The pairing process with my Garmin Forerunner 55 is a pain in the butt, I still can’t get it to work. It paired fine with my Edge 540 though and works fine there. I’ll probably return it and get a Polar.
This is garbage out of the box. Doesn’t work. Yes I paired it, yes I wet the band, yes I took the battery out and tried a hard reset. It works for about two minutes after the hard reset and then stopped registering HR and turned off. A disappointment from Garmin. I own other Garmin products and have always been happy but this seems like an afterthought that was rushed to market .
I have used this for several rides, and I am really happy with its performance. One thing that makes me even happier is that it turns off when I’m not wearing it, which helps save battery life.
I bought this to replace my older Garmin HRM and it has worked great. I use it on all of my cycling rides and it doesn't disappoint. Great HRM and seamlessly connects to all of my other Garmin products. Would highly recommend this HRM.
