Garmin’s new heart rate monitor can be used during various activities like running, indoor and outdoor cycling, strength training, HIIT and more. The HRM-Fit transmits all the data it tracks to compatible Garmin smartwatches and Edge cycling computers, compatible fitness equipment, the Tacx Training app and more.
“Designed with comfort in mind, the HRM-Fit is a purpose-built training tool specifically created for our female customers. Whether you’re going for a run or taking a HIIT class, it easily attaches to the bottom band of a sports bra and provides accurate heart rate and training data to help you know your body better by tracking the ways you move,” said Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Marketing
Basically, you don’t have to wear your smartwatch while doing your exercises. The HRM-Fit easily captures steps, calories burned, intensity minutes and all-day heart rate, and then transmit all the data to your smartwatch when it’s in range. It can even update all compatible Garmin devices via the Garmin Connect smartphone app.
According to Garmin, its new HRM-Fit heart rate monitor offers up to one year of battery life. Also, the wearable device will sell for $150.
