It's no surprise that different Garmin heart rate monitors offer various features. Our range includes several types to choose from when selecting a Garmin monitor. Even within Garmin, they have unique capabilities.
Garmin Heart Rate Monitor - Garmin Watches:
If you're targeting a Garmin heart rate monitor, we offer many options in Garmin watches. A Garmin watch captures your heart rate via the wrist sensor. Modern fitness and GPS watches have optical heart rate monitors. The pulse is measured at the wrist using small LEDs on the back of the watch face. These LEDs shine through your skin into your blood vessels. The light reflects back to the watch sensor, providing your heart rate (the speed of your heartbeats). If you'd like to read more about wrist-based heart rate measurement and watch a short video on wrist positioning, we have a great article. You'll also find additional info on using a chest strap as a monitor. If you know this is the type of Garmin monitor you're after but are unsure which Garmin watch to buy, we have a mini-guide to help choose the right Garmin watch for your needs. For many runners and fitness enthusiasts, this type of measurement fully covers their training needs. However, if you're a more serious runner seeking precise data, a Garmin chest strap is worth exploring. Interested in wrist vs. chest strap heart measurement? Read more in our article.
Garmin Heart Rate Monitor - Garmin Chest Strap:
A Garmin chest strap works slightly differently than the monitor in a Garmin watch. It can record rapid heartbeat fluctuations, ideal for interval training. If you're searching for a Garmin chest strap, you might still wonder which to choose. Our inspiration page has an article about this. At RunningXpert, find Garmin chest straps (HRM) in three versions: Garmin HRM-Run, Garmin HRM-Pro, and Garmin HRM-Dual. The HRM-Run is a great strap for serious runners. Garmin HRM Tri is no longer in stock, but we recommend the other three as great alternatives. Garmin HRM-Pro has built-in memory and replaces HRM-Run and HRM-Tri.
