Added value/metrics HRM pro with F6 pro?

Co over 3 years ago

Hi, someone using the HRM pro in combination with the Fenix 6 pro? Will de HRM pro bring any additional metrics on top for running?

I currently use an old Mio HRM band, primarily for more accurate HRM. So will a HRM pro from Garmin bring me added value?

Appreciatie your thoughts, Co

This (L/R Balance) is the most useful for me as well - as I had some ankle issues from a past injury.

i use it also for rock climbing/ bouldering to record HR/ Steps etc and offload the data to the watch…

It will give you running dynamics metrics, such as ground contact time, L/R balance, vertical oscillation, etc. It's up to you if that is useful to you or not. I have a F6 pro and an HRM-pro.

I do not think running dynamics are actionable or useful.

And most directly correlate to pace anyway.

I find GCT balance useful to track ankle or feet issues. That's it really.

The other features of the HRM-PRO are running power, the ability to store-and-download HR data (useful for swimming or contact sports), and the ability to support multiple concurrent Bluetooth connections (eg. while using Zwift)

These may or may not be of value to you, but I thought I would mention them.
