Reviews

I've used my Garmin heart rate senior on many runs now and I can say it really does make a big difference, I certainly feel my heart rate measurements are a tad bit more accurate with. Original review (~6/22): I'm a garmin fr935 watch user and avid runner. Why did that happen- can’t say - went I went to open it to replace the battery the first time it was already broken and I managed to get it sealed again. Upgraded to 5 stars for the customer service.

Fits comfortably for me, my chest is 42" so have no problems there it's also very comfortable and I don't feel it while running, only grip is that I have pretty big late so it does slide down sometimes but not enough to cause any issues. Update (8/22): Contacted Garmin Support dept and they replaced the HRM-pro for free. Opened it up and noticed condensation in the battery compartment so decided that it was terminal enough to do "major" surgery to investigate. All the functions off this strap worked well in running, rowing, and indoor exercise settings.

I only rinsed the strap under warm water and occasionally used soap. This seems to be a pretty common problem with these series of garmin hrm units (pro, tri, run, etc) so buyer beware. A small crack developed on the base plastic near one of the screw mounting points that must have caused a leak. This has gotten a lot of use and after 16 months and two battery changes it finally died.

Explained what happened and provided proof of purchase (~6mo outside factory warranty period) and they sent a link for a no-charge order for a new unit. But, have already used it for 40 miles in a matter of 4 days.

If you go into the purchase knowing it will only last about a year (over the 1 year limited warranty), it will save you a headache down the road…which will be in about a year 😂. It got used 6 days a week while I was riding, running and swimming. ). The battery life has no complaints from me, been using it on a regular basis and it's still on full charge, wonders of a cell battery, it was a tad bit expensive but all in all I'd say it was definitely money well spent for me
