Can I use HRM dual with a garmin watch but not wear said watch?

Hello,

I have a Garmin Forerunner 255 and it's been pretty good to capture data for running and gym sessions however, it doesn't work for kickboxing so I've been looking for a HRM. Now I noticed that the HRM dual needs to 'connect' to the garmin watch not the app.

My question is, can I wear the HRM Dual, and leave the garmin watch nearby to record said activity without wearing the watch (since I can't wear my wraps and gloves with a watch).

  • You can as long as the watch and the strap remain connected throughout the activity. There is no possibility of downloading HR data after an activity unlike with the HRM-Pro
