Recognisable by the 305 heart rate strap? I see they advertise it without the heart rate strap, I have the 305 so is it compatible with the strap, can I use the strap on the 405?

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?

I'm fairly confident there is only one version of the 405. You use it with a HR monitor or without. My 305 strap was 100% compatible.

Yes! I own the 305 with HR monitor strap, and bought the 405 without the strap. The 405 immediately recognized my existing 305 HR strap monitor with no special actions.

I own the T5K672 and it is Analog and worked fine with my chest strap. Make sure that you match analog product with analog reader (as opposed to digital). I also called timex customer service (I googled it), to make sure I had the correct product.

It can display heart rate*, which is information used in fitness testing. But, it wasn't designed for fitness testing. I suggest you contact a fitness testing specialist for more information. *Display of heart rate requires the optional heart rate monitor chest strap.Garmin has a disclaimer on their website: http://www.garmin.com/en-US/legal/atdisclaimer

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!

Hi - did you ever get an answer to this? I have an older Precor 5.21 si Eclliptical as well and am not sure what heart rate monitor would be compatible.

Garmin will tell you need the Garmin Premium Heart Rate Monitor (Soft Strap, ANT+ compatible). I am using the Garmin Heart-Rate Monitor (Regular Strap) I had from my deceased Forerunner 205 and it works fine. Some people complain the old monitor can hurt the side of the chest over the ribcage, so you might choose the new one. It seems to be a lot lighter too. The old one tends to slip when it is not tightly adjusted. Hope this helps.

You would need a different model. The FR10 does not measure heart rate. I enjoy my Garmin FR410, which comes with or without a heart rate monitor. Some people don't like the touch bezel of the 410, but I don't have a problem with it. The Garmin 610 is a step up from the 410. It has an way to navigate touch screen, but the price is $399. I've researched these a lot and would stick with Garmin. Regardless of which Garmin you have, all of these sync with Garmin Connect. The amount of information given is impressive. After a run, all data can easily be synced to Garmin Connect. You can view a map of your workout, mile splits, and weather conditions. I don't even keep a running log anymore because I look on the calendar function Garmin has. You can also look at data for custom dates or pick a given time frame such as last week, last month, last year. If you have a Costco membership they sell the 410 near the jewelry, and if you don't like it jut return it, no questions asked! I'd be happy to answer any other questions. Let me know what you decide on!

Hi, regarding the difference I'm not sure but maybe in the main page of polar you can find the differences, sometimes it's just accessories compatibility. http://www.polar.com/uk-en. and for your second question, you need to wear the chest strap because it has the computer that sends the heart rate info to your watch, otherwise the watch wouldn't be able to retrieve the data.

I am not familiar with your HRM, so I can not answer about the strap you need. In general terms, some HRM protect themselves from picking up the signal from someone else's HRM by encoding the signal so it only responds to its own strap. These monitors have a way to adjust to the code of a new strap. If you have a monitor that does not have code protection, it will often not respond to a HRM that is coded, so you need an uncoded one.

Needs a strap, but I'm using older garmin heart rate strap- it's compatible.

I use my heart rate monitor from my 305 I had back from 2008. So in your case i dont see why it wouldn't.

Garmin now has multiple styles of Heart Rate Monitors. The standard Heart Rate Monitor (Hard Strap) and the Premium Heart Rate Monitor (Soft Strap) are not designed to provide heart rate data in the water. This limitation is related to the inability to transmit the heart rate data through the water. When considering using a Heart Rate Monitor in water: Do not wear a standard Heart Rate Monitor while swimming as it is not designed for this use and will likely damage the strap. While heart rate cannot be transmitted though water, the Premium Heart Rate Monitor is designed to withstand 30 meters of water pressure. Therefore, the monitor can be used in conjunction with devices with similar water resistant ratings. After exiting the water, the Garmin GPS will begin to record heart rate data.

The chest strap is sold separately. I had one from my old Garmin 305 that works great.

I don't know if they sell just the strap but don't believe there is any real special "link" between the strap and the specific watch. I replaced my watch with a different Pyle model and the strap works with the new watch. It also works with my lifecycle bike which picks up my heart rate from the strap.

No, as an employee of nike, I have researched this and the heart rate monitor is only comparable with the nike wear links+ GPS watch. The watch is defently worth it as I have been useing mine now for 3 months with no problems.

I previously owned a Forerunner 305, which I lost at the bottom of a river last Fall. But the chest strap from that unit works with the 310xt just fine -- both use the ANT communications protocol, and you just need to pair the chest strap with your watch. For long events I found this strap uncomfortable, with the plastic strap digging into the sides of my chest. So I finally upgraded to the new stretchy fabric chest strap. This one works great, and is much more comfortable. Unlike the plastic strap you can't just wipe it off after a workout or race. You need to air dry it, and periodically hand wash it as the fabric picks up body oils and odors. I'd buy one again.
