So in 4 years I'm now buying my 3rd strap. The first one lasted 3 years!, The 2nd one only lasted 13 months, and completely failed, New battery didn't work and the plastic screw holes deteriorated, to where the screws would no longer hold the cover. I might add that is how the 1st strap failed, the screw hole plastic deteriorated and would no longer hold the screws.
Gets the job done and lasts a long time for my use!
Great! Put it together and connected with my Garmin 810 right outta the box. Comes with full battery, and has been working reliably since.
I've been using my Garmin watch for years to track heart rate but finally decided to try a dedicated monitor. It's way more accurate when compared to the watch and got used to the feeling after a couple rides. I don't even notice it anymore. After you pair it the first time it just works every time.
The Garmin HRM-Dual Heart Rate Monitor works well. Read the instruction for usage and care. Must be wet for it to work. Connects fast to my Edge 830 and Zwift.
No longer do I have to record my heart rate data on separately on a wahoo app and then subsequently download it to Strava or struggle to with computability issues when using Zwift. This is simple and easy- no problems so far with Zwift or Strava. The savings in battery costs alone makes this a better choice than my prior Wahoo tckr. So far I am completely satisfied with this product.
I bought this to use with TrainerRoad. I only have a dumb trainer, so triangulating between my heart rate, my cadence, and my "speed" is an important element of getting an accurate FTP and workout. It connected to my iPad without me even having to set it up or search for it. Glad to have it aboard!
As indicated below, I'm a cycling enthusiast. I use it with both my road and hybrid bikes. I've been using Garmin products now for over a decade, and I plan to continue using them as long as I continue riding. I especially like the Connect software that displays additional data regarding every ride on my cell phone. Some of the Connect information is redundant, but most of it is not and it's useful to track training and improvement.
I had older monitors, but they weren't reliable, maybe the technology, maybe their age. This monitor has worked flawlessly and make me feel confident in it's numbers.
Very accurate
This is my wife�s first chest strap HR monitor. It fits her well and gives her accurate legible HR data on her Garmin. She tried using her Apple Watch but it was too hard to read while riding, less accurate and couldn�t be displayed on her Garmin.
Ordered this for my partner. It paired quickly with his Edge 520, but then would read HR pretty inconsistently the first few rides even after putting a little water on the strap. After 5+ rides, it works fine now. Kind of bizarre considering that I never had an issue with my older Garmin HR monitor.
We have been a Garmin family for years. I use my Dual HRM with a Garmin Edge for cycling. I purchased the Dual HRM for spin classes and noticed that every so often my heart rate was dropping out. A check of the HRM revealed that all four (4) screws had cracks around the plastic and was being held in place by the snaps and the strap.
I had a Wahoo HRM that I used for a few years but was not accurate or consistent. I would constantly have readings that were way off the chart. The Garmin just flat out works. It's dependable and comfortable to wear. I get consistent, accurate readings and never have to question what's going on. Highly recommend.
My last heart rate monitor (same unit) lasted a year possibly two, but not 3.5. And like all HRM's I've ever used this model does not allow you to replace the battery when it's depleted because it never works, which means you need to toss the whole unit every year or two and start again.
The initial monitor has seen its best day. It was getting a little ragged and I could not adjust it to maintain good contact. So a new one was in order. Good price, quick shipping and it arrived very quickly. A good product
and a good company to do business with.
I've had three of these now (one was the older version). The last two duals that I have stopped working after a few days and was returned for one that worked for about a year. Both of them stopped working in the same way, that is the heart rate sent was stuck at 73 bpm. No adjustments of the straps helped. I was glad Garmin replaced the first one for free, but now I doubt they will replace the second one since I've had it for about a year.
I wear the HRM for cycling. I have worn it 4 time and it works great.
My main reason for purchasing the HRM is, because I had a heart attack and I need to keep an eye on my heart rate. So far, its been working great for me.
I enjoy seeing my HR and zones while on rides. Learning more about it all with every ride I complete.
Has worked great so far with no issues. Switched to this after my polar h10 started bugging out. Which was after my h7 stopped working. Been very happy with it, only annoying thing is tightening it and it hooks on the right side of your chest which feels awkward for myself being right handed.
