- Does the HRM 600 work with phones and non-Garmin devices?
- It sends heart rate over both ANT+ and Bluetooth, so it pairs with Garmin watches and bike computers as well as phones and apps that accept standard Bluetooth heart rate straps.
- How is it different from a wrist heart rate sensor?
- A chest strap sits closer to the heart and responds faster to quick changes in effort, which matters for intervals. Wrist optical sensors are more convenient but can lag or drop out during hard efforts.
- Do I need to wet the strap before use?
- Yes. Dry electrodes can read poorly at the start, so moisten the electrode pads or start sweating before you rely on the numbers.
- How do I clean it?
- Detach the transmitter pod and rinse the strap, then wash it by hand or in a machine in a laundry bag. Wipe the pod with a damp cloth and never put it in the wash.
- Does it record heart rate on its own?
- No. It has no onboard memory, so it must be connected to a watch, bike computer or phone to log data.
- What is in the box?
- The transmitter pod and the soft strap in the XS-S size.
