Products works great with a few small issues. Pairing the heater rate monitor was not an issue. After the chest strap is washed, it requires to be paired again. Approximately once every 50 hours or so of riding, the heart rate is lost on the Garmin computer and one has to stop and go through the computer to re-find the HR sensor.
Overall a great addition to the Garmin 1030 and 820 computers. With the heart rate and zone function, we tend to push a bit harder on our rides. Nice to study the overall aerobic and anaerobic training portions of a ride that the HR provides through a Garmin.

The HRM works well mostly, but sometimes it stops in the middle of a ride or doesn't properly pick up my HR before starting. It seems less consistent than even some of the old school HRMs, but at least it is machine washable.

Use on Bluetooth spin bikes in the gym and my road bike and always syncs up quickly to get an accurate read. Same comfort as the ant only strap.

The Garmin HRM provides me with constant feedback concerning my heart rate and effort on the road bike. It works well.

Works perfectly with both Bluetooth and ANT. Fits well. Nothing more to say!

Purchased after I dropped my Wahoo HRM on concrete and it broke. Definitely the most comfortable HRM I have used.

I like the detachable module that allows rinsing the strap. Its flexible and easy to wear for long periods. Having Blue Tooth is good too.

They last just long enough to get through the warranty.

The new Garmin HRM has been great so far. My old Garmin strap stopped working after a few years. This one paired and connected easily with my 520 Edge. Accurate readings comfortable, and no drop out. I like it.

Sucks that I had to buy a new monitor to work with Zwift but everything works like it should. I'd say it's more comfortable than my hard ANT strap so now this is my full time monitor so that's a plus.

This was a replacement for one included with my edge 1030. It became very erratic. This seems to be higher quality and reads accurately.

Ordered this Garmin hr monitor from bikestiresdirect. With their fast shipping I was able to use it right out of the box. Connected quickly with Zwift, garmin watch and 520. This is way better then the old garmin hr monitor.

This HRM replaces my older Garmin HRM which seemed to go through batteries too quickly. This one seems fine, works with my Garmin head unit and watch and pairs easily with Zwift.
