It works, but only after........
  
This review is from: Garmin Heart Rate Monitor for Forerunner 305 and Edge 305 (010-10645-00) (Accessory)
My HR strap initially was not displaying bpm on my Forerunner 305.

To make it work do the following:
Use the mode button to get to
Settings>> General>> Accessories >> Restart Scan

It then worked well.

Frustrating that no box or instructions were included with the HR Strap.

I suspect this is a returned/gray market item.

Enjoy!

Flaky in wind
  
This review is from: Garmin Heart Rate Monitor for Forerunner 305 and Edge 305 (010-10645-00) (Accessory)
Before getting the Garmin Edge 305, I owned a Polar HR. The strap on the Garmin is not so stiff and fits better in my mind. The difference is the attachment that is under-over whereas the Polar was the reverse.

My only grudge with the strap is that it increases HR betas in windy condition. It's not uncommon for my HR monitor to report well above my HR max. I've seen up to 250 bpm. Usually holding my jersey close to my body (or farther away) to prevent flapping brings my HR reading to normal. I ha the same issue with the Polar strap.

Doesn't Work
  
I have a Heart Rate Transmitter & Strap. It doesn't work. I sent many e-mails to Garmin and got absolutely no help from them. (That's unusual for Garmin.)

Battery cover not sweat-tight
Be careful replacing the battery. The cover is not moisture tight and if it is not sealed, corrosive sweat can reach the electronics in side giving your monitor the electonic...

NOT WHAT IS ADVERTISED
I ordered this item thinking I would be getting what is pictured that being a HRM for my Edge 305. I received a Forerunner 301 HRM which will not sync to my Edge.

Does not work for Garmin Forerunner 305
I had to return this product since it did not work for the Garmin Forerunner 305. Luckily, a month later I found my original heart rate strap and did not have to go without.

Be Careful ! Not for the Forerunner 305 !!
The listing for this product is misleading. It states that it is for the Forerunner 305 and the Edge 305, however, it won't work with the Forerunner 305.

Precise, but lasted less than 2 years
Changed the batteries, followed the instructions of a Garmin technician, but had to buy a new one. Hope this lasts longer.

Doesn't work for me either, and poor customer support.
It was erratic. I tried with the gell and different positions (on the back etc.) as recommended in the trouble shooter guide.

Works fine
Bought this to replace the original one that came with the unit that I lost somewhere. Works fine, doesn't miss a beat.

Doesn't Work
Mine has never worked. I asked Garmin for a replacement and they ignored me.
by G. SPENCER

Great for use with the 305, but doesn't do Polar
I've found the Garmin HRM strap to be very reliable and easy to use for both running and cycling, much more so than my Polar WearLink strap which seems finicky by comparison...
by Brad Jackson

Great Product
This product works great. The heart rate monitor integrates with the GPS. It has improved my runs and workouts.
