Doesn’t always connect with 965. Will work. Then if you stop for a few minutes, It will disconnect and not start when you continue running. You have press the button on the hem and hope that it reconnects. And older, less expensive, hrm works better.
I have had various HRMs from Garmin and other manufacturers. The 600 has allowed me to track multiple activities and easily synched with my other Garmin products. The rechargeable battery is convenient. The Garmin connect app allowed me to select the activity when tracking a non-cycling sport. I have been using the HRM-600 to track my heart rate while training in martial arts!
I got this over a month ago as my fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar was not giving accurate HR stats during activities. I set up the HRM 600 and it has corrected the issue. It works fine, can take off the HR device as it snaps to the belt in order to rinse and wash it off. Note: if you get this you need to make sure for that it is not using this for satellite connectivity for outdoor activities. Originally it was doing this and the distances were off. I changed the setting and it works fine now.
The new HRM 600 is a much-improved model over the previous version. It is not as sensitive to position of the strap. Rechargeable battery is a plus, but the main feature is its reliability, and it seems to always connect with a watch. This is particularly important for winter sports where it is not easy to reset it.
Bought this to replace a Garmin Pro Plus that fell apart after just over a year of use. Despite religiously washing it once a week, the rubber/plastic contact pad delaminated from the strap. Let’s hope this one holds up better.
