Yep, I just put up the non-HRM price as you have a HRM strap from the 305 which will work with 310 will it not ?

At least, when I upgraded from the 610 to the 910 I kept my 610 strap and bought the non-HRM 910 and it all works fine.

I was directed to handtec a year or so ago and when I saw the telephone number I went in person, they are only 3miles from my front door, so I can vouch that they are "real", based in an industrial unit on the outskirts of Peterborough

Hope that helpsreassures?

Should also add that I also had no problems with them either

I think you're right Gus - the HRM straps work across different units.

Thanks OM, very reassuring. Is that right Gus, the HRM strap should be compatible? Bonus! :-)G

G - when I switched models I asked the Heart Rate thread the question and non other than PtB advised. Believe that makes it gospel!

I *think* you can even use non-Garmin straps, eg Polar, with the Garmin watches, as they all use the same technology for transmitting the info. Not 100% on that one though

Anything that's ANT+ works. Every Garmin HRM uses that except the very first house-brick sized 301. Timex Run Trainer does too, and a few others. Polar doesn't, they have their own proprietary data format. (You can put a Garmin HR sensor on a Polar chest band, though, and some people find them more comfortable and reliable than the Garmin bands. Me, I find they work about equally well at transmitting data and cutting a hole in my chest)

Oh and OT: I like my 310 far too much to sell it, sorry :)
