Garmin HRM-Fit Heart Rate Monitor for Women

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!

I've only used basic heart rate function so far, but love the ease of clipping the monitor onto the band of my sports bra; it stays in place and I don't even notice it's there. It is a bit spendy given all the functionality, but for me is worth it since I don't have to deal with a separate band in addition to my bra.

While checking if the device already came with battery, I broke the battery cap holder, as it was cemented to device. Poor design or plastic quality

Love this heart rate monitor (HRM). It holds onto my bras well, is light and practically unnoticeable wearing it, and easy to connect to the watch/app. I also tested a short jog on the treadmill with and without the monitor. This seems to be more accurate than just the watch alone. You can also use the monitor without a Garmin watch; just load the data into your computer. You can also rinse and do a light wash of this HRM to keep it clean. If you’re in the market for a heart rate monitor and wear sports bras, this is a great one!

The HR monitor is accurate, however it is very bulky and gets in the way when doing chest supported weight lifting exercises. I have stopped wearing it for this reason.

So far so good. I like it a lot. It does have a few issues which aren't major ones. It connects best to thick banded bras. Some of my favorite running bras are a little thin so it feels like it could slip out at any time. So far it has not come close but feels like it could. Lastly if you are doing any type of bending or crunches you will definitely feel it poke in the middle. But overall I like it and will continue to use it during my training.

I am having a problem keeping the clips attached to my sports bra. The middle one is fine.

Clips only to tie-fit high bras. When bra moves with my body turns/stretches - it moves too: I have to readjust it (constantly checking if it fits me perfectly). The clips are big and uncomfortable when you do belly-down exercises. Many times the clips would unclip. Wouldn't buy it again if I knew all this. Wish could replace it with the normal style monitor.

I bought this at a Boston pop up last year. It’s marketed to not cause chafing. I’ve tried it with so many sports bras. I’m done with it. I’ve been chafing to the point of bleeding. I’ve tried to use glide and similar products to help but nothing lasts through a long run.

Is good, but when I wear it for a long distance run, make blisters in my chest
