![]() ![]() The heart rate strap (if you bought that package) is Garmin’s classic plastic strap, officially the HRM1. The unit itself is identical, so if you add a heart rate strap later (or, if you already have an ANT+ strap), then it’s all still good.Īfter removing the plastic you’ll basically find four things: The Garmin FR15 watch, the USB charging cable, a pile of paper stuffs, and then the heart rate strap. If you buy it without the strap, then you’ll simply lack the strap in your box. So, for the purposes of this unboxing the unit has the heart rate strap.

I write these reviews because I’m inherently a curious person with a technology background, and thus I try and be as complete as I can.

Like always, I’ll be shipping that back to them in Olathe, KS, in the next few days and going out and getting my own via regular retail channels. To be clear, Garmin sent me over a FR15 to start testing with until retail availability. And now, I’m ready to give you the low-down. I’ve been testing it for the past month on all assortment of runs, rides, and just a lot of walking around – getting to understand how it all works. Effectively the FR10 and the Vivofit had a baby, and that baby was called the FR15. This would take their popular FR10 budget-focused GPS running watch and then combine it with the Vivofit activity monitor.
