Thank's Avery!!
I already have the HRM Pro-Plus, but it's just like to see more data about the pace and distance.
Hope you make a video that shows how to use the Activities feature in this device, such as Running, Cycling, Swimming...etc. Also how to add activities not listed under this title, such as hiking.
My HRm Pro + review:
I upgraded my Garmin 405 to the Garmin 955 through a trade-in program and, in doing so, also upgraded my Heart Rate Monitor Strap (Garmin - HRM1B) and bike sensors to work with the 955. I love the 955, but the strap is a hot mess. I wanted the HRM Pro + strap to track my steps and heart rate without wearing the 955. Great I can wear the strap while doing yard work without possible damage to the 955. Another benefit is that the strap removes the need for a foot pod that I had to have for indoor running with the 405. It sounded like a win, win.
I had to fully extend the Garmin HRM Pro + strap to wear it; it was about as tight as the older Garmin HRM1B. The strap was a snuggle fit, but it didn't prevent breathing. I would have adjusted it to be a bit looser if I was able. Not much more, probably another inch, but the strap is as
loose as it can go. The area the strap fits around on me is 42", and the HRM1B may have had about an additional inch of play. The issue is the design of the HRM Pro +. It is an all-in-one design with the strap over-molded onto the fabric strap with a metal C Clasp to hold it in place. The C Clasp is supposed to be prevented from touching the skin with the use of a thin small pad that goes under it and between your skin and the C Clasp. The pad is not big enough, and the C Clasp causes the pad to become rigid against the skin and, for me, caused a large horizontal gash about two inches long after wearing it for about 4 to 6 hours while mowing the lawn and doing some yard work! The older Garmin HRM1B heart rate strap was a much better design. The sensor area was separate from the strap, didn't have sharp edges but was rounded with about 1/8" thickness, and connected clasps that were shaped to fit your chest better and never to cut into you! My older Garmin HRM1B still works with a few battery replacements but was so comfortable I could wear it for hours without issue, but it lacks the updated connectivity and capabilities of the HRM Pro +.
I contacted Garmin support about the strap cutting me, and they requested I send them the HRM back for review. I did so to help and provided in-depth thoughts on the design as well as pictures. I requested some sizing guidance and was told the HRM Pro + should be fine for a 42" chest measurement.
Below are Garmin’s questions and my answers regarding the HRM Pro +
Do you think that it may be the fabric tab and not the metal clasp?
>>
Great question, and after placing the strap on and looking at where the cut is, I was wondering the same thing. Admittedly I am not in the shape I once was
and after looking at this, I believe that bending or moving the tab with the clasp under it was rubbing my skin, and after some time, it irritated and cut into my skin.
I am unsure if the protected plastic tab (it doesn't look like fabric to me) or clasp (which looks to be plastic and smooth) caused the cut, but I believe it is a combination of both.
The clasp rests at the very top of the plastic tab and stiffens the edge of the tab, making it more likely to cut into flesh like a paper cut.
The plastic tab does have a fine edge. I believe this edge being supported by the clasp under it caused the cut. (See attached)
There isn't enough plastic tab to roll over the clasp allowing the edge to collapse, reducing the edge contacting the body during movement.
I might suggest making the tab wider so it can flex and bend over the clasp as the body moves, or a Velcro option might work as long as the Velcro edge is below the strap edge.
Another option might have a material you wrap over the clasp and lock it in place with Velcro or make the plastic tab thicker like found on the older Garmin HRM1B. (See Pic)
Also, do you think there is enough band that we can try a little looser next time? Or are you at the end of the band? Let me know, and I appreciate the help.
>>
As discussed, the band is adjusted fully open, and no slack is available. I didn't feel the band digging in, but my skin and flesh were pressed into the band at the plastic tab/clasp area during movement.
The measure I took just below my pectoral muscles where I wear the strap was 42". The older Garmin HRM1B strap is just a bit looser and has more strap adjustment available but has a thicker
band in the same area; the HRM Pro + clasp and plastic tab rest on your body. (See attached) The HRM1B strap is connected to my 955 and is called HR - 28350 in the 955 settings.
