Garmin HRM 200 Heart Rate Monitor, Accurate Heart Rate and HRV Data, Comfortable Machine Washable Strap, M-XL

Easy to set up and excellent readings. Always reads well and very dependable

Connects quickly to Garmin watch, provides accurate heart rate data, and reasonably priced. Great product as long as it consistently stands up to workout abuse. I will update this review if my opinion of it changes.

It works as it should. Connecting to multiple platforms (edge 540, iPhone, lap top) is a breeze. Sometimes its data shows up on my device and I am left wondering how it knew I wanted that to happen. Oh and it stays right where you put it.

Heart rate accuracy is good and easily pairs with my Garmin bicycle computer. Contact with skin is improved with electrode gel instead of water. Water alone allows some HR spikes. Wash the strap before first use. I didn't and got a rash. Battery life is used from the time the strap is put on until removed. So if the strap is put on, then you travel 2 hours, exercise for 4 hours and travel 2 hours, total battery use is 8 hours - not just the 4 hours of exercise.

It has made a huge difference in my training. It's well made and reasonably easy to care for. No connection issues. I use it with the "Map my Walk" app. It's been great. I've been using it for months, still don't need a battery.

Another quality Garmin product. I got it to go with my Rogue Echo 3 bike and it pairs quickly and consistently.

Does not easily display heart rate.. you have to jump thru a million hoops to get live heart rate.

Easy to use and wash -- very accurate readings. Comfortable in such a way that I can forget it is there.
