Dual Transmission

The HRM-Pro Plus broadcasts via Bluetooth and ANT+ simultaneously, so you can connect to your Garmin watch and a phone app at the same time. This enables both workout tracking and detailed HRV analysis.

Running Dynamics

Beyond heart rate, the HRM-Pro Plus captures running dynamics: cadence, ground contact time, vertical oscillation, and more. This data feeds into Garmin's training analysis when paired with a compatible watch.
