The variants on Amazon.ca

For cycling or a gym session

If a bike computer, watch or app records your workouts, start with the HRM 200. Check whether the receiver expects ANT+ or Bluetooth and use Garmin’s open or secure Bluetooth mode as required.

For workouts when you leave your watch behind

Choose the HRM 600 if a session needs to be saved on the strap. Set up Garmin Connect, then follow Garmin’s process for starting the recording and syncing it afterward. Check support for the specific advanced running metric you want.

Choose the size by chest circumference

Measure where the strap sits. Garmin publishes 60–85 cm for XS–S and 80–119 cm for M–XL. There is overlap from 80 to 85 cm. The offers here are the identified M–XL variants.
