Garmin vs Cateye/Polar
Does anyone know if either the Cateye V3 or Polar heart rate monitors are compatible with the Garmin Edge 500? I want the Edge but don't want to buy the strap.
Thanks
Thanks

My Edge 500 came with the Garmin strap. I got the bundle with the cadence sensor, though.
That said, if the strap you have is ANT+ compatible, it should work. Look at the back for the ANT+ logo.

I have an old Polar with a strap and it didn't work with my Edge 305. However, maybe the newer ones will. If you are going to buy a Garmin Edge, it will come with a heart rate strap.
