Garmin 010-12883-00 HRM-Dual Heart Rate Monitor

Great bit of kit, works very well, I’m a very big build, 45 inch chest, and the XL fits me fine. I tried about five other heart monitors before, but they all came up too tight. Although I had several in the past, which fitted but seems they were making them smaller when I was buying Has paired well with my iPhone and iPad over the last year. Not had any issues until just now when the battery was clearly running low. My version comes with 4 torx screws covering the back of it to change the battery. Unfortunately, mine didn’t come with the torx screwdriver. So I called Garmin, extremely helpful and even after a year they very kindly sent me one free of charge So definitely would prioritise buying Garmin products in the future given that service Would recommend for others

Bought to use with an indoor bike/turbotrainer/Zwift set up, after an older Garmin HR belt gave up. This one is better than the previous version in that the electronics module unclips so the belt can be washed. It also has four contact patches rather than two. In use, I found that wetting the pads with water wasn't sufficient to get a good contact and the signal only became reliable after I started sweating. The easy solution to get accurate recording from the start of the workout was to buy some cheap massage lubricant and use a dab as electrode paste. Instant contact, reliable readings throughout the workout. All good so far!

Works as intended. A bit faffy to get it connected, had to look online for instructions. I tried to connect this first to my Garmin Connect app, the device isn't listed. Managed to force the app to search for the monitor, it saw it but still threw up errors when trying to connect. My conclusion is it just isn't compatible which is bizarre. For me it was no issue, as I really bought this monitor to pair up with my Fenix 5 watch. I'm still learning my way around the watch, so a quick google found me some instructions on how to connect the two, a few simple steps later and I was good to go. Its a budget monitor so expect budget. There's no LED's or anything whatsoever to show if it's on or off. The monitor only transmits Bluetooth when a heart beat is detected or at least that seems to be the case, worthwhile knowing for those struggling to connect to the device. In summary, I got this for £40 in used - like new condition, it works perfectly fine for me, after a bit of faffing. Seems accurate enough, not too different from the watch's own reading when not connected, 4 stars overall due to the lack of app connectivity/compatibility as well as the slight hassle setting the device up first time. I wouldn't pay full price on this monitor (£50-£60) as a little bit more will get you a better Garmin HR monitor, but worth it if you can find it for 40 or less.

I have always thought about a heart rate monitor, even though I have a Garmin vivoactive V watch, so I finally got around to buying this one. It was so very easy to pair with my Garmin watch, and once its paired whenever you put the strap back on, it pairs straight away between the strap and the watch. I found it easy to wet, place and tighten the strap onto the bottom bit of your chest, and it stays in place, ands you don't realise you have it on. I only received the strap last week but I have done one parkrun and two other 5k runs, the heart rate data is then downloaded from my strap, to my watch, to my phone via Garmin connect and then to Strava. The data seems on par with what I would of expected, and differs a little bit but not excessive from my Garmin Vivoactive 5. I am certainly going to continue wearing this monitor, as I was a little worried that my heart rate may be getting too high when running and causing me to stop on a few runs over the past year. For the money and peace of mind this strap does the job sufficently well,.

I've been using the Garmin Premium Heart Rate Chest Strap for a few weeks now, and I'm blown away by its accuracy and comfort. The real-time heart rate data transmission via Bluetooth and ANT+ has taken my training sessions to the next level. With a battery life that's promised to last around 3.5 years, it's clear this strap is built to last. It's incredibly comfortable to wear, thanks to the soft material and adjustable strap, making long workout sessions a breeze. Plus, it seamlessly connects with all my Garmin devices as well as online training apps, ensuring I'm always on top of my fitness game. The black color is sleek and unobtrusive, and the compact packaging was a nice touch. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or just starting out, this heart rate chest strap is a must-have for anyone serious about their health and fitness goals. Absolutely recommend!

Does exactly what is says on the tin. Measurements are instant and accurate, and the battery life pretty much endless. I've also had Wahoo HRM, very comparable. The battery is screw sealed, which is pretty good thing as most HRM failures are due to sweat and moisture getting into the battery compartment. The unscrew tool is provided should you need to replace the battery. This will work with any Bluetooth GPS unit, so connects to my Wahoo instantly.

I have been using Garmin Forerunner for the past 2 years and for the past few months, the HR measurement is way off. I'd be be panting for breath after sprinting and instead of the usual expected 160+ measurement I would be getting a measurement of 120! I thought buying a HRM would be cheaper than replacing the watch and probably offer a better reading than any watch which relies on optical measurement could. But unfortunately, this HRM Dual was not fit for purpose. I paired it with my watch and started a workout. But instead of using the HR data from the HRM, the recorded activity had the HR data from the watch. It completely defeats the point of it. To circumvent this, I removed the watch and started the activity. But this time there was no HR measurement at all! I contacted Garmin support who said that I need to keep my watch on. But how do you for the software to pick the right HR data? They couldn't answer that. They suggested using the HRM on my partner's Venu and I had the same issue. A complete waste of time.

