Garmin offers five different types of heart rate monitors and I can understand that this might be a bit overwhelming if you ‘just want an HR strap’. So I’ve done the research and will list the intended purpose (if the names aren’t clear enough) and their differences. First a small overview per strap. HRM-Swim The HRM Swim The HRM swim was introduced in 2015 and, if you ask me, is probably getting a makeover this year. The real differentiating thing behind the HRM-Swim is that is comes with a different strap. It is wider and has more grip points. I’ve tried swimming with other straps in the past, but a fast flip-turn-push-off could easily let a strap slip of my chest. The HRM swim is also the only strap that comes with the strap extender by default. So the strap is a bit wider and has a different layer on the inside as you can see in the image on the side (click for large). Lastly, the Swim has local storage to transfer your data when there is a connection with your watch as water is not great for radio waves, but this works over ANT+ only and only Garmin []
