FAQ

Why use a chest strap over wrist-based heart rate?: A chest strap sensor measures electrical signals from your heart directly on the chest wall, providing more accurate data than wrist-based optical sensors, especially at high intensities, during intervals, and in cold conditions where wrist blood flow is reduced.

Does the HRM 200 record data without a paired device?: No. The HRM 200 transmits data in real time to a paired device but does not record independently when disconnected. For standalone recording, see the HRM 600.

What is the difference between the HRM 200 and HRM 600?: The HRM 200 uses a non-rechargeable battery rated up to one year. The HRM 600 has a rechargeable battery rated up to two months per charge, adds standalone recording, swim HR, and full running dynamics including step speed loss.

Best For

Cyclists and multi-sport athletes who want accurate chest-strap heart rate and HRV data across all training activities without standalone recording or swimming features. The M-XL fits most adult chest sizes. Step down from the HRM 600 when those premium features are not needed.
