Recording an Activity

When paired with the Garmin Connect™ app, you can record timed activities directly on your HRM 600. This can be useful for team sports, martial arts, and other activities where you need to remove your watch. You can record for up to 24 hours.

NOTE: The heart rate monitor does not record when the battery level is less than 5% (How do I check the battery level?). If you are recording an activity and the battery drops below 5%, the heart rate monitor will automatically stop recording.

Put on the heart rate monitor.
If necessary, press the button to wake the heart rate monitor.
From the Garmin Connect app, select > Garmin Devices.
Select the HRM 600.
Select Activity Recording.
Follow the on-screen instructions to start the activity.

The LED flashes every five seconds while the heart rate monitor is active and recording the activity.

NOTE: You do not need to stay within range of your phone while recording the activity.
After completing the activity, select Stop > Save from the activity screen in the Garmin Connect app.

If you remove the heart rate monitor without selecting Stop > Save in the Garmin Connect app, the heart rate monitor automatically stops recording and saves the activity before going into sleep mode. It also attempts to sync the activity with the Garmin Connect app.