To start with this took a while to figure out how to connect to the various devices, but once I had it works very effectively and reliably. Much more accurate than the Garmin Vivoactive 3 I use it with, but weirdly you can’t connect it as a device on Garmin Connect, but syncs well via Bluetooth and works no problem with other non-Garmin stuff like Proform, indeed I’d say better. Easy to wear, comfortable and doesn’t move. As it’s more accurate I tend to use it for running, weights, cardio and even yoga to ensure I’m in the right zone. Still use the watch for walking though as it’s more convenient. Had the old ANT+ version, but this one has Bluetooth and is so much more usable and convenient. Can’t evaluate battery life as only been using for a few months.

Utilisation avec compteur Garmin et Zwift. Reconnaissance immédiate. Aucun soucis.

I got it to accurately monitor my heart rate during workouts where I have to take off my watch (mainly when boxing) it is very accurate and instantly connects to my garmin watch. Comfortable to wear even when I'm soaking in my sweat, I forget it's there. It measures my HR instantly and accurately during any workout. The only thing I noticed is that it tends to stop measuring for a few seconds sometimes and I don't know the reason for this. Other than that, it's a great monitor from a great brand

Garmin heart rate belt. Easy to attach it but impossible to connect to GARMIN watch.

Der Garmin HRM-DUAL Brustgurt ist nicht nur ein Herzfrequenzmesser – er ist praktisch ein kleines Fitnesstudio in Gurtform, das mir täglich verrät, wie untrainiert ich eigentlich bin. Diese kleine Maschine sitzt an meiner Brust, schaut sich meine Herzfrequenz an und denkt sich vermutlich nur: „Wow, du nennst das Laufen?“ Hier ein Einblick in mein Abenteuer mit dem wohl ehrlichsten Fitness-Gadget, das ich je besessen habe. Komfort, der sich festklammert Ich dachte ja immer, so ein Brustgurt ist unbequem und irgendwie störend – aber der Garmin HRM-DUAL hat mich eines Besseren belehrt. Der sitzt da wie festgeklebt und klammert sich an mich, als hätte er einen Vertrag unterschrieben. Selbst wenn ich wie ein Flummi durch den Park hüpfe, bleibt er an Ort und Stelle und lässt mich nicht im Stich. Fast schon wie ein treuer Freund… oder wie ein kleiner Fitnesskritiker, der immer am Puls der Sache ist (wortwörtlich). Genauigkeit, die mich nervös macht Jeder Herzschlag wird gnadenlos aufgezeichnet. Jedes Zucken, jeder Sprint – alles landet in der App, und ich kann mir nichts vormachen. Der Garmin HRM-DUAL sagt mir präzise, wie meine Herzfrequenz beim Joggen durch die Decke geht und wie sie beim Bergauf-Marschieren regelrecht explodiert. Manchmal bekomme ich beinahe den Drang, den Gurt anzuflehen: „Sei nicht so ehrlich, ich tu doch mein Bestes!“ Aber nein – der Garmin ist gnadenlos. Zahlen lügen nicht. Verbindet sich mit allem – und ich meine allem Dieser Gurt ist die Bluetooth- und ANT+-Königin. Er verbindet sich nicht nur mit meinem Handy, sondern auch mit dem Fitnessgerät, meinem Smartwatch und vermutlich auch mit dem Toaster, wenn der könnte. Ich habe das Gefühl, der Garmin HRM-DUAL würde mich überall hin verfolgen, nur um sicherzugehen, dass er bloß keinen Herzschlag verpasst. Ein echter Überwacher für meine sportlichen Eskapaden – oder für die Momente, wenn ich auf der Couch liege und sehen will, ob mein Herz dabei auch Kalorien verbrennt. Akku für die Ewigkeit – oder zumindest für einige marathongroße Couch-Sessions Der Akku hält so lange, dass ich manchmal das Gefühl habe, er ist aus der Zukunft gekommen. Einmal anlegen, und ich kann tagelang „am Herz der Dinge“ bleiben, ohne mir Gedanken um das Aufladen zu machen. Ehrlich gesagt, wenn ich mir anschaue, wie lange dieser Gurt durchhält, frage ich mich, warum ich das nicht auch schaffe. Motivation? Check. Akku-Power? Check. Einziger Unterschied: Ich muss zwischendurch was trinken. Fazit: Der kleine, ehrliche Drill-Sergeant, der dir ständig den Puls fühlt Der Garmin HRM-DUAL ist der beste Brustgurt, den ich mir wünschen konnte – und wahrscheinlich der kritischste. Er lässt keine Ausrede durch und sagt mir gnadenlos, wie viel oder wenig ich wirklich aus mir heraushole. Ein Top-Gadget für alle, die nicht nur trainieren, sondern es ernsthaft wissen wollen. Also los, anlegen, und sich überraschen lassen, was das Herz so alles tut (oder nicht tut). Aber Vorsicht: Er lügt nicht!
