Garmin HRM 200 Heart Rate Monitor - XS to S

I received my Garmin HRM 200 as a Christmas gift. Recently, I bought the Garmin Edge 1050 as my bike computer. I also use my Apple Watch and iPhone to track my fitness. Tried using an App to send my heart rate to the Edge from the watch. It sort of worked but required disconnecting the iPhone. The HRM 200 was the best solution. It connects to the Edge easily and gives an accurate reading of my heart rate. It feels comfortable to wear and doesn’t lose contact or stop reading. I would recommend it if you are serious about tracking your fitness with your Garmin

I love this actually. Exactly what I was looking for. Very comfortable, easy to use, connects immediately. The hardest part was figuring out the pairing with my Rouvy and Zwift apps, etc. but once I got it it's been immediate. I was trying too it without the the directions at first which probably didn't help. ;)

I have a vivomove sport and an older forerunner 45 and the HRM 200 won’t connect as an external HR to either. It’s not helpful for my running, but it does connect to the peloton bike, so at least I have accurate HR monitoring there.

I received this as a gift and love it. It connects automatically and is very easy to use!

Sutter health installed an Abbot Pacemaker on me 2 weeks ago; I wanted to monitor my heart rate. and ordered a HRM 200. My best efforts failed to get the HRM to connect to Garmin Connect or to my Garmin 830 GPS. I then went to Google AI for an answer. Whow!! I’m lucky that the HRM cannot detect the pacemaker’s signals; for the HRM’s transmission could have disrupted the pacemakers electrical impulses to my heart.

Comfortable to wear, zero chafing. I love the rechargeable feature - no more opening the battery case and then finding it leaked later! It connected to all my devices without any trouble, and provides reliable and accurate data. I wish the light was a little more concealed because it's super awkward, as a woman, to have a flashing light visible through clothing right at the end of my sternum. Overall a quality and useful product!

Hasn’t really worked since I washed it. Heart rate is all over the place, which wasn’t the case before it was washed.

If you're not getting a heart rate display on the head unit even though it says it's connected, make sure you configure the transmission type on the HRM 200, either Open or Secure. Read the manual.

I bought the device, paired it with my phone and nothing. I’ve used an HRM pro for years and it finally died this doesn’t work at all. I thought I had a dud so I got a replacement but same issue. Does not register heart beat at all.

I bought this gem to use with my watch. I can connect it to the Bluetooth of my garmin watch and it immediately flashes red with a connection issue; the Ant+ seems to work. I ordered a Coros hrm and that works fine over Bluetooth with my garmin watch. I would expect the garmin hrm to work better with my garmin watch but that is not the case.

I had the original Garmin HRM and they would not last very long. I then moved to Wahoo and had a worse experience. I had given up on them for a while but wanted to get back into it. The hrm 200 is a big improvement over the older designs. The strap is comfortable and easy to use. Having a detachable sensor unit is great. I can wear the strap without turning the unit on and save the battery. So far it has worked great.

Had trouble getting the heart rate to display on the head unit, even though it said it was connected. Frustrating. THEN I read the manual. The HRM 200 defaults to a secure connection but my older head unit can only use an open connection. Once I changed it per the instructions all was good.

It works like it should, and easy to set up! Highly recommend.

I like it, easy to put, accurate and it can set in different equipments easy

This is an inexpensive way to get a better heart rate reading during strenuous workouts. I found that sometimes when my heart would be pounding, my Fenix 7 wasn’t picking up my heart rate very well. After using the HRM200 my readings are a lot more accurate and am getting better measures of my fitness level. It’s simple to use, stays in place during exercise and easy to clean. I haven’t had any issues with connectivity. So far so good, but 2 months of use and 0 complaints.

I was expecting better, the configuration with the button is confusing and elaborated. Another thing that I don’t like, is that I cannot see the HR in the phone display or in Garmin connect. I can only see on Zwift when I same in the training course I can see the resting HR. I am not fully satisfied with the purchase. Thank you! Antonio

Easy to adjust and use. Comfortable and accurate. I needed to get closer HR readings post-ablation for PVCs. The wrist-based readings are okay for most things, but for training I need more accurate readings. This does the trick without adding features I don't need. It's easy to put on and wear and easy to clean when needed.

I purchased this over a month ago and have been very pleased with it. I would recommend this product to anyone to anyone. It easily pairs with my other devices.

Full feature set including running dynamics and the ability to record exercises without your Garmin watch on. No optical heart rate is accurate enough, so I have been using heart rate straps for the past 10 years. The only downside to the 600 is that it is not completely waterproof like the old tri and swim models. I believe you can still get swim data from the 600, but I have not tried it. I wonder why Garman got rid of that fully integrated one-piece. My guess is that they were prone to leaks once the batteries were changed. That O-ring was not great.

Easy to set up and reconnects quickly with each use. Much more accurate than a watch alone. Definitely worth it.
