Which of the Polar, Garmin, or Suunto watches is this compatible with?

If it has Ant+ it should work. I use mine with a Suunto Ambit via Ant+ and iPhone apps via bluetooth simultaneously.

I have a Suunto T6D but I did not check compatibility since I have a Suunto HR strap that came with the watch. I tried to pair it with my iPhone 4 (regular, not S) and it would not work. When I contacted the company, they confirmed that it would not work with that phone. It was actually listed in the description but not very apparent in the description.

Any watch that supports Ant+ or Bluetooth Smart (BTLE) will work with the Viiiiva.

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

I'm using it with a Suunto Ambit 2S. If the watch is Ant+ capable then it should work with the Viiiiva.

For sure with the 910XT and 705. I use those routinely. I'm sure it's compatible with all Garmin as it's ANT+. Look over at DC Rainmakers review.

I use this with Suunto ambit 2 via ANT and Samsung galaxy s4 via Bluetooth at the same time. No problem

I know it is compatible with the Garmin 110 Forerunner I have. I use it all the time and it is flawless.

Sorry, John, but I don't know. Even though well beyond their policy, I returned the Suunto, thanks to a very customer-centric Amazon rep. My guess is that the battery life is as good as the watch itself, which I consider superb, even though it didn't quite work for me.

Needs a strap, but I'm using older garmin heart rate strap- it's compatible.

You use the Garmin Connect app and you just pull that up and hold down a button on the band for a couple of seconds and it will sync.

no idea; however as I understand it it is supposed to work with Polar watches, which is how I use mine.

What you should consider first, is what sport do you do? If you are into triathlon this is an awesome watch, if you are going to compare with other garmin watches you should consider the 910xt instead the 620. Also the Fenix 2 can log Drills in the pool that neither the suunto or the 910xt can, but if you are not into swimming, it's useless for you. I have been using my Fenix 2, since march and I can't complain about anything, also garmin have been making a lot of firmware updates (some changes that users ask).

The heart rate monitor will not work with Polar devices, unless they are ANT+ compatible. If gym equipment can detect an ANT+ signal, it may work with some equipment. For gym equipment you would primarily want the T5K672 analog heart rate monitor. The T5K671 will work with any GPS watch/device that uses an ANT+ signal, including iPhones with an ANT+ adapter.

Vivofit should work with it based on DC Rainmaker's review at http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/01/vivofit-activity-monitors.html --- Garmin HR strap uses ANT+ protocol to transmit, not Bluetooth. You should be good to use, but I would double check Vivo site before purchase.

Because it works perfectly with Polar products and Windows 7. I bought one, and it functions seamlessly. The Polar product is more expensive, and is reported to have problems with Windows 7 compatibility. I highly recommend this product for use with Polar products, and I'm really happy with how well it works with my Polar S610i watch.

The compass works great. I do not use the barometer so I am not much help there. I have multiple Suunto watches and this is my most favorite of them all! The alumiuium in my opinion is definitely worth it. It's touff enough to hit the trail yet nice enough to wear to work.

It has a built in heart monitor; you need a Garmin belt/transmitter, which comes with the more expensive package. Polar belts will not work.

Yes, it will work with any Suunto that utilizes a chest strap to measure heart rate.

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.

Except a compass, not really. Those watches have a larger display(case) and are a bit tougher. The sensors are s the ame as far as i know. The price difference makes this a no brainer unless you rely need a watch with a compass.

Yes they are compatible. You just have to make sure the Garmin is in a charging bracket.
