HRM Heart Rate Monitor Reviews

After following instructions and enabling all permissions, I was able to get it added as a sensor, but all I get is ‘n/a’ after wearing the watch and starting a ride for 10 minutes. Can you help out?

HRMHeartRateMonitor is very finicky. Once you turn back on the phone to my Garmin Edge 540 I don’t get weather until I turn off HRMHeartRateMonitor . You must turn off the phone on the Garmin to re-pair the iWatch to the Garmin after you shut down the Garmin. I want to just turn off my computer and have it all synced when I restart it. Basically you must go thru the whole re-pairing process to get the iWatch to work with the Garmin. Great idea, too cumbersome and time consuming. I’ll just use my Garmin Venu 3 since the heart rate just starts working after turning on my Garmin.

I tried to link to Garmin 840. After reading about how to do this I struggled. I was finally able to get the garmin to recognize HRMHeartRateMonitor , but all it did was search for the sensor(the Apple Watch) for ever. Never worked. How do I cancel my subscription so I don’t get charged for it again next year?

Wasted 5 bucks- It’s very glitchy- Have to remove device and add every single time.

The watch constantly stops sending data to my systems- and have to restart- Or it’s connected then after 20 minutes stops working. I want my money back

I could not get the Apple Watch to record my heart rate via the HRM App even after giving it access via the Apple Watch Health App. Without Apple Watch the iPhone and Elemnt bike computer would not connect either. The instructions and trouble shooting was weak and not helpful.
Very frustrating.

Please advise - I have a Garmin Edge 840. I have downloaded HRMHeartRateMonitor . I have subscribed to HRMHeartRateMonitor . I have synced the Garmin Edge with Garmin Connect. I’ve turned off the Garmin device and shut down Garmin Connect. I’ve turned on the HRM app. I’ve downloaded it to my Apple Watch. I have opened it on my Apple Watch. I have verified that the Apple Watch is synced to the HRM app on my phone. I have turned on the Garmin device. I have gone into the connect submenu on the Garmin Edge and disabled my phone. I’ve gone into the sensors menu and attempted to add a heart rate sensor. And the Garman is unable to find a connection. I have repeated this entire process on 4 occasions. Please advise.

Connects to my Garmin the first time you set it up but then won’t again till I delete and redo it again. Just couldn’t ever get it to work for a ride.

You can cast heart rate to your Garmin device, but you cannot concurrently pair your phone to your garmin device (which means no modifications via garmin connect, no alerts). If HR2VP does this, it’s a better app.

Terrible integration with Wahoo Elemt. Just buy a real HRM.

Won’t connect to Garmin edge explorer

Followed instruction on app and video to tey to connect to a brand new Wahoo Roam. Nothing worked

I fully realize there are challenges in making this product work. That said, if I stop during a ride and walk away from my bike for a bite to eat or a drink, I am guaranteed I’ll have to go through some sort of a dance to get my heart rate showing on my computer if I want my workout to continue, and it always makes me regret forgetting my heart rate strap.

I kinda want my money back. I’m canceling my subscription and will only re-up if I see a commitment to making this work better in the future. I am using a Wahoo ELEMNT which is not on the officially supported list. That will be changing soon and if that makes things better I will update this review.

The heart symbol on the connected devices screen was alternately brighter and dimmer, (a beating heart?) which I assume meant it was receiving a signal. However, no heart rate showed up on the data screens. I was disappointed that it didn’t work and I canceled the free trial.

I tried using HRMHeartRateMonitor with a Wahoo Elemnt Roam. It connected fine and worked well with the Roam. Communication is via Bluetooth. The issue I have is that after using HRMHeartRateMonitor and the bluetooth connection, the Elemnt Roam will not easily connect to the Wahoo Elemnt app. Simply turning the Elemnt Roam off and on doesn’t work. I had to forget the Elemnt Roam bluetooth connection and reboot my iPhone to get the Elemnt Roam to connect to the Elemnt app. Too much work to get the Elemnt app connection to the Elemnt Roam hardware re-established for me - that is why I believe HRMHeartRateMonitor is not quite ready for general use with a Wahoo Elemnt Roam. The bluetooth connection issue needs to be resolved first.

Synced with Wahoo ELEMNT Roam perfectly.

Update: it worked exactly once. Since then, the Roam forgets and re-pairs with HRMHeartRateMonitor just fine, but never displays the heart rate no matter how many times I restart the Roam, the phone, HRMHeartRateMonitor , the watch, repeat ad nauseum… I changed my rating from 5 to 3 not 1 because I suspect that the problem is the Roam not liking the Bluetooth signal from HRMHeartRateMonitor .

I read some reviews that did not work for some people, but decided to give it a try.

By following the instructions to setup on the watch, Including enabling HRMHeartRateMonitor on the watch, naturally, I was able to get it working with my Garmin 840 edge. Make sure you disconnect the Garmin connected features on the bike computer, before trying to add the HRM app sensor to the Garmin.

When finished with a workout, I did find that I had to disconnect the HRM app on bike computer, and then manually reconnect the bike computer to the Garmin connect app before my workout would sync.

This works well, when you forget your heart rate strap on a trip. It’s only $5. I don’t know about other Garmin bike, computers, but it worked on my Garmin 840.

If you have an Apple Watch and a compatible device this solution will will save you the time, trouble, and money of buying an additional heart rate monitor to use with your compatible bicycle computer (or other approved device). I use it with a Garmin Edge Explore 2 and it seamlessly syncs heart rate from Apple Watch into the Garmin data field eliminating the need to purchase a separate 70$+ heart rate monitor, and the cumbersome process of applying it.
Excellent customer support experience.

HRMHeartRateMonitor isn’t too expensive and works well for syncing heart rate to my Garmin.

Glad someone made this. I have the Garmin Edge 130 and I followed his setup video and it works seamlessly. Really glad I don’t have to wear an additional HR monitor to get this data into Garmin.

HRMHeartRateMonitor does exactly what it says it does. I can now use my Apple Watch with my cycling computer to monitor and display my heart rate while riding.

The developer is also very quick to respond to emails and is very helpful!
