how can I be sure that my watch connects to my HRM-Run?

Former Member over 7 years ago

I was not satisfied with the accuracy of the wrist heart rate monitor on my Garmin, so I just bought the HRM-Run 4: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/530376#overview

How does this work and how can I be sure that my watch connects to my HRM-Run every time I do a workout and NOT using the wrist hr monitor? Do I have to manually turn off the wrist heart rate monitor every time I go for a run?

And just to make 100% sure, you can have a look at the green LEDs. If they're off and you still get HR, then the strap is working.

Firstly, You should add HRM-Run on watch.

Go to on watch menu this path , Settings - Sensors&Accessories - Add New - Search All

After adding, you don't need to manually turn off wrist hr monitor. It detects automatially

You can also check out in this menu whether hrm-run's status which is connected or not.

The notification will be "Ext. HR Connected".
