I purchased Garmin Forerunner 310XT Waterproof Running GPS. I need to buy a Heart rate monitor that is compatible. Tell me wich please.

I went to HeartRateMonitor.com and purchased one from their listing of compatible monitors. I purchased a Gramin HRM2-SS. It works very well.

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.

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.

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!

The one I got was the Garmin Premium Heart Rate Monitor (Soft Strap) ordered on Amazon. It works perfectly.

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

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.

I would not use the Garmin's monitor feature. I use Polar's "F" series they are accurate and dependable. I have been using thgem since late 1999 and have founbd them to be the best on the market.

Yes. This was important to me too when i was doing my research. It took some digging, but I found out that the poolmate hr is the only watch that counts your laps and recorders heart rate under water. Something about the frequency the poolmate uses for heart rate works under water while other training watches do not. The good news is that the heart rate monitor also works out of the water - when you run or train on your bike. It's a great feature that I use regularly.

You have to get the external strap (straps next to your heart). I've found watches that pair with this rather than having an internal heart monitor are more accurate in terms of heart rate, though. (Been using my Garmin 610 for about a year. Still have no complaints at all.)

any polar compatible or analog heart rate strap should work. Digital or coded straps will not work. I currently have the sigma strap, and also a dual coded (analog and digital) suunto strap. I have also used a polar in the past

This is compatible with all devices that support Ant+ or Bluetooth 4.0.So all garmin watches will work. I believe Suunto will work and I am not too familiar with polar watches. Here is a very in depth review of the HR monitor and all of it features. http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/07/viiiiva-bluetooth-bridge.html

Thanks N. Search YouTube for "Wonderland Garmin 405" that is what really peaked my interest.Ok, I was able to find the watch at City Sports. I love it and it finds satellites in about 30 seconds or so.I connected it via Garmin Connect fairly easily (using my Dell D620 Laptop and Windows XP), but I can't find how I can export the GPX files anywhere?

I have a Timex Ironman (Trashman would be a better moniker for this $90 disappointment!) that has NEVER given me reliable performance and has basically just quit after 17 months of unreliable service. I'm reading enough negative reviews on the Polar F11, which had otherwise sounded promising, to dismiss risking money on that product as well! While I have little or no use for GPS, the Garmin 305 is starting to sound to me like the accurate, reliable heart rate monitor I'm looking for based on further reading!

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

It depends. If you want a running oriented GPS watch, the Forerunner 220 is better. On the contrary, if you want it for hiking or mountaineering, the Fenix is the way to go.

I have both the BT 4.0 "smart" speed/cadence and heart rate monitors, they work simultaneously. It's up to the app to pair them. Runkeeper MTB just had to "unpair all" and re-discover to sync them the first time; Endomondo recognized both inmediately.

Dear Michael: Thank you for your question. I personally have only experience with the heart rate monitor that came with the TomTom watch. I suggest you connect with www.tomtom.com and ask them directly. Technical support by TomTom is outstanding.

I use this heart monitor but not with the app suggested. It will work with multiple apps so I'm sure there is probably one that will alert you to a specific heart rate. I use mapmyfitness.

Hi, you can check your device compatibility here: http://www.mioglobal.com/apps/default.htm?If the device is compatible, then you need to contact the app developer to see if they support BTLE heart rate monitors (like Wahoo, Polar or MIO) with their app. Hope that helps!

Yes. I have used it with older garmin heart rate monitors and it works fine. When you add an accessory there is a menu choice to scan for the new accessory and it will be added at that time.

No heart monitor I believe it's compatible with all phone no sureNot water proof I wouldn't try it on mines it also doesn't say water resistant

Agree with Sean. You would only be able to use the heart rate monitor functions of this watch. Polar sells a version of this watch with GPS accessory instead of foot pod but I have not heard good things about it. Polar's newer GPS devices are much more useful but not compatible with this watch. Only buy the foot pod if you plan on running only.

Sorry for my delay in responding, but the operation of the Sport Tracker Heart Rate Monitor is great. The sync with the Android system is automatic. I have a Samsung S3 and a Nokia N8 (Symbian). I have used frequently in both systems without issue.
