Knowledge is power, and the 735XT proves it. Combining an optical heart rate monitor with a seriously rich assortment of features, it provides every essential metric needed by serious runners and tri-athletes. The heart rate monitor does away with the need for an HR chest strap. A built-in accelerometer captures pace and distance. A metronome provides stride-cadence vibration alerts timed with your training plan. To keep up with totally committed tri-athletes, this bundle includes Garmin's powerful HRM-Tri and HRM-Swim straps to provide nuanced swimming, cycling and running data.
- Optical heartrate sensors measure changes in blood volume under the skin, and work best when worn snuggly, 1 to 3 finger-widths above your wrist bone
