I never bothered with the return for this product, but it did not pair with my Forerunner 245 at any point. Basically useless device. I previously had a good experience with garmin products but this was disappointing and will make me reconsider buying more products.
I bought the GRM200 several weeks ago for cycling.The HRM works well for about 30 minutes before it starts reporting erratic heart rate data.The heart rate starts accelerating until it reaches 175 bpm.Disconnecting the sensor does not turn off the erratic reported data: it still reports high heart rate data even when disconnected.Obviously the sensor is locking on to something else.I have tried both ANT plus as well as BLE. It does not matter which I use.I still get the same erratic heart rate data.I have tried wetting the strap and wearing a colton base layer under my jersey; still the same nonsense. I am using a Garmin 830 cycling computer. Any ideas?
I think that a device that is called “HRM” which I thought stood for heart rate monitor, would work with the Garmin app to monitor my heart rate! It doesn’t connect to my iPhone, OR the Garmin app! So frustrating. Bye Garmin!
I’ve been using this for about a month. It connects quickly and stays on my body well. Being able to wash the strap is a big plus. I don’t need the running metrics, so this has been a great alternative to the more expensive HRM.
Love it. Been using it to train and it doesn’t chafe, stays in place, and barely feel it during my run. Highly recommend if zone training is your thing
