first-of-its-kind heart rate monitor clips directly onto sports bras
to accurately capture important training metrics
OLATHE, Kan./January 8, 2024/PR
Newswire – Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced HRM-Fit, its newest
heart rate monitor created for women. Featuring a clip-on design, it
attaches to medium- and high-support sports bras to maximize comfort
while accurately capturing real-time heart rate and training data.
HRM-Fit is also versatile enough to be used during activities like
running, indoor and outdoor cycling, strength training, HIIT and
more.
“Designed with comfort in mind, the
HRM-Fit is a purpose-built training tool specifically created for
our female customers. Whether you’re going for a run or taking a
HIIT class, it easily attaches to the bottom band of a sports bra
and provides accurate heart rate and training data to help you know
your body better by tracking the ways you move.” –Susan Lyman,
Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Marketing
Designed to fit
Move freely and sweat it out with the
HRM-Fit. It seamlessly attaches to medium- and high-support sports
bras – including those from adidas, Athleta, NOBULL, Under Armour
and more – to minimize movement and enhance comfort.
Built to perform
The HRM-Fit helps athletes push their
limits with popular training tools, including:
- Connectivity: Transmit accurate, real-time heart rate and
performance data to compatible Garmin smartwatches and Edge cycling
computers, compatible fitness equipment, the Tacx Training app and
more.
- Training options: Capture accurate heart rate data for a variety
of activities, including running, indoor and outdoor cycling,
strength training, HIIT, fitness classes and more. Plus, if an
athlete takes off their compatible smartwatch1 and leaves
it out of range, the HRM-Fit will store the workout data, then send
it to the watch once the monitor is back in range of the watch.
- Indoor running: See pace and distance on a compatible Garmin
smartwatch when doing an indoor track or treadmill workout1.
- Activity tracking: If an athlete isn’t wearing their smartwatch,
HRM-Fit captures steps, calories burned, intensity minutes and
all-day heart rate. It will even update all compatible Garmin
devices via the Garmin Connect smartphone app.
- Running dynamics: Receive running dynamics, including ground
contact time balance, cadence, stride length and more – when paired
to a compatible Garmin smartwatch1 – to help improve
form.
