 Great for use with the 305, but doesn't do Polar January 24, 2008

I've found the Garmin HRM strap to be very reliable and easy to use for both running and cycling, much more so than my Polar WearLink strap which seems finicky by comparison. Considering the sensor section is made of a rather firm plastic, the strap is surprisingly comfortable; I have no discomfort even after 3 hours on the bike and a couple of hours running.
My only minor criticism is that Garmin's strap isn't compatible with Polar equipment, which means I don't get the handy HR readout directly from the cardio equipment at the gym; I have to either wear my 305 on my wrist or mount it on the treadmill etc., which necessitates having to keep glancing down every so often to make sure I'm in my desired zone, vs. having the HR readout almost in my eye line as it would be with a Polar strap talking to the equipment. Yes, I know could use the 305's audible alarms, but it can get annoying for people running next to me and I do try to be courteous :-)
If it talked to Polar equipment, I'd rate this product 5 stars.
Great Product January 8, 2008
This product works great. The heart rate monitor integrates with the GPS. It has improved my runs and workouts.
Flaky in wind September 6, 2007

Before getting the Garmin Edge 305, I owned a Polar HR. The strap on the Garmin is not so stiff and fits better in my mind. The difference is the attachment that is under-over whereas the Polar was the reverse.
My only grudge with the strap is that it increases HR betas in windy condition. It's not uncommon for my HR monitor to report well above my HR max. I've seen up to 250 bpm. Usually holding my jersey close to my body (or farther away) to prevent flapping brings my HR reading to normal. I ha the same issue with the Polar strap.
