Garmin has unveiled HRM-Fit, its newest heart rate monitor created specifically for women. Featuring a clip-on design, it attaches to medium- and high-support sports bras to maximise comfort while capturing real-time heart rate and training data.
HRM-Fit can be used during activities such as running, indoor and outdoor cycling, strength training, HIIT and more.
“Designed with comfort in mind, the HRM-Fit is a purpose-built training tool specifically created for our female customers,” said Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Marketing.
“Whether you’re going for a run or taking a HIIT class, it easily attaches to the bottom band of a sports bra and provides accurate heart rate and training data to help you know your body better by tracking the ways you move.”
Featuring up to one year of battery life, HRM-Fit is available now with a suggested retail price of £139.99. It is on display during CES 2024 at the Garmin booth, #3519 in the LVCC West Hall.
- HRM-Fit attaches to medium- and high-support sports bras – including those from adidas, Athleta, NOBULL, Under Armour and more – to minimise movement and enhance comfort.
- Connectivity: Transmits real-time heart rate and performance data to compatible Garmin smartwatches and Edge cycling computers, compatible fitness equipment, the Tacx Training app and more.
- Training options: Captures heart rate data for a variety of activities, including running, indoor and outdoor cycling, strength training, HIIT, fitness classes and more. Plus, if an athlete takes off their compatible smartwatch and leaves it out of range, HRM-Fit will store the workout data, then send it to the watch once the monitor is back in range of the watch.
- Indoor running: Pace and distance can be viewed on a compatible Garmin smartwatch when doing an indoor track or treadmill workout.
- Activity tracking: If an athlete isn’t wearing their smartwatch, HRM-Fit captures steps, calories burned, intensity minutes and all-day heart rate. It will also update all compatible Garmin devices via the Garmin Connect smartphone app.
- Running dynamics: Receive running dynamics, including ground contact time balance, cadence, stride length and more – when paired to a compatible Garmin smartwatch – to help improve form.
