Rechargeable
on April 25, 2026
Posted by: Ryan33
Bought this a little over a month ago. Works just as well as my Polar H10 did, but it does not eat batteries. The rechargeable battery is awesome. So far so good. We'll see how this does with years of use.

Love the Updated Features
on April 27, 2026
Posted by: Silverback Cyclist
So while I loved my previous HRM this one I love too even more so because it has some of the newer features I love the ability to recharge this device, and the more details regarding my runs and the improved metrics for the run.

Didn't connect to my watch
Still debating on sending it back
If I turn off the wrist HR from ny watch the band does not send a signal so I am not sure it works

Comparison to my prior HRM Pro Plus
on May 2, 2026
Posted by: K.Lari
I bought this HRM-600 to replace my older HRM-Pro Plus that had developed an unpleasant deteriorating rubber smell. I like the fact that the 600 has a detachable pod which makes it convenient for regular cleaning of the strap. I only use the HRM for road biking, and I appreciated the fact that the prior Pro Plus used a coin battery (that I had to change once a year), so not as in favor of the new rechargeable model which is "yet another device battery to recharge". I suspect most of the other improved features are nice to have if you use them... but I do not and therefore hard to understand the steep price increase.

Minus:
-less comfortable dan HRM Pro (yellow) I fill something "hard"
-I had a problem to connect on Fenix in ANT+ mode (I had to delete connection Blueetoth and add again)
-It's ok in 95% of use, maybe software update get some battery extended for ultra racers (read and send 2-3 time less than normal Plus -don't care about battery, care about cable, small size, i don't care about how long I can clean in water. I can disconnect device

Great features, and a solid upgrade from the HRM P
on May 12, 2026
Posted by: Bend Mountain Bike Man
I've been a happy user of the HRM Pro. I like the detachable HR unit and the charging capabilities but I'm still getting used to the differences of the HRM Pro. Take note, I'm a small guy with a 38" chest and the small size strap barely is long enough. Not quite inline with the description. If it were I'd go 5 stars. I'm still quite happy though.

Kinda pricey for what it is. But it’s very nice, much more accurate than my watch alone.
