Garmin’s new heart rate tracker pairs nearly perfectly with sports bras

The Garmin HRM-Fit chest strap offers a comfortable and practical solution for sports bra wearers. Unlike traditional chest straps that wrap fully around the chest, the HRM-Fit features three clips that latch onto the sports bra band, providing a more secure fit without additional pressure. This design change makes wearing the chest strap more enjoyable and prevents underboob sweat. While it works best with medium- to high-support sports bras and may not be compatible with front-zip or underwire bras, it offers accurate heart rate monitoring. However, it may not be as easy to use with third-party smartwatches or outside of Garmin's platform. The strap is priced at $149.99.
