Does this belt *only* measure the pulse or also the running dynamics such as steps, etc.? Background to the question: According to the specifications, it only measures the pulse, but it looks like the strap from my Fenix 3 bundle (original version), which can also measure running dynamics.
Additional question: Is the belt also available as a replacement without electronics? Mine is a few years old and looks the same...
If it is negative twice, I will order an HRM-Run.

Accepted Answer

The belt only measures the pulse. I cannot answer the additional question.

Answer

Thanks for the feedback. I checked with Garmin: the belt alone is not available as a replacement for HRM-Dual. I ordered the HRM-Run - it has already arrived and been successfully tested.
