Its okay but it doesn't give me half of what I thought it would. To get any real metrics, I have to manually start a workout in the Garmin app on my phone. And the one time I did that, it didnt sync correctly with my other apps.
I’ve been using my new HRM600 for about a month and it’s definitely a huge improvement over my old HRM pro +, much more comfortable and accurate. I’ve been using it every day for about one to two hours a day and it’s at 60% battery in the first charge. Pairs perfectly with my Garmin Fenix 8 Pro and my edge bike computers.
Having had a number of HR monitors throughout the many years, including Garmin and others, this is a nice upgrade. I appreciate the rechargeable aspect and as I've used it, it is quite amazing in the battery life area. It's a comfortable strap and seems to work perfectly. My new go-to for HR metrics.
Haven’t leveraged it as much as I wanted to. at least twice I realized i hadn’t told it what activity I was doing in the app beforehand and it didn’t record the session. My HRM pro just records. I can tell it later what’s going on. No button to press, No app to open.
Now that I have had a chance to work it . I am impressed with how much data it provides. Really gives you alot of insight as to how things are progressing. It is really easy to maintain and clean. I really like the fact that it is rechargeable and shows the battery level. It paired and works well with my Fenix 8 pro.
I've been super impressed with my HRM 600. It easily synchs with my Garmin devices: 840 cycle computer & Forerunner watch. The strap adjusts for a custom fit for your chest. Also the HRM 600 detaches from the chest strap, so you can wash/rise the strap after training. Another nice feature is that the HRM 600 uses the same charging cable as your Garmin watch. Its been a nice addition to my Garmin family of products!
