In fact, it’s really only different in three ways, of which one of them gets equalized in software today via firmware update (specifically, version 8.80). In many ways, the HRM-PRO Plus isn’t super different than the existing Garmin HRM-PRO.

Note that this Garmin HRM-PRO Plus media loaner was sent over by Garmin to test.
Nonetheless, I’ve been using the HRM-PRO Plus for a while, so I figure I’ll go through the full in-depth review of the HRM-PRO Plus, just like any other straps. So Garmin says that in terms of functionality, both units are identical, save the battery compartment aspects. And, best of all, the software changes for the indoor running pace/distance is being released as a firmware update to the existing HRM-PRO today. There will soon be watch bundles offered with the Garmin HRM-PRO Plus straps instead of HRM-PRO. Ultimately, these are minor changes, and for the most part this is just considered a running change. Further, they’ve changed the color of the HRM-PRO Plus pod itself. The new HRM-PRO Plus adds an indoor run pace & distance option, while also changing the battery door situation to be tool-less (hopefully reducing straps dying after battery swaps). Like most Garmin ‘Plus’-enabled things, this is a modest upgrade from their existing high-end chest strap, the HRM-PRO that came out two summers ago. Garmin has just released a slightly revamped version of their HRM-PRO chest strap, now the HRM-PRO Plus.
