app, and I'd like to try it with other apps as well. It connects to my Lily 2 watch, but the watch's heart rate is the default, and it's not accurate when I'm exercising indoors or out. I'd like to have the HRM 200 metrics be the default on the watch, but I don't know how to do that.
I will start by stating that I am currently watching the heartrate feedback data continue to go up and down with my heartrate.... with one huge cause of concern... I'm not wearing it or my watch!!!! IF this doesn't tell you all you need to know. Garmin knows their heartrate monitors/sensors are defective and yet keep selling them. They gave me the band to make up for their faulty watch and neither work properly. DO NOT BUY A GARMIN PRODUCT FOR HEARTRATE FEATURES. If it does work (who knows) it displays the rate far below what the true heart rate is. This can be DEADLY if you need to maintain a certain level due to health. BE WARNED, POSSIBLE RESULT OF DEATH!
