All i want is to monitor calories and heart rate. I have a HRM3

Former Member over 8 years ago

All I want is to monitor my workout for calories and heart rate. I have a HRM3 i currently use with Endomondo. I also have a Polar Heart Rate Strap and can use Polar's app. But I have been using Garmin instead. i may switch back to the POLAR though. I don't want to have to pay for the updated Endomondo.

So, can I just connect the HRM3 to connect without some other device?

The answer is no, and the reason is simple

can I just connect the HRM3 to connect without some other device?

No.

The Garmin HRM3 chest strap is a device that blindly broadcasts the user's heart rate data over ANT+.
Garmin Connect is an online service platform the user can only access over the Internet.
The HRM3 has no capability for Internet access on its own.
Ergo, you need some other Internet-connected device as the go-between, at the very least.