I did try to loosen the HRM Pro + a little bit more, but the stitching of the seam at the length adjustment area prevents this and will bunch up, creating a less-than
smooth strap. (See attached) The strap was a snuggle fit, but it didn't prevent breathing. I would have adjusted it to be a bit looser if I was able. Not much more, probably another inch, but the strap is as
loose as it can go.
Ok, so I receive a replacement, and it is still too small to fit, but the over-molded area of the sensors has a sharp edge you can feel with your fingers! The other band did not have a sharp edge like the replacement leading me to believe there are manufacturing issues. I wore the band for less than an hour, and it was cutting into me where the sensor over-mold area was sharp to touch. The C Clasp was just as bad, and I could feel it start to dig in there as well. I am highly disappointed in this strap and will return it and use the older Garmin strap until I find something else. I see some other reviewers have had similar experiences with the HRM Pro + strap, and it might be the strap is just a bit tight, and the edges need to be a bit wider with a rounded edge to make it as comfortable as the older Garmin HRM1B. Per Garmin, the HRM Pro + is meant to be a throw-away strap with about a two-year life expectancy! Wow, I think that tells it all when the older Garmin strap is still working today. I am sure this strap will work for some, but I cannot recommend it at this time.
Same problem as you m8. Garmin thinks i am crazy. Whatever strap i wear from Garmin cut my skin...
Thanks for the review. I ordered the HRM Pro + to use with my new 955 after upgrading from a 405 and HRM1B Heart Rate Monitor. The HRM Pro + is not as comfortable as the HRM1B, and I don't believe the attachment clip will last. The HRM1B was sculptured to your body, you could just replace the stretch band, and it was easier to clean. The HRM Pro + is a throw-away device if the strap wears out or the attachment clip breaks! The production cost of this device is definitely less than the HRM1B. The little pad that goes between your body and the attachment clip on the Pro is not large enough to prevent the clip from digging into you. Unfortunately, the HRM Pro + is the strap to have if you own the 955, but I wish it was more comfortable as I also want to wear it without my watch to track activities like yard work (steps). I like the fact that you can do this with the HRM Pro +, and I can ditch the foot pod for indoor treadmill runs. Maybe I will get used to the strap, but after seeing many reports of the HRM Pro failing in a year or so, I am concerned about its longevity. Cross my fingers.
I wore the new HRM Pro + for the first time today while doing yard work, and it tracked my steps and heart rate, but it also cut into my side at the clip! I know have a welt there after wearing it for five hours. The strap is as tight as my older HRM1B, and I have loosened it as far as possible. I don't believe it is too tight, but the design is flawed. The clip does not stay under the small flap on the band but rides up and contacts my chest digging into it! Not sure the benefits outweigh the lack of comfort while wearing.
Can you watch live data through the Garmin app on your phone while working out if you don’t have a Garmin watch?
Will estimated VO2 be available for indoor running now that pace/distance is available for indoor training?
Why don't you create a device with a rechargeable battery? In my opinion, for those who use it in swimming, the device ends up damaging when it is necessary to change the battery. After opening the device, the seal is no longer the same. Water ends up getting in. A device with a rechargeable battery would not need to be opened. This would eliminate the risk of water entering, as with watches.
I was thinking the same thing! Cost maybe? The price of the device would go up, possibly over $200. Worth the price?
Garmin wants you to buy a new device later.
@Dossey528 200$? Are you kidding me? For 200$ you can buy amazfit gtr 4 with oled screen, heart rate monitor, gps and metallic body :) and of course with rechargable battery lol
If they wanted to be the real goats they would have the same charger as the watches.
Just as the original HRM pro-strap received a software update so it also reports pace and distance now, you should really update the RD pod with those metrics. I do have both the new HRM Pro Plus-strap and the RD pod. However, when racing I much prefer not to wear a chest strap, but don't mind wearing the tiny RD pod.
