Garmin HRM Fit Heart Rate Monitor for Women

2024-06-14T20:00:00

It is so comfortable that I almost forget that I'm wearing it. I am so happy with this investment in my health and fitness. I am already recommending this to my friends. Thanks, Garmin!

I am a female athlete. I run, I CrossFit, and that strap was cool but was extremely uncomfortable. I don't even notice this one. It clips onto your bra and that's it

I really like that it clips onto the sports bra. Sometimes it hard to make sure it is on correctly but definitely easier than the one the wraps all the way around your back.

I wanted this for BJJ, but it didn't read my HR at all for it.

I have run in this for almost a month. I did experience chafing. I do like this better though than the traditional hrm straps. I put body glide on the areas that are prone to chafing in my chest area/under breast and I don't chafe during runs.

I love how comfortable this heart rate monitor is. I don't even feel it. It fits perfectly on all of my sports bras. I would highly recommend it if you are considering it.

I wanted to have more accurate HR than my watch. It's so easy to attach to my bra and I don't feel it

I've worn the other HR strap for a few years and essentially just got used to the literal scab on my chest from the chafe after every single run. I tried tightening, loosening, moving it to different spots, everything. Then Garmin does this incredible thing where they created a women's specific product and for the first time ever, NO MORE CHAFE! It's comfortable, easy to clean and put on. It sucks if you already have the other strap, but I'd say if you struggle with chafe like I did with that, it's worth it to purchase. And I love to support women specific products!

Bought this as sometimes I felt super constructed with the full strap. Hooks on to various sports bras no issues. I do have one sports bra that's a little looser and I tend to lose connection (especially outside as opposed to on the trainer). Accidentally washed it once and still works.

I am loving this HR monitor that connects seamlessly with my sports bra. It is comfortable to wear and seems to track data well with or without the use of my watch during an activity.

For me, I have 0 chafing and it works so well! It is very comfy and I am loving this compared to some of the others I have used!

I like that it clips easily to my sports bra, that makes it more comfortable that the regular strap. HOWEVER, you have to have the right sports bra or it doesn't get a good reading. I have various lengths sports bras, so this can be challenging. I did chafe with it on my 20 mile run, despite putting body glide on, right by the side clip. I am not sure if this was due to the design, or due to user error. I have had some workouts where I am not sure if it is as accurate as the other heart rate straps since it is not as tight. Time will tell.

The HRM-Fit is just okay. Sometimes it disconnects depending on the sports bra I'm wearing. I have to wet it every time before I put it on for it to connect. I'm disappointed but will make it work

I bought the HRM-Fit about 3 weeks ago and love it so far. It took me a couple of uses to figure out that I needed to connect the app. The on-line help was super helpful. The first couple of times I used it there was some chaffing ~ but I adjusted the clips so that the HRM lays better.. I no longer have any chaffing issues and find the fit comfortable. Overall easy to connect and I like the metrics and am still digging into them. This is my first HRM and so far am very pleased with my purchase.

This is the most comfortable heartrate strap I have ever owned. No more pinching or discomfort. I can even wear it all day with no problem. It's easy to attach to any bra and it stays in place comfortably. Highly recommend.

The HRM-Fit is good. The main benefit of this strap is that it's less restrictive feeling than a traditional chest strap.. Garmin advise to use a specific type of sport bra which yes, lower sport bra won't work with this. Cycling workouts, which should be relatively straightforward, as it lacks much in the way of bounce/movement the data is accurate but when I switch to run with the HRM-Fit data is not accurate, probably I need to use a more tight bra which wont make any sense. So, overall is a good option and good equipment but in my opinion I just don't see why spend more for the extra hassle with no actual additional benefit. I still have to use my current chest strap HR monitor for running and for cycling I can still keep the chest strap too

I had great expectations with this monitor but was sorely (!) disappointed in how much it chafed no matter what I did :(

It's more comfortable than the wraparound version and is easier to put on and take off. It connects quickly to my Garmin watch. The insert says that it may not work with front-closing sports bras, but I found that it does work with mine. It's a great product.

I hated wearing the regular heart rate monitors to the gym. They would move and be uncomfortable. This does not move at all because of the clips and that it only is half the size. Best heart rate I've gotten. Highly recommend for any woman struggling with a heart rate monitor.

Bought this HRM cause I wanted a more accuracy then what my previous monitor was providing. The HRM-Fit is the most comfortable monitor I've owned. It is easy to on, easy off. I forget I have it on a lot of times. It also has given me better insight into my performance. It work works really syncing Garmin Forerunner 965 watch. Thank you Garmin for delivering such a great product.

No more bulky straps that stretch and are uncomfortable. Very happy with this

This is the absolute best idea Garmin has had for women! I LOVE it! My regular Garmin Hr monitor was always falling down in the back even when I tightened it, and I felt like I was constantly adjusting it. But, this one is perfect! Snaps right on, stays in place securely, and it's not too tight or loose! Nice job Garmin!

I bought this after reading a post on Facebook about the "new HRM for women". The post had many negative comments, but I like to judge things for myself and I'm glad I purchased this. I have a few Garmin HRMs and am really enjoying this one the most. Pros: 1. It clips directly to my bra, so it doesn't slip around. 2. It doesn't chafe. 3. It syncs easily to not only my Garmin watch, but it synced no problem to my stationary bike during spin class at the gym, which was super convenient. 4. I'm a plus sized female who hates having tight things around my chest/torso, so not having a bra plus another strap around my sternum is super convenient. I can barely feel this HRM it feels like it's part of my bra, not something extra. Cons: 1. I sometimes wear zip-front sports bras, and this will not attach properly to that style of bra.

If you are running more than 4 or 5 miles at a time you will have chafing, tried several times and always end up with irritation and red marks. I haven't been willing to wear it any longer than that. It snaps on easily, not uncomfortable until you start moving, eventually it always finds a place to rub. I'm really disappointed that this didn't work well.

I love this new HRM for women. While I also still love the original one, that one would occasionally slip down if the bra i was wearing was a bit 'short' and became a belly strap :) I got this new women's strap and it stays super secure and I don't even know its there. I like it more than the original but still use the original for times when I wear more crop type bras. Highly recommend!

I bought this a few weeks ago and have been. Very impressed! I had a reduction a few years ago, and the regular HR strap would often irritate my scars. This new strap has been great! Easy to clip on and use. Very comfortable and information is accurate from previous HRM use. Easy to wipe clean a d I love that it works with almost any bra. I'll still keep my regular HRM for my longline bras but otherwise 10/10 recommend this product!

I was using my Garmin watch to broadcast my heart rate for bike rides and Zwift rides. I often forgot to "turn it on" before a ride. The HRM-fit connected automatically with Zwift and also with my Edge 1030 after I initially paired it. It's comfortable to wear, not difficult to put on, and it's really nice not to have to remember to activate it before a ride.

Glad I bought it. Fits well, does it's job well. Takes a little getting used to at first because compared to a full strap, it almost doesn't feel like it's there at all. That has not compromised how it works though. You DO want the bras you wear it on to fit snugly. With well fitted bras, it works perfectly for me, and has actually made it easier for me to exercise, as I don't have a strap binding on my ribs while working out. For the ladies, this is awesome!

I bought this when it hit the mainstream market. I've been a Garmin fan for over 10 years. I don't wear a HRM strap all the time, they can be very uncomfortable. This strap is awesome! I love that it just clips to the front of your bra. I've worn it on a few long runs over 14 miles, short interval runs on the treadmill, weight training and on the bike. It connects easy to my fenix7Xpro. I actually forget I have it on. No chafing issues, and no movement issues.
