About Heart Rate Monitors
Concept2 Performance Monitors are designed to receive and display heart rate data. It is not necessary to purchase a separate heart rate watch monitor if you simply want to view your heart rate on the PM. The PM will display your heart rate as long as you are wearing a compatible chest belt, and, if using a Polar H7 chest belt with a PM4, PM3, PM2 or PM2+, you install Concept2’s heart rate receiver and cable.
If you would like to track your heart rate during other activities, then you will need to purchase a watch monitor to receive and display your heart rate.
Concept2 sells Polar and Garmin heart rate equipment. Refer to the chart below for compatibility information.
