At the CES 2025 tech show in Las Vegas (January 7-10), Garmin has announced new product launches, including the Instinct 3 smartwatch and HRM 200 heart rate monitor.
HRM 200
Garmin is enhancing its heart rate monitor range with the new HRM 200. According to Garmin… ‘This provides athletes with accurate heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) data to help improve overall performance, whether that’s on the bike trail, a run or in the gym.’
Features of the HRM 200 include:
- The monitor sends heart rate and HRV data to compatible smartwatches, Edge cycling computers and compatible fitness equipment, as well as the Tacx Training App.
- The machine-washable strap comes in two sizes (XS-S and M-XL) to fit a wide range of athletes.
- A replaceable battery lasts up to a year.

Expected to be available soon, Garmin’s HRM 200 has a suggested retail price of £79.99.
