Now, while the HRM-PRO Plus is first and foremost a chest strap that transmits ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart data like any other chest strap, there are some specific items that differentiate the Garmin strap from other straps (at least, if you’re already a Garmin watch user). The main change of course is now the pod has a tool-less battery compartment, which we’ll discuss in a second. That is to say they are single-piece straps, where the pod is built directly into the strap. The strap is the same as the previous HRM-PRO strap, which is basically the same as the HRM-TRI and HRM-RUN straps.

Here’s what you’ve got:Īnd then inside, there’s the strap itself (single piece), plus both a manual and a quick start guide:
This is a pretty straightforward piece of gear, with only one component, and thus inside the box you’ll only find one neat thing, plus a bunch of paper and some plastic baggies. But hey, I’m sure you can probably still buy it on Amazon US and have it shipped in just fine. While this legislation apparently does not apply to the Apple AirTag, it does apply here. Meaning, in Australia, coin-cell battery devices must require a tool to access the battery compartment, in an effort to reduce accidents with kids eating batteries. One minor note though is that the HRM-PRO Plus is not going to be available in Australia, due to newish legislation that prohibits sale of coin-cell battery devices that are tool-less entry. Obviously, the battery door and color-changing bits are hardware, so existing HRM-PRO straps don’t get that magically via firmware update. Which basically means, software-wise, the HRM-PRO & HRM-PRO Plus straps will be identical (for now anyways, all bets are off for the future).

Best of all, sometime today, the existing HRM-PRO will receive a firmware update that adds the transmission of pace/distance to the firmware. – HRM-PRO Plus has white pod, while HRM-PRO has a yellow podĪnd that’s it. – HRM-PRO Plus has new tool-less battery door design – Ability to transmit pace/distance both indoors and outdoors (within sensor settings) In fact, it’s really only different in three ways, of which one of them gets equalized in software today via firmware update (specifically, version 8.80). In many ways, the HRM-PRO Plus isn’t super different than the existing Garmin HRM-PRO.

Nonetheless, I’ve been using the HRM-PRO Plus for a while, so I figure I’ll go through the full in-depth review of the HRM-PRO Plus, just like any other straps. So Garmin says that in terms of functionality, both units are identical, save the battery compartment aspects.
And, best of all, the software changes for the indoor running pace/distance is being released as a firmware update to the existing HRM-PRO today. There will soon be watch bundles offered with the Garmin HRM-PRO Plus straps instead of HRM-PRO. Ultimately, these are minor changes, and for the most part this is just considered a running change. Further, they’ve changed the color of the HRM-PRO Plus pod itself. The new HRM-PRO Plus adds an indoor run pace & distance option, while also changing the battery door situation to be tool-less (hopefully reducing straps dying after battery swaps).
#VERT X MULTI TOOL POUCH UPGRADE#
Like most Garmin ‘Plus’-enabled things, this is a modest upgrade from their existing high-end chest strap, the HRM-PRO that came out two summers ago. Garmin has just released a slightly revamped version of their HRM-PRO chest strap, now the HRM-PRO Plus.
