I purchased this so I could have higher accuracy (and more responsive) heart rate readings than my watch gives me, and so that I could specifically run a lactate threshold test to better set up my heart rate zones. I pair this with a garmin forerunner 965 and so far it has worked seamlessly.
Pretty simple unboxing, but not a lot of information is given. It does not just pair automatically, but has to be added to the watch. Its relatively simple, but there is a step required to do it. Then when worn and starting an activity, the watch automatically recognizes it and uses data from the strap over its own sensors.
As far as I can tell, the heart rate readings I am getting from it are accurate and responsive, though in my case, I am not sure its a massive improvement over the optical heart rate sensor I am already using. Though I am sure its still an improvement.
Running the lactate threshold test was handled by my watch, but it required an external heart monitor and again as far as I can tell it works well.
The watch reports my heart rate changes quickly when I change pace and while I have yet to do any sprint intervals with it yet, I imagine it will fare much better than the watch, which could often miss the entire interval before my heart rate would respond on the watch.

Easy Setup
Worked great right out of the box! Stopped at the Amazon locker on my way to the gym and picked it up. Pulled it out of the box and it connected to my watch then my phone. No issues. Went to the gym connected the Wahoo app and it all worked. Imagine that.Thanks Garmin for another great product!

With regard to complaints that strap is too short, I am 5'7 wear size M, the steap is adjusted to be 33" length and it fitd me comfortably, There about 9-10 inches left for extension. So it may be too tight for very big people.
I am somewhar disappointed that the strap is integrated with the sensor, so if the strap is too worn out / loses elasticity/ doedn't fit well it can't be changed, ( unlike Polar straps which can be purchased separately in at least two sizes and easily reattached to the Pole sensors
. I think it's a major design flow.
Another complain was that the battery change is difficult and the sensor doesn't work good after it. It has yet to be seen as I've been using it less than a month.
I think measurments are quite good and it measures few parameters, not only heart rate. I didn' perform the check to comlare it with couple of other sensors I have, one of them Scosche optical Rythm.

So far quite good, let's see what will happen after battery change

I've been using it for 3 weeks including a strenious 15 miles hike. One problem reported in a number of review was that the plastic hook has sharp edges which dig into the skin. May be this person got a defective one? In mine both hook and buckle which regulates the length are very smooth(photo of the hook attached), the flap protects well and I didn't experienced any discomfort even after wearing it continously for a number of hours.Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2023

So why do we bother? Simple, no optical wrist-based heart rate monitor comes close to the consistent monitoring of a chest one. This is especially evident when doing short intervals and reps.
The HRM-Pro Plus is a step up from Garmin’s previous straps. I’ve worn most of them over the decades, and this strap is the most comfortable yet. The battery replacement is much easier than in previous HRMs, requiring a tiny screwdriver and a finicky O-Ring to ensure waterproofing. The Pro clicks open easily and locks firmly. The standard 2032 battery lasts me about nine months.
The Pro lets you run “naked,” as it can store data when you run without your watch and automatically send it to your device. This is useful if you do contact sports and want to leave your watch out of danger. I try to do at least one run a week without my watch to force myself to listen to my body for feedback rather than relief on my watch. Try it-it’s a great feeling.
While many companies are dropping support for ANT+, the HRM Pro has ANT+ and Bluetooth. I still have some cycling computers that use ANT+, so I still need ANT+.
The HRM-Pro also captures running dynamics. While I have running pals who swear by RD as a metric, I am only interested in cadence, which the strap captures and sends to Garmin Connect. One use of these metrics is running inside when you don’t have a GPS signal.
Like previous straps, this one is waterproof and can be worn swimming. I prefer to use my HRM-Swim, as the wider strap works better in the water.
If you are a woman, check out Garmin’s new HRM-FIT monitor, which simplifies wearing a sports bra with a strap-based monitor. I can’t speak from experience, but it is a great idea.
I’ve tried running using the power metric but returned to heart rate-based training. It is easier to correlate my feelings with the heart rate numbers, and heart rate metrics are consistent across all platforms. Every company has its algorithms to define and measure power, and this is like comparing apples and oranges. Changing shoes and how you position a power meter can skew measurements, but a heartbeat is a heartbeat is a heartbeat. Power meters were a game changer for cyclists but were less useful for runners.
Try this versatile strap if you’ve not tried training by heart rate. Make sure it fits correctly, and off you go.
