Running Dynamics

You can use your compatible Garmin smartwatch paired with the Garmin HRM 600 premium heart rate monitor to provide real-time feedback about your running form.

The heart rate monitor has motion sensors that measures torso movement in order to calculate running metrics. For more information, go to garmin.com/performance-data/running.

Please note: Ground contact and step speed loss metrics are not available while walking.

‣Cadence: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It displays the total steps (right and left combined).
‣Stride length: Stride length is the length of your stride from one footfall to the next. It is measured in metres.
‣Vertical oscillation: Vertical oscillation is your bounce while running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso, measured in centimeters.
‣Vertical ratio: Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number typically indicates better running form.
‣Ground contact time: Ground contact time is the amount of time in each step that you spend on the ground while running. It is measured in milliseconds.
‣Ground contact time balance: Ground contact time balance displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time while running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2 with an arrow pointing left or right.
‣Step speed loss: Step speed loss is how much you slow down when your foot hits the ground while running. It is measured in centimeters per second. A lower number is typically better, as it indicates you have to do less propulsive work to speed back up.
‣Step speed loss percent: Step speed loss percent is how much you slow down when your foot hits the ground as a percentage of your running speed. This accounts for step speed loss typically increasing with faster running speed.

Running Pace and Distance

The Garmin HRM 600 premium heart rate monitor calculates your running pace and distance based on your user profile and the motion measured by the sensor on every stride. The HRM 600 heart rate monitor provides running pace and distance when GPS is not available, such as during treadmill running. You can view your running pace and distance on your compatible Garmin device when connected using ANT+ or secure Bluetooth technology. You can also view it on compatible third-party training apps.

Heart Rate While Swimming (ATM 5 Rated)

The Garmin HRM 600 premium heart rate monitor has a water rating of ATM 5, making it perfect for use when swimming, The Garmin HRM 600 records and stores your heart rate data while swimming. Heart rate data is not transmitted to paired Garmin devices while the heart rate monitor is underwater.

You should ensure the HRM 600 heart rate monitor is snug when using it for swimming. Movement of the heart rate monitor on your chest can affect the accuracy of the heart rate measurements. For pool swimming, the heart rate monitor should be worn under a swim suit or triathlon top. Otherwise, it may slide down your chest when pushing off the pool wall.

You must start a timed activity on your paired Garmin device to view stored heart rate data later. During rest intervals when out of the water, the heart rate monitor sends your average and maximum heart rate for the previous interval, and your real-time heart rate, to your Garmin device.

Your Garmin device automatically downloads stored heart rate data from the HRM 600 heart rate monitor when you save your timed swim activity. Your heart rate monitor must be out of the water, active, and within range of the device (3 metres) while your data is downloaded. Your swimming activity with the heart rate data included can be reviewed in the device history and on your Garmin Connect account.

Please note: To record heart rate data while swimming, your HRM 600 heart rate monitor accessory must be paired to your compatible Garmin device using ANT+ or secure Bluetooth technology. Only some Garmin devices support heart rate data while swimming.

Using the Garmin HRM 600 with other devices/fitness equipment

As well as pairing the HRM 600 with a compatible Garmin devices, you can connect the HRM 600 heart rate monitor to compatible fitness equipment using ANT+ or Bluetooth technology so you can view your heart rate on the equipment console.
