Workout recording when you leave the watch behind
Set up Garmin Connect before using HRM 600 activity recording, then sync afterward. The Polar H10 stores one session started in Polar Beat. Choose the workflow you are more likely to use, and practice it before a key workout.
The size labels refer to different bands
Garmin publishes 80–119 cm chest circumference for its M–XL, while Polar lists 71–118 cm for the black M–XXL Pro Strap. Measure at strap height and check the exact model and size the shop has selected.
Pick the connection and features your watch needs
Both can broadcast during a workout. If you want running dynamics, verify your Garmin model supports the particular metrics you want from the HRM 600. If a device expects the 5 kHz GymLink signal, see Polar’s compatibility list.
