Garmin HRM-Fit Heart Rate Monitor for Women

Works great but takes a while to get used to wearing it. It’s not exactly comfortable.

This is the best heart rate monitor if you’re wearing a sports bra. I don’t feel it, and get the data I’m looking for pretty seamlessly through the watch and app.

I got my hrm-fit about a month ago- it’s so easy to clip to my sports bra and to connect with my watch. I feel that my HR data is much cleaner than what I was getting from my wrist. I’m very happy with this purchase!

I bought this because my watch (forerunner 265S) was lagging behind on workouts, telling me that my HR was in the 130s when I was at VO2 max pace and struggling to breathe. The data from the HRM is wayyy better and comes in much faster than my watch, making it easier to pace during workouts. The fit is perfect and stays pretty tight to my chest even with a small chest. I never really think about it and usually forget I’m wearing it. Highly recommend

Really handy to be able to clip to a sports bra and not worry about a full body strap being moved around or uncomfortable underneath it.

El medidor de freciencia Garmin me gusta debido a que especifica todos los datos y detalles relevantes para mi entrenamiento y carreras. Me ayuda a conocer mi límite y mi medición en muchos detalles importantes.

I bought this a month ago and have tried it with each of my three Champion Shock absorber bras. Unfortunately after about 45-60 min of running, the edges of the HRM-fit start chafing on both sides. Not a lot, but it is definitely uncomfortable. Other than that the HRM-Fit fits really well and the heart rate readings are great.

I wore this HR monitor to sync to my Garmin Venu2 while training for the NYC marathon. When donned properly (wetting in first) it gave great readings and info BUT caused chaffing. I had great difficulty wearing it for every training run and eventually abandoned it. The chaffing was primarily on my sternum dead center but occasionally under the side clips too. I used some lubricants to help my skin but never quite figured it out and the raw skin was painful with sweat. As I begin training for this years race I will need to find another HR monitor.

The idea is good, and I think it's worth pursuing. However, at this stage it's rather early to market something like that. The type of bras are very restricted and even if it works, the sharp edges irritate and hurt my skin. In addition, you cannot wash it properly cause you cannot remove the electronic part, so it smells batteries/burnt electronic after about 3 months of moderate use. This is obviously a feature of several high-end models. I hope Garmin will solve the issues in the future but right now it's simply not worth buying.

Super convenient for volleyball. Connects with my watch seamlessly. I only wish it was rechargeable instead of using batteries.

I wanted to see if my Fenix 7 was giving me accurate readings with the wrist based. It’s actually not too far off so I started to have buyers remorse. Then I realized how annoying it was to wear the watch doing any kind of boxing or weight training/ push up planks etc. total game changer. It’s easy to put on and I mostly only feel it when stretching at the end of class in a rotation. We did do some prone back work in one class and that was a tad uncomfortable. I love wearing it to hiit classes. It’s instantly connected and hasn’t lost its connection thus far. It syncs fast and I get my step count if my hands are full. I haven’t run with it on yet

This is noticeably more comfortable and less restrictive than a traditional HRM. Would love a rechargeable option! The battery door came so tight I couldn't change it and had to warranty the whole HRM when the battery needed to be replaced, otherwise awesome product!

I wear the monitor and it is showing it is connected to my phone and my Forerunner 255S but I can not find where to view the heart rate monitor results. It also does not show on my Garmin while running in real time. I have read all the troubleshooting articles and searched the Garmin website and YouTube videos without any luck. It fits well but the manual has not been helpful and I am ready to return it

I bought two weeks ago and it’s out of battery already

This monitor clips onto any bra, handy. Works great, don’t even know it’s on.

The strap is comfortable, stays in place even during intense training sessions, and the battery life is impressive. Setup was quick, and it syncs with my Garmin watch and app instantly. Some users mention that it can rub or buckle on the sides, but I haven’t experienced any of these issues. It’s so comfortable that i usually forget I’m wearing it. I went from a full chest strap to this version.

SO SO happy with this HR monitor. I had the regular ole chest monitor and I hated the feeling of it squeezing me and sometimes it would even aggravate my heartburn from the pressure. This is so much more comfortable for me and works just as well. I only use this when cycling paired with my Garmin bike computer so can't speak for other sports but it stays put well and always connected.

I had to return it because I couldn t pair it with the app/ Watch.

I replaced my original HRM with the fit version. This one is reduced the pressure on your chest with the clip on feature. I actually don’t mind wearing it every run because I forget I have it on.

I bought this about a month ago because I'm convinced my Garmin Forerunner 265 doesn't correctly track my heart rate when running. I now get a heart rate that seems more accurate with my perceived exertion, so I'm convinced the HRM-Fit is doing its job. The band does sometimes bunch with my sports bra, but even so, still tracks my heart rate even when the three clipped spots aren't all touching my chest. I've used it running outside (streets and trails), on the treadmill and playing volleyball, and it's never fallen off or slipped too much. I have yet to go on a run longer than 45 minutes, but when I do, I expect some chafing. For me, chafing happens no matter what, so can't fault a garmin product for that. One of my guy friends warned that the band would get sweaty and dirty and lose accuracy because of salt build up, based on his use of one of other Garmin heart rate bands that wrap entirely around your chest. I have yet to have this problem, and with the short plastic band, I don't expect it to be an issue. A nice bonus that a product made for us boob-havers is even better than the default product!
