[[File:RunningDynamics.jpg|right|thumb|500px|Garmin's Connect web site shows the metrics gathered using the HRM4 and [[Garmin Fenix 3]].]]
Many newer Garmin watches combined with a special chest strap (HRM-Run) will provide extra metrics that can give insight into your [[Running Form]]. The Garmin watches will provide these metrics in real time, allowing you to see the effect of changes in your form, similar to other [[Running Sensors]]. These metrics include:
* '''Cadence'''. My [[Comparison of Cadence Monitors]] showed that the Garmin HRM-Run provides an accurate measurement of your [[Cadence]]. This is probably the single most important metric in running, and this approach is more accurate than using the accelerometer built into a watch itself.
