What comes with PM5?

[Romper]

I just exchanged my PM4 over to the PM5 module for my C2E ERG.

All i was handed was the unit and the USB stick - nothing else.

Can you tell me if a HRM was included with this PM5 unit?

Call the folks who supplied it.

My new D model with PM5 that I purchased direct from C2 last month did not come with a HRM. It is a seperate purchase. I chose the Garmin and it has worked perfectly.

Chris.

What model Garmin HRM do you use with the PM5?

Will the HRM supplied with the PM4 be compatible with the PM5?

I have the Garmin chest strap available from C2 for $50 for use with the PM4 and PM5.

I would guess that the one supplied with the PM4 would also work with the PM5 (both ANT technology).

@Romper,

PM5 doesn't come with a strap. In the past the PM4 came with a strap, and the PM3 did not.

I think C2 have taken the strap out to cut costs, and also to give consumers the choice of which model of strap to use. I use a Suunto Dual strap, and that works well, but there are many alternatives that work. I think my Suunto cost only about $50 or so.

I bought the PM5 upgrade to replace the PM4 I have now. It didn't come with a HRM nor did I get one when I purchased my Model D last year.
