Do all Heart Rate Monitors (HRMs) fit the Edge 800? Or do I have to get a specific HRM?

It has a built in heart monitor; you need a Garmin belt/transmitter, which comes with the more expensive package. Polar belts will not work.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that question. I can tell you that this watch doesn't come with a heart rate monitor. I bought 2 of them. I'm not sure where Amazon got that picture from showing the watch with a monitor cord.

No. It just logs the data and you can see it in graph form after you upload it. You need a HRM watch to see your heart rate as you exercise. Here's a link to a wide range of HRM's... http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_24?url=search-alias%3Dsporting&field-keywords;=omron%20heart%20rate%20monitor. You can get a good one for $35 (Omron). If you want GPS or more workout information then you pay more for a Garmin or Polar (or similar) unit.

I would call Cateye. They are not all compatable with each other. I found my older Hrm would not talk to my Strada digital wireless. I had to buy the newer one, but there are different ones. Cateye told me the # of the one I needed.

It depends on what devices you're going to be using. Garmin's cadence/speed sensors, and heart rate straps use ANT+, and seem to be the most common. If that's the case, this is what you'll need to pair your computer to the ANT+ devices, and allow you to use them with Trainer Road. It's also possible that the sensors you're going to be using are capable of Bluetooth Smart (BT 4.0). If that's the case, your computer may already be equipped to handle them. Wahoo Fitness makes cadence/speed, and heart rate sensors that are both ANT+ and Bluetooth 4.0 compatible. For more info, check out Trainer Road's "Getting Started" page.

Are you in luck! Just saw this question. Yes, the HR-10 works well with the RD410w. I had this combo for about a year before I moved up to the Garmin Edge 800. Sold it to a buddy and the system keeps going flawlessly. In some ways the CatEye system was better as it didn't have the connectivity issue the Garmin has with it's sensors. That said, I needed the ability to record/log my rides so the Garmin was the way to go, despite the issues. By with confidence, this heart monitor works well with the RD410w.

It works with my Garmin Edge 810. It should work with the 500 since it is designed to work with any ANT+ speed/cadence sensor.

There are two models one with HRM bundled while the other not. As for vertical oscillation, ground contact , recovery time, VO2 Max etc the watch will indicate proper ranges and evaluate your performance accordingly via garmin connect Web page.

Vivofit should work with it based on DC Rainmaker's review at http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/01/vivofit-activity-monitors.html --- Garmin HR strap uses ANT+ protocol to transmit, not Bluetooth. You should be good to use, but I would double check Vivo site before purchase.

I use mine with a Garmin Edge 800. I think it works better, that is to say it is more reliable than the Garmin brand heart rate strap. It has never failed. While the Garmin brand strap frequently had pairing issues. You must use this with other ANT+ devices. It is not meant to work with Bluetooth, but for your phone you may need an ANT+ adaptor AND Bluetooth enabled.

Hello Beth,For the model I have (Model: 8RS00) there is an additional heart rate strap which needs to be purchased/worn to monitor heart rate. I think there is another model which has it built into the watch, but I'm not sure which one. I've really enjoyed this watch and for my purposes, running, swimming and biking, it's awesome. Good upload onto my iPhone App and good reports for distances, speed, etc. Hope that helps!

TomTom says these heart rate monitors are compatible. http://us.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17406/~/which-sensors-are-compatible-with-tomtom-runner-%26amp%3B-multi-sport%3F

Yes, you most definitely can as long as you have the heart rate monitor synced to your watch. Unfortunately this watch doesn't come with a built-in HR monitor. But it can be purchased separately.

Only the Edge 1000 has a bundle option with the new sensors. If you will purchase them separately they will support this device.

No heart rate monitor is required. It will read your heart rate while on your wrist. It also has a readout for calories burned, steps taken & mileage.

What is computed by machines is typically wrong, as it over estimates what your fitness level, weight, etc are. The HRM takes into account your body type, fitness level and heart rate and calculates from there. Typically you can get the transmitter to work with both the watch and the machine, but I'd still rely on the watch for your cals burned.

The older model of the HRM will work with the 310XT, but it might not as nice in use as the new one. The old one (with the 205 / 305) feels harder and it needs some getting used to.But if you are saving some money, the old one is just fine.
