OLATHE, Kan., Jan. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced HRM-Fit^™, its newest heart rate monitor created for women.

"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.
