GARMIN HEART RATE MONITOR

It's no surprise that different Garmin heart rate monitors have varied functions. Our range offers multiple types to choose from when seeking a Garmin heart rate monitor. Even though all are from Garmin, they have unique features.

Garmin heart rate monitor - Garmin watches:

If you're specifically looking for a Garmin heart rate monitor, we offer many options in the form of Garmin watches. A Garmin watch detects your heart rate through the watch’s wrist sensor. Modern activity and GPS watches are equipped with optical heart rate monitors. The pulse is measured on the wrist using small LEDs on the back of the watch face. These LEDs shine through your skin into your arteries. The light is reflected back to the watch sensor, representing your blood flow, giving a pulse result (your heart rate speed.) If you want to learn more about wrist-based heart rate monitoring and watch a short video on how to place your heart rate watch, we have a good article. Here, you'll also find information about using a chest strap for heart rate monitoring. If you know this is the type of Garmin heart rate 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 heart rate monitoring fully meets their training needs. But if you're a more serious runner seeking exact data, a Garmin chest strap is worth exploring. If interested in wrist vs. chest strap monitoring, you can read more about it in our related article.

Garmin heart rate monitor - Garmin chest strap:

A Garmin chest strap operates a bit differently from the watch's heart rate monitor. A Garmin chest strap can capture rapid pulse changes, such as during interval training.
If you know you're looking for a Garmin chest strap, you might still wonder which one to choose. On our inspiration page, we have an article about that.
At RunningXpert, you find Garmin chest straps (HRM) in three versions: Garmin HRM-Run, Garmin HRM-Pro, and Garmin HRM-Dual. The Garmin heart rate monitor, in the form of the HRM-Run strap, is ideal for serious runners. The Garmin HRM Tri is no longer available, but we recommend our other three versions as great alternatives.
Garmin HRM-Pro has built-in memory and replaces the HRM-Run and HRM-Tri.
