Great product for cycling
The HRM Pro Plus delivers excellent accuracy in heart rate tracking, even during intense workouts. The strap is comfortable and lightweight, staying securely in place throughout the activity. Its best feature is the ability to store data when not wearing a watch (like while swimming) and sync it later. Connection with Garmin devices and third-party apps is fast and stable. Perfect for athletes who need reliable performance metrics and running dynamics.

Game-Changer for Accurate Heart Rate Tracking
This heart rate monitor is absolutely incredible. I have full sleeve tattoos, which makes my wrist-based heart rate readings from a smartwatch extremely inaccurate — especially during runs. I prefer heart rate zone training over pace-based training, and the inconsistency and lag from my watch were driving me crazy.This chest strap solved everything. It delivers instant and reliable heart rate data with zero dropouts. The strap is comfortable to wear, stays in place during intense workouts, and the battery life is excellent — it just keeps going. I was also pleasantly surprised by the price. For the quality and performance, it’s a bargain.One important note: you need to connect the HRM to your watch directly through your watch’s settings — not just through the Garmin Connect app — to get it working properly.No downsides from my experience. If you train seriously or just want reliable data, this is a must-have upgrade.

Huge Fan of HRM Pro Plus!
As a former user of the HRM tri, I was disappointed when the screws rusted out and the HRM broke. Saw the price tag on this HRM and was reluctant, but it has held up for a year and a half. I use this every day for both workouts and runs. The heart rate it produces is easy to download if you are not wearing the watch for your activity. For working out and lifting weights, this HRM keeps the recording accurate when your wrist is moving for dumbbell or kettlebell movements which usually throw off the wrist sensor. The heart rate data is accurate, and the device always connects without me having to do anything. It turns on when you put it on. I recommend rinsing it off in the shower And hanging up to dry after use

It’s comfortable and easy to use
I’ve used this once, so far, for a 4 mile run/walk on the treadmill.It connected to my Garmin 935 watch immediately, and it gave me no trouble while on the treadmill.My only gripe was shipping took way too long, and I’m still not sure what happened. The HR chest strap was shipped USPS and it got stuck in several states for days. In fact, it sat in my city for a full week before it got delivered. This has absolutely nothing to do with the functionality of this HR strap, but the waiting game and uncertainty around when (or if) it would even arrive drove me nuts.I considered canceling the order and requesting a refund, but opted to wait it out. Anyway, I’m happy to have it now, and I’m excited to use it when hiking and running. I’ve been a Garmin fan for 13 years. Their gear never disappoints.

Reliable heart rate monitor with accurate data and strong connectivity
The Garmin HRM Pro Plus has delivered very consistent and accurate heart rate tracking during every workout I tested it with. Connection to my Garmin watch is immediate and does not drop, even during long training sessions. The improvement in training metrics is noticeable, especially for pace, power and aerobic and anaerobic load.The strap is comfortable and stays in place without needing to be tightened too much. I have used it for running, strength work and indoor cycling and it remains stable and reliable. It also performs well in wet conditions and the waterproof rating gives extra confidence for outdoor use.Battery life has been strong and the build quality feels durable. For anyone who wants precise data and a dependable chest strap, this is a very solid choice.

A little pricey but solid
Feels better than the Polar straps. Band warped a little bit with wear. Works fine, syncs well. Seems a bit pricey for what it is, would have found it a good value around $80.

