Seems better at tracking HR but still not great during the first cold mile but once warmed up the data looks consistent and accurate. The strap isn’t anything better wrt comfort but still easy to adjust. Ordered the smaller size but returned it because it’s really small. The proprietary cable isn’t great, if lost or left behind, but that it can be charged, is well worth the upgrade because changing batteries wasn’t a great experience. Also the option to use to track activities without a watch is nice feature in case the watch is out of commission or MIA for some reason. So overall worth the purchase. And BTW it’s working great with my old xt920. I still feel Garmin is the best quality HRM out there just shy of perfection.
Works well. Attaches and comes off easily. I had read people saying their unit was almost impossible to remove from the strap. Perhaps that issue has been fixed. Unit seems to stay charged for a long time. My only complaint would be the price. If it were cheaper I would give it 5 stars.
I purchased a new Garmin 970 watch and the HRM 600. I love these two products and they work great!. I see my heart rate when I'm working out. They work very well together and the heart monitor is very comfortable to wear.
Purchased to learn more about my health journey and it did not fail. I’m an info junkie and this thing provides everything you need to know. If it doesn’t have what you need, you didn’t need it. Well worth the purchase amount.
