Description
The Garmin HRM 600 is Garmin's most capable chest strap, built for serious runners, triathletes and multi-sport athletes. Its ECG sensor delivers gold-standard heart rate and HRV accuracy, while a full suite of running dynamics, including the new step speed loss metric, shows exactly where your form breaks down under fatigue when paired with a compatible Garmin watch. The headline feature is standalone recording: start an activity from the Garmin Connect™ app and the HRM 600 captures your entire workout, including pace, distance and heart rate, with no watch on your wrist. A rechargeable battery lasts up to two months per charge, the 5 ATM design caches heart rate during swims, and the soft strap is machine washable and available in two sizes.
