If I purchase the 405 do I get the HR strap with it or do I need to order that also?

I bought my first one about 5 years ago (replaced twice due to use) and purchased the HR strap seperate.

Amazon sells it with or without the strap and it's obviously less expensive without the strap. Just read the bill-of-materials carefully on the page that you are on to determine whether or not the model that you're looking at includes the strap. The model with the strap is: " Garmin Forerunner 610 Touchscreen GPS Watch With Heart Rate Monitor by Garmin " and the model without it is " Garmin Forerunner 610 Touchscreen GPS Watch by Garmin ". The price difference is about $30.

The heart rate monitor is optional. You can purchase the wrist unit without the heart rate monitor, or both. If you purchase the wrist unit without, you can buy the chest strap heart rate monitor later.

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.

It says in the description of the Garmin 405CX I received; "Forerunner 405CX comes with a flexible, wireless heart rate monitor to help you make the most out of your training". I don't use this but it there.

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.

Hi, it depends on what kind of sports will you practice. Good to have the GPS for running (or foot pod), and speed or cadence sensor for bike if you are a thriatlete.But just for heart rate monitoring nothing else is needed. Sensor and strap are included in the package, even in basic version of the watch.

Sherri, that is the exact question you need to have answered before you order. I am a schmuck that didn't get the answere first and lost my money to HRM. Go to their site and contact customer service. Get your answer in email form so you have a paper trail if it is the wrong cuff. Good luck

It includes the strap for reading the heart beats and the watch shows your heart rate. So, it's both. I'm very pleased with the one I have!

I have an older model and everything was included. The HR sensor is belt to wear.

The one I ordered on here did not come with the strap. If you order it direct from Life Saver it will come with the strap.

There are two different versions. One with just the 220 (Costs around $250) and one bundle with the chest strap and transmitter thing included. (Costs around $300). This is the same as the "HRM3" or "premium chest strap" from Garmin.

It is literally just the strap part. Does not have the HRM part, but it does have the plastic do-hickeys that you use to attach it to the HRM.

Yes you need the chest belt, as I understand it it is the belt the one that monitors your heart rate and the watch shows it. Hope it helps!

There is a chest strap and a wristwatch. The wristwatch is really nice, but it does NOT compute calories properly, so if that is a concern, please don't buy this!! I have been using the Polar FT4 for a long time now and have been happy. I did have to call the company at one point because it wasn't performing at it's best for a while, but they gave me some excellent care tips! Should you decide to go with the Polar HRM, please feel free to contact me again and I'll gladly share my tips :-) Best of luck!!

There are two versions of the Garmin edge 810 (one confess with a heart rate monitor/strap, the other doesn't). If you buy just the GPS unit, you can always by the heart rate monitor separately afterwards.
