Why under the Frequently Bought Together is there the promotion $207 for both, H M strap and the GPS watch?

Unfortunately you need to buy the strap separately. Be sure to get a Cateye specific one, as different vendors use different frequencies.

The heart rate monitor is optional. You can purchase the wrist unit without the heart rate monitor, or both. If you purchase the wrist unit without, you can buy the chest strap heart rate monitor later.

Yes it does, but in my case it just was not accurate for me. Maybe my wrist are too thin or something? I have a second one but it's not strapless, however my strapped monitor is very accurate.Hope that helps.

The strap I bought came with the watch. I purchased it heartratemonitorsusa. Just so you know the heart rate strap is useless under water. Hope this is helpful!

Amazon sells it with or without the strap and it's obviously less expensive without the strap. Just read the bill-of-materials carefully on the page that you are on to determine whether or not the model that you're looking at includes the strap. The model with the strap is: " Garmin Forerunner 610 Touchscreen GPS Watch With Heart Rate Monitor by Garmin " and the model without it is " Garmin Forerunner 610 Touchscreen GPS Watch by Garmin ". The price difference is about $30.

does this watch come with a chest strapped heart monitor or is it integrated in the watch?

No, this is just for the strap. If you purchased with activity monitor that will tell the time. I found it does take a little getting used to.

No, the chest strap and transmitter are included. With this model you also get the GPS sensor and an arm band for it.

No strap included, although it was displayed in the picture (at least at the time I made my purchase). Wasn't worth the shipping cost and effort to return.

Hi, it depends on what kind of sports will you practice. Good to have the GPS for running (or foot pod), and speed or cadence sensor for bike if you are a thriatlete.But just for heart rate monitoring nothing else is needed. Sensor and strap are included in the package, even in basic version of the watch.

No, the chest strap has an attached monitor that detects your heart beat/rate.

Yes a chest strap is included. Be sure to wet the sensor pads with water and to make it contact better I put some hair gel on also.

Interesting! I am looking at buying the 405 without the strap, as I still have the one from my now stolen 305. The Garmin support website says that some versions of the 405 are compatible with the HR monitor. How can you tell if the one you are buying is compatible? Or is it just a trick to make you buy the more expensive version?

Yes it does include a chest strap, monitor unit and watch; however, I was only able to connect the watch to the monitor unit fewer than a dozen times. I sent the watch back in favor of a more reliable one.
