I use a Garmin watch with a Garmin HRM myself, and the HRM has been fine until just recently the strap has started to give out on me and I've ordered a new replacement one (just a $20 replacement).

One of the things I recently read about that I am going to give a try is people found a specific Polar Wearlink+ strap can be used with the Garmin HRM and you can have the best of both worlds.. so I'm going to see how that works out for me.
