Is this HRM an ant+ model? Will it work with Garmin vivofit?

Ant+ model...?!!! It is just a simple heart rate monitor. I have no idea what a Vivofit is, what it does, or would it work with this heart rate monitor. Maybe the manufacturer can shed some light on the subject. Happy Trails.

I do not know, but go to the Xterra Fitness web site and see if it is "ANT+" compatible. If the answer is yes, then it is.

While the 610 supports ANT+, the Tempe Sensor is not.It appears these are the supported ANT Sensors for the 610- USB ANT Stick™- Speed/Cadence Bike Sensor- Heart Rate Monitor- Soft Strap Premium Heart Rate Monitor- Foot Pod

I'm guessing the answer is yes, even though I've never been to a gym with ANT+ equipment. Only because I've got a Garmin GPS watch which is ANT+ for its wireless protocol and it works just fine.

The HRM run is built into the HeartRate monitor. You need to have the package that includes both a heart rate monitor and the watch. When you download to Garmin connect you can see the oscillation on the chart with your range showing normal. You can see where On garmin connect your steps change.It's not super scientific but is interesting to see.Also check out the new fenix 2 before you buy the 620. It looks very impressive and the same price.

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.

Yes there is an app...called Garmin connect...the vivofit does not automatically send stats to your phone ...connect by Bluetooth and sync...

Yes, it does sync now. I was skeptical before buying one, because I couldn't find anyone that said it would sync. However, my vivofit came in 2 days ago and it did in fact sync. From the Garmin Connect app, your can add food (which opens your linked MFP app). It also automatically syncs you HRM activity from Garmin Connect to MFP. Appears seamless both ways once you link accounts

I don't know specifically , but it should would for any ant + compatible devices. I have used it successfully with Garmin devices and an ant+ program for live recording from my bicycle trainer.

I bought a compatible Ant+ cadence sensor that works fine. It doesn't have to be the same brand. Ant+ is a standard.

Hi Poly, I am still getting it up and running but pretty certain that it in itself only measures HR. But why it does that is handy for us who love using our smart phones for strava etc is it will translate all the ANT+ from my garmin tools (Cadence/speed sensor, Power Metre, foot pod) into a bluetooth 4.0 signal for your smart phone to read. Some of these are more or less effective on different Apps, Viii own app will receive and show all this information but for instance Strava won't show reading from the power meter. As i said its still new to me but overall Im happy with it. I looked at DCRainmakers review of the product before buying it and he goes very in depth if you want more info.

I contacted Timex via chat....they told me that it DOES have ANT+. Not sure what to believe.

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.

The strap is a sensor--it has everything to detect your heart rate--but you of course have to buy the display unit. It'll work with a Garmin or other ANT device.

the Garmin Vivofit comes with its own app. I have not tried to sync it with the Fitbit app.

I currently use a Polar H7 Bluetooth heart rate monitor when I cycle and seem to get very accurate readings on both. And that's running both the Wahoo Fitness app and a Digifit app at the same time. I'm not sure if there are any bad effects when using this with a ANT+ monitor though, as I've never tried an ANT+ hr monitor.

I've used this with both the Bontrager Node and the Sigma Rox10. No problems with either unit. As long as the Garmin is Ant+ compatible, it should work fine.
