Fina-freaking-ly, Garmin admits through engineering their previous battery compartment was complete and utter bull-plop.

Ultimately, when you pair it up to any Garmin device, you should *ALWAYS* choose ANT+ first (which, it’ll default to). That’s because Garmin sends extra data via ANT+ that it doesn’t via Bluetooth Smart (in part because the standards exist on ANT+ that don’t exist on Bluetooth Smart). There’s essentially three levels/components of direct watch integration with the HRM-PRO Plus: Funguje to ale jen tehdy, pokud jsou hodinky z dosahu, případně pokud jsou zcela odpojené. V opačném případě se kroky a tepovka stále načítají z hodinek, a to i tehdy, pokud nejsou na ruce. A tehdy byste samozřejmě žádné kroky nezískali. Je proto vhodné, pokud chcete načítat data tepové frekvence a kroků z hruďáku, mít hodinky vypnuté, nebo alespoň odpojené od mobilu. So…1) All I need to do is use the HRM Pro+ Strap and run per usual, but will now see run power data? (if I configure my data field, of course)? It replaces the watch’s optical HR sensor? If you want a more accurate heart measurement than the wrist heart rate measurement in your watch, then you can put on the Garmin HRM-PRO belt at the same time as you start an activity on your watch. The measurements of the belt will overrule the wrist measurements.

Compare that to the yellow HRM-PRO strap which requires access with a small screwdriver, tools, and ensuring you re-seat the o-ring correctly (else, you’ll damage it and kill your strap); V deníku Connect jsem tedy měl celkem tři plavací aktivity. Pokud data z hruďáku stáhnete rovnou, pak se aktivita uloží jen jedna – mě se ale nechtěly hodinky k hruďáku připojit a podařilo se mi to až zpětně. Díky této „chybě“ mám ale k dispozici srovnání plavání s hruďákem a optikou. A co jsem zjistil? Hodinky Fénix 6X celou dobu proměřovaly, zatímco Epixy po prvním intervalu, který byl nadhodnocen, měřily stejně jako hruďák.

It actually shouldn’t matter here for the strap pairing, since the learning is happening from the strap + GPS (if outdoors).Next, here’s a more boring steady-state run. Again, some minor wobbles in Whoop, but the FR255 and HRM-PRO Plus matched up; NOTICE! Running Dynamics analyze your running dynamics. So even if you can use the heart rate belt for cycling, you won´t get your cycling cadence reproduced. RUNNING POWER As this review started off, the HRM-PRO Plus is essentially a modest upgrade from the HRM-PRO. For most people, there’s zero reason to upgrade from an existing HRM-PRO. Namely, because the HRM-PRO gets the new software features, and the only hardware changes is the battery compartment, which is aimed at reducing issues there. So simply put, you might as well keep chugging along with the HRM-PRO till you kill it, rather than replace it outright. At least, that’d be my thinking.