Venu 3s compatible!
I’ve had my eye on a heart rate monitor for quite a while because I was honestly a little curious about how accurate my Garmin venue 3s was being that it’s on my wrist and it gets jostled around a lot as I’m running. I knew when I bought my watch that because it’s pretty much the newest watch available and that they advertised that the heart rate monitor on it was the same as Garmin’s $1,000 watch but to be honest I’m still skeptical about the accuracy of watch statistics in general so when I saw this heart rate monitor was 80 something dollars compared to the over 120 on the Garmin website I had to have it while it was such a good price!So before I bought this I spoke to somebody from Garmin just to see that this was indeed compatible with my watch because I saw that there was a lot of people in the review section here that didn’t believe this was compatible with the venue series even though on the Garmin website this heart rate monitor shows photos in a list with all the watches compatible with it so just to be sure I talked to the Garmin associate and she confirmed, yes, the venue series is compatible with this heart rate monitor. The only downside to my watch with this heart rate monitor is that she said my watch wasn’t Advanced enough (ie: not from their strict sports lines like the forerunner, epix, or fennix series) so while it would track my heart rate, all of the running Dynamics wouldn’t record from this. Also, weirdly enough, she mentioned this wouldn’t read my heart rate in the pool with my particular watch which I was confused about because I don’t understand how the heart rate can work while running and all other activities but not with swimming? Even though my watch has open and indoor swiming options? But nevertheless I’m kind of cool with that because I dont swim with my watch and I bought this because I do a lot of heart rate training while running or cardio in general so I can kind of brush that aside. Another downside for the venue 3 watch is that for some reason even though I can get Dynamics from my watch itself it won’t read from the heart rate monitor so all of the aspects of the heart rate monitor that can improve your indoor running or make it more accurate on the treadmill, from what I understand, won’t send to my device so my stats will still read from my watch. Now onto my proper review!I’ve worn this heart rate monitor for about a week now and over the course of four different workout sessions ive tested it with a mix of running, indoor cycling, and the elliptical. From what I see compared to the stats from my watch from previous exercises as well as comparing it to the heart rate monitor on my gym equipment (which reads 5-10 bpm close to my watch) I’m able to say with absolute certainty that the venue 3 watch is actually super accurate with my heart rate! Basically if I’m just stationary or walking or doing any sort of activity that doesn’t shake my wrist horribly then it reads my heart rate the same as this heart rate strap. The heart rate strap however is so good at picking up my heart rate that it’ll read my heart rate as raising or lowering on a dime with little to no delay and when I’m running it’ll read my heart rate is actually about 10 to 20 beats per minute slower than what I’ve been going off of on my watch. Which is actually such a relief because historically I have been struggling so hard at running in the easy Zone that I honestly thought I just had to do run/walk intervals to keep my heart rate under 145. My charts in the app also read so much smoother. Before it would look like sharp peeks that would jut up or down and now it reads as hills and slopes. It connects easy, starts automatically when I put it on, and stays in place once I place it under my sports bra band. As far as the Dynamics I cant tell if its true it dosnt record because it was able to tell I was still moving even though I had both my arms up, texting, while walking on the treadmill which usually if my arm with the watch stops moving it thinks I stopped walking/running and it also proped for a calibration of milage after its first treadmill use soo? I’m also skeptical it wont read my hr while swimmung as I just tested by putting it on and selecting the indoor swim option on my watch and it proped that my hr monitor connected so I believe some of the info the garmin associate gave me was wrong 🤷♀️Anyways, this has definitely been a game changer in my workouts this week and Im so jazzed to have this in my arsenal for my next training block!

Integration with the watch is really poor. The watch doesn’t seem to handle well not having the strap on, leading to long and interrupted syncing on those occasions or activities. When you are wearing it, the recording occasionally fails for no apparent reason with no way of diagnosing what went wrong. Very frustrating. Wake up Garmin, you have lost your way. Think about Psion, Palm, blackberry, Nokia. Feels like Garmin have the same existential problem….

Behold, the Garmin HRM-Pro Plus – the love child of a heart rate monitor and a fitness guru! This isn’t just a strap; it’s the VIP pass to the exclusive party of my heartbeats. It’s like having a personal fitness cheerleader, transmitting real-time data to my Garmin 935 faster than I can say ‘I need more steps.’But wait, there’s more! It’s not just about heartbeats; it’s a running dynamics maestro, capturing my every stride like a fitness paparazzo. It knows more about my running form than I do – vertical oscillation, ground contact time, stride length – it’s practically my running therapist. And guess what? It even computes pace and distance for my treadmill endeavors. Move over, math; Garmin’s got this!Swimming? No problem. This strap is like the Aquaman of heart rate monitors, storing data underwater and sending it to my watch once I’m back on dry land. It’s so aquatic, I’m half expecting it to join synchronized swimming competitions.And don’t get me started on the battery life – up to a year! It outlasts my resolutions to eat more kale. The tool-free quarter-turn battery door is like the Batman utility belt of durability – easy to use and ready for any fitness adventure.In conclusion, the Garmin HRM-Pro Plus is not just a heart rate monitor; it’s a fitness sidekick, a data superhero, and a workout bestie. Move over, ordinary HRMs; Garmin’s here to turn my heartbeats into a fitness symphony!
