I would like to buy an heart rate monitor band for use mainly during swimming.
The main thing I have not understand yet is if the Pro Plus model streams data real time during swimming or I can only record data and download it later.
By looking at the manual of HRM PRO Plus it seems that:
- to record data underwater ANT+ is mandatory
- it is not possible to stream data underwater
The other thing I did not understand is: if a start and than save a swim acitivity, the related heart data saved by the band are automatically associated to that session or result as a separate session? I mean when I see an activity in Garmin Connect It would result in two heart graphs one from the watch and another fron the band?
I just found also the new model HRM 200 but there is no way to compare products on official Garmin site.
Maybe the main difference is that 200 only measure heart rate while the Pro Plus also running dynamics.
The manual of HRM 200 does not say anything about the ability or not to stream data underwater.
