Great Monitor!
on April 14, 2026

I bought the HRH 200 with the Concept2 rowing machine. The monitor works perfectly, integrating with the rower so that I can monitor my heart rate while rowing. It comfortable to wear while rowing and would probably work well with other activities as well. Great product!

No to HRM 200 & Yes to the HRM goo

I was happy to get it but the happy back turned into " Oh for Heaven sakes". What a piece of SXXT!
I could not get it to charge. So I returned it & got the HRM 600. More $$$ but it works & EZ to charge.

Love the HRM 200!

This chest strap is perfect for recording heart rate during runs/walks. The wrist based sensor is so unreliable and always recorded my heart rate much higher than it actually was, thus throwing off my entire metrics. With the HRM 200, there is no sudden spikes, cadence lock and temperature fussiness that I experienced with my watch. The chest strap was a very good buy!

Works well / more accurate than wrist reading
on March 29, 2026

Greatly improves accuracy of heart rate reporting. Slightly confusing setup instructions - hard to tell if it is working vs. wrist monitoring. Overall, I am quite happy with the results.
I have low BP and I am not sure if that impacts HR reporting - I have noticed that the wrist function shorts me of my cardio results, and am really happy to have the more accurate HR info to support training.

Out with the old...new with the new

Finally after about 13years my HRM1G monitor refused to work and retired to the circular haven bin. The old model was absolutely bullet proof and comfortable...but tech limited. Being cheap I purchased the lowest costing HR monitor and I'm not sorry. It gives me all the 411 I need. Only thing I don't like is the fastener...and that is personal preference. I just liked the old HRM1G way of attaching. Other than that OMG perfect and respectfully priced.

Accurate but too big.

It’s a lot more accurate than my wrist HR monitor. Beware the M-XL size it too big for me and I’m a normal size woman not very thin.

Connection Issues
on March 24, 2026
Posted by: Bob2844
There's no way to discern a HRM from other HRMs while connecting to watch. For people that lives in cities and apartments, this is an issue. Very clunky set up process