I totally agree. They should upgrade their RD Pod.
Is It possible to see live during training Heart rate in Garmin connect (without smartwatch)?
Does this HRM-Pro Plus syn with a iPhone 11 Pro Max with iOS 16.1.2?
I've used it twice during martial arts training and I see that it lost my pulse 2-3 times per training. For 10-15 sec. Any idea why? I didn't use it during sparring.
Hi how it’s work in short distance? Specifically in sprint distance like 20, 30 50 100 m or even 400 m when I make repetitions, do you have a experience of any sprinter? and RUNNING DYNAMICS POD the same question for it, 👍
Didnt talk about metrics measured on my Garmin watch, surely the main reason to get one 🤨
I wanted to buy HRM Pro Plus or HRM Run but the comments are discouraging. Do I have to buy a new device in a year or two??
Is that an Oura ring he is wearing? :)
Where can I buy the shirt?
I have heart failure...Would had been great if this had a alarm
How many devices can the HRM-Rro Plus connect to at the same time?
I have a Forerunner 955 solar, Treadmill, Rowing machine and Stationary Bikes. only the 955 support ANT+, the others use Bluetooth.
Thank you for your question. With the HRM-Pro Plus, you can have unlimited concurrent ANT+ connections and up to 3 concurrent BLE connections. So, you can connect your smartwatch through ANT+ and the 3 pieces of equipment though BLE.
The improvements to accuracy compared to some watches don't matter since it only works with garmin watches
Do I need to wear or own a garmin watch? I mean, can I use this band with an iphone?
Yes, but only for HR and HRV, all the other metrics only work with the right Garmin watches.
Would it work straight with the app without a watch?
That's a great question. The activity tracking feature of the HRM-Pro Plus records your step count, calories, intensity minutes, and all-day heart rate (without a watch). You just need to pair it with your Garmin Connect account. However, it will not track a TIMED activity without starting the activity on your compatible Garmin smartwatch. I hope this helps.
Does this new HRM survive battery change? I lost my HRM-Run last year and today my HRM-Dual. Both after battery change and two weeks latter moisture getting inside due to cracks in the screws housing.
Please, it’s no reasonable this kind of product die in this way.
Same problem here. My HRM last for only 8 months and I used it about 3 times a week. I changed battery once and after that problema start. It was a Garmin HRM Pro. Before this strap I used a HRM Dual at half the price and last me more about one and a half year.
My 4th strap died after a battery change.I gave up buying a new one every year.Considering polar H10 instead
@@bazsika18 damn Garmin HRM 's
@@bazsika18 was it this new one?
@@drigobarreto 16month..
Can all data just send info to phone instead of a garmin watch ?
Also does it do hrv ?
Thank you for your question. For live heart rate data, yes you would be able to use 3rd part apps like Strava or Zwift. While it can also pair with the Garmin Connect app, it won't provide live heart rate data in our app but would occasionally sync to provide wellness metrics like steps, calories, and intensity minutes (No HRV when using the app).
As I’ve understood it, it can do 24-7 heart rate measurements and upload to the app, but a watch is needed to actually start an activity. Also that if I am doing some sport where I can’t wear a watch I can start the activity on the watch and have the heart rate strap do the data collection. However, does this only work with a Garmin watch that is connected to the strap? I have a Vivomove Sport which unfortunately is not compatible with a strap. Could I still start an activity, set aside the watch and wear the chest strap and have the app sort out the data afterwards? Or does the data have to go through the watch? (I don’t care about live data)
@@SetsunaJiba The short answer is that for any data to be associated with an activity without wearing a Garmin device, the heart rate monitor would have to be paired to the watch recording the activity. Since the vivomove Sport does not pair with the HRM-Pro Plus, you could capture the activity with the watch, but without wearing it you would just show the time of the activity without any other data. For additional information and further assistance, please reach out to our Product Support team at 800-800-1020 or support.garmin.com. They will be happy to assist.
Thank you for the quick response! Unfortunately wearing a watch during martial arts is not an option.
