Garmin connect doesnt write my activity. HRM-PRO

Hi, how to use garmin connect properly if i only have the strap (HRM-pro) without any watches.

As i understood i need garmin connect only for connecting the device? Cause it doesnt get my runnin statistics from strava (but i connect my strava account to garmin in app settings) . Also i cant see my heartrate or any other info from strap in garmin-connect in realtime. Only little diagramm with my heartrate today and anmount of steps...

Maybe you can advice me how to use my HRM-pro features with phone+strava/runkeeper+garmin connect at maximum? Which way i can use it - now hrm-pro only gives me my heartrate in strava app. Like, for example HRM-dual which also has bluetooth connection to phone.

TY!

As Garmin describe it in manual, HRM-Pro without compatible watch connected, will only collect basic statistics like steps, hart rate and send it to Garmin Connect app.
If you want to have all data, including activity you should have compatible watch and pair it with HRM-Pro.

Everything depends.
How much money you want to spend, what type of activity you want to track.
If you will know that, it can narrow the posibilities list, but decision still will be on your side ;)

If you don’t need in exercise breathing then the forerunner 55 should do.
If you need in exercise breathing then consider the forerunner 255.
I have a 745, however, it doesn’t do in exercise breathing. The 255 does and has a much better GNSS/GPS.

I use the HRM-Pro and Strava with my 745.

Thanks, generally i want to use hrm for running, and to analyse my running sessions. In "in exercise breathing" you means hert rate in realtime while runing?
