Sweet, how long have you been using it ?

Hi all, bought an entry level Forerunber 55, but don't like it as it's too small ( looks like a pea on a barrel ) ! Don't like the 165, or 265, but have my eye on the Epix gen 2 ( £320 ). Also looked at the new instinct 3 (£420 ) but doesn't have touchscreen Any other models which have large dial, a...

Thanks for the reply. I went for the Garmin HRM dual £40, and it fits the bigger boned man ! Only negative is it doesn't pair directly to the Connect app. You have to pair it with the watch, then upload it.

Thanks a lot

Sorry for my ignorance, but how do you upload the erg workout to Garmin Connect please ?

JaapvanE you are right about the confusion with Garmin. I sent a few emails asking for advice and didn't recieve a reply. I am quite happy that I am able to both have my workout recorded via my mobile phone on the erg , and also my heart rate reading via the watch to the Garmin. Thanks to you guys f...

Tsnor, thanks for the always excellent instructions. Regarding connecting the HRM Dual to Garmin Connect this particular cannot be paired as stated on there app. It's a shame, but as you said the watch will do this anyway so winner winner chicken dinner All I wanted was to see in real time my HR so ...

Wow, what an indepth well written explanation, thank you so much for taking all that time to explain it to me. So if I am understanding correctly it will be primarily be not only the erg, but also my watch that uploads the workout to Garmin connect ? Because the Garmin HRM dual chest strap doesn't c...

Thanks for reply. What I want to do is wear chest strap connect to watch to record workout, and also connect chest strap to PM5 to record also. Sounds complicated but I just want to work out at my chosen heart rate and record in both the watch, and the erg app.

PM5 yes lol. Bought the Garmin HRM Dual chest strap ( £40) and Garmin Forererunner 55 watch ( £95 ).

Got to work out how I pair the chest strap to the watch and mobile phone app now !

Turns out I'm too fat for the polar chest strap ! Found that Garmin hrm dual fits, but don't know which watch is compatible ? Google isn't ant help lol.

Thanks for the reply. Funny you should mention Polar because I have seen The new polar H10 chest strap with Polar watch for £253. Quite expensive but they do link to the MP5.

Hi everyone, I am having a lot of confusion chossing a heart rate monitor ! If I buy a chest strap, I want to see the actual real time readings on a watch. Do I need to buy a set ( matching strap and watch ) or can I buy a separate chest strap and watch ? I have seen a Polar chest strap, but I don't...

Thanks for the replies
