Can I get the non-bundle option and pair it with my current HR monitor (from my Garmin 405 - not the premium one) ?

There is a way to pair this with other HR monitors. Garmin has posted the manuals on its website, so you can check out the details there. I would suggest you call Garmin and verify that your specific model will work with this, as that is not clear from the website. Their tech support is great. I had to call as the HR monitor that came with this was not paired with the watch, and they answered my call quickly and walked me thru the process of getting the monitor connected. I think you might like the old HR monitor better than the one that comes with this. This one requires you to wet the sensors in three places before use, not always convenient. The downside is that you can't wash the 405 one easily. The electronics of this one are housed in a case that snaps into the strap, so you can machine wash the strap. Good luck!

S Health (still!) only supports the Samsung branded HRM strap. This isn't due to any compatibility issues at all, it's a deliberate choice made by Samsung.

I hope someone replies to this post cuz I have the same question. I'm eyeing the 205 and 305 too. I'm not a marathoner or bike enthusiast, just a runner who might like the HR function added to my data points. I wonder how many use the HR monitor with the 305 consistently or does it end up in a drawer after a while.

Hi Laurie-I have a Garmin 405cx watch and it works great. You pair it in the same manner as you would pair a foot pod or heart rate monitor.

Yes if you buy the blue hr monitor you can monitor hr and calories burned ... You can also use almost any fitness app you have or want witch is a awesome plus . I just use the wahoo app it ended up being my fav app anyway ... I love this hr monitor I use it at the gym and when I road and mountain bike it is the greatest fitness tool I have ever bought . If you cycle the blue tooth cadence sensor is great too .

Since the Wahoo Rflkt is only "reading" what your iPhone is seeing....then any heart rate monitor that is registered on your phone (via bluetooth) should be "transmitted" from your phone to the RFLKT. Neither my garmin HR or cadence monitor shows up on my phone....I had to get new ones and I got the Wahoo devices. So...if you have a heart rate monitor that monitors your heart through you phone...then I think you will be in business. If not....you may have a problem.

Talk to Tech Support at Garmin and do some research yourself before you invest

Yes. You can go to the Garmin site and download for approx. $69, or have a lifetime membership for $100, which seems the best way to go.

No blue-ray and no Bluetooth. TGT support Ant+, if Runtastic HR strap support Ant+, then should TGT work with Runtastic.

Yes. However, the HRM from Garmin is more expensive than buying as a package. But you are not limited to just a Garmin HRM. Just make sure it is an ANT+ compatible unit and you'll be fine.

Seems to me it's all a package, not a menu option that you can eliminate and thereby reduce the price. That said, I have never installed the software as I am on an Apple platform and the software was PC based. I have the scale communicating wirelessly to my Garmin 910xt as well as the base unit which is an optional accessory. Hope that helps!

Yes, you can connect a Garmin HRM ANT+ HRM... Just understand it does not connect to this device, your HRM actually connects to the IPhone, which then communicates with this device. This is where the problems occur. If you wear a cycling jersey with the pocket in the back... you may, as many have, experience erratic connection between phone and RFLKT+ device... additional problems have been reported as a result of flapping jersey and wetness from sweat attenuating the signal. With the IPhone in back pock, not having line of sight with this device, the signal from the phone must bounce off things to get to the RFLKT+... or so it's reported in many reviews and user experiences. I now use the Wahoo Blue (with BT) HRM, Wahoo blue S/C BT speed/cadence sensor and Wahoo case for my IPhone and mount it right on my handlebar with Wahoo mount... this has resulted in error free data reporting of my HR, speed and cadence. Additionally, with the IPhone I have a bigger dashboard to view a whole lot more data while riding... I do not recommend the RFLKT+ as a long time cyclist with experience using multiple Timex, Garmin, Cateye sensors... the aforementioned has served me best while the RFLKT+ was a bust. Remember, the RFLKT+ isn't getting a signal from your HRM or speed/cadence sensor, rather the IPhone is forwarding the data to the RFLKT+... so why not just go with a far less expensive handlebar mount and case for IPhone.

There are two versions of the Garmin edge 810 (one confess with a heart rate monitor/strap, the other doesn't). If you buy just the GPS unit, you can always by the heart rate monitor separately afterwards.

I am afraid than only iphone is supported. You can plan a trace in your mobile and send to garmin via bluetooth or oposite direction. I also have android and I have not connected my garmin yet. I usually pre-plan a trace in Garmin Basecamp on my PC which is more comfortable with begger screen. But I agree that Fenix should be able at least send data to GarminConnect or Strava also on android mobiles othervise bluetooth is useless. But the watches definetelly payd off if you wear them during your adventures.

It says in the description of the Garmin 405CX I received; "Forerunner 405CX comes with a flexible, wireless heart rate monitor to help you make the most out of your training". I don't use this but it there.

I suppose you can pair a foot pod to the 620 but I'd say it's unnecessary. The new 620 and its hr monitor are capable of calculating steps, cadence, speed, average ground contact and average stride lenght accurately without the need of a foot pod. Pretty cool!!!
