Garmin introduces the HRM-Pro – a heart rate monitor with dual transmission and running dynamics

Premium heart rate strap offers athletes more training options

OLATHE, Kan./September 16, 2020 – Garmin® International Inc. today announced the HRM-Pro™, a heart rate monitor with dual transmission and running dynamics that provides athletes with even more ways to train.

The HRM-Pro transmits real-time heart rate data over ANT+® connectivity and BLUETOOTH® technology making it easy for athletes to receive accurate heart rate data on their Garmin device, in online training apps and on compatible fitness equipment at the gym. What’s more, it captures running dynamics, including ground contact time, cadence, stride length and more to help runners improve their form.

For swimmers, the HRM-Pro boasts 5 ATM water resistance and will automatically download heart rate data to a compatible smartwatch for analysis alongside other swimming metrics. Additionally, when an athlete takes a watch off to participate in activities like team sports or martial arts, the HRM-Pro will also store steps, calories and intensity minutes, then sync that data with the watch via Garmin Connect™.

Featuring a lightweight heart rate monitoring module and a comfortable strap, the HRM-Pro includes a user-replaceable battery that will last for up to one year. Available now, the HRM-Pro has a suggested retail price of $129.99.

Engineered on the inside for life on the outside, Garmin products have revolutionized life for runners, cyclists, swimmers and athletes of all levels and abilities. Committed to developing technology that helps people stay active and elevate performance, Garmin believes every day is an opportunity to innovate and a chance to beat yesterday. Other Garmin fitness brands include Tacx® and Firstbeat Analytics.
