Don’t machine wash it
on December 28, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
Hasn’t really worked since I washed it. Heart rate is all over the place, which wasn’t the case before it was washed.

Comfortable HRM!
on January 9, 2026
Posted by: Kelly M
Comfortable to wear, zero chafing. I love the rechargeable feature - no more opening the battery case and then finding it leaked later! It connected to all my devices without any trouble, and provides reliable and accurate data. I wish the light was a little more concealed because it's super awkward, as a woman, to have a flashing light visible through clothing right at the end of my sternum. Overall a quality and useful product!

Incompatible with Pacemaker
on January 10, 2026
Posted by: wagonroad
Sutter health installed an Abbot Pacemaker on me 2 weeks ago; I wanted to monitor my heart rate. and ordered a HRM 200. My best efforts failed to get the HRM to connect to Garmin Connect or to my Garmin 830 GPS. I then went to Google AI for an answer. Whow!! I’m lucky that the HRM cannot detect the pacemaker’s signals; for the HRM’s transmission could have disrupted the pacemakers electrical impulses to my heart.

Not compatible with all watches

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.

Great HRM
on January 12, 2026
Posted by: rbsride365
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. ;)

Easy to connect, comfortable to wear
on January 13, 2026

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
