If you’re serious about training and want the most accurate heart-rate data possible, one of the best heart rate monitors is still the gold standard. Garmin makes some of the most sought-after models, but with three high-profile straps now in its lineup, the HRM Pro Plus, the HRM 600, and the HRM 200, it’s getting harder to tell which one is right for you.
On the surface, they all look fairly similar. But dig a little deeper, and it’s clear the brand is positioning each of these for different types of athletes. The HRM 200 is the most affordable of the three, designed for everyday heart-rate tracking across Bluetooth and Garmin’s own ANT+.
