I have a Garmin Forerunner watch and Edge 840 and after having my 4th Brand X HRM stop working, I decided to stay with the Garmin family.
Glad I did! Set up was literally automatic.

Doesn’t work

It just doesn’t work. I’ve tried pairing it several times. Then remove the device from my phone and watch… and re connect. All it does once it “connects” to my phone is blink red. So I follow instructions to remove battery and pair again. Then once paired again, still flashing red.

It sounds like you may need to switch your HRM 200 to "open connection". I recommend removing the HRM from your paired devices, switching from secure connection to open connection, then pairing the devices again. For more information on the status LED lights on your HRM, check out this link: http://ms.spr.ly/6428sMwv0 *KC
I love my Garmin watches and bike sensors, but this sensor is confusing. I’ve read the manuals and can’t tell if my heart rate is from the heart rate monitor or watch. A simple icon or display would help know the difference.
Good product. Nice fit. Comfortable. Use at gym and outdoors. I Garmin, really, really, really needs to program so user has visual confirmation on watch and/or Connect that the HRM 200 is what is recording and not the optical sensor. NO ONE wants to be told that “most users don’t need to see this”, or “it is confusing to users and unnecessary” or similar rationalizations for why it is not a feature.Please, please fix this. Otherwise happy with product.
