Heart Rate Monitor

Overview


Train more effectively with a Garmin Heart Rate Monitor. When you carry the sensor around your chest during an activity, your heart rate is wirelessly transmitted to your compatible GPSr. So you know immediately how intensively you train. The belt is made of a soft material and offers high wearing comfort. The size is adjustable so that the belt rests securely against the body during the activity. After the first pairing with your compatible GPSr, the Heart Rate Monitor is detected automatically each time. In addition, the Heart Rate Monitor is optimized for busy places like fitness studios or road racing so only your GPSr receives the data signal from your Heart Rate Monitor.
