Looks almost identical to my Bluetooth HRM, which is very comfortable, forget it's on by the time I've put a t-shirt on over the top.
Garmin premium vs standard HR.

No, the Polar strap has two press studs which the Garmin HRM attaches to, just like the Garmin premium strap.
Here it is on Amazon, Just over £9.

I know it 100% works because it is the strap I bought and currently use with my Garmin HRM.
Not sure of this, but....

Although the Garmin strap is different from mine, mine is a complete strap with a plastic clip at the side - Have Garmin upgraded the strap t mimic the Polar?
Mine is like this:

The one you have is the 2nd latest generation I believe ^^ The one in DC Rainmakers article is a prior generation. There is a newer generation strap as well, which I have gone through 3 of in the past year (i.e. they didn't fix the problems with the previous generations when they made the latest one), the latest generation ones look like this:

So general consensus on the latest Garmin HRM's is that they are not perfect and probably not worth the premium for. But on the other hand they will replace with the minimal of fuss.
Sorely tempted to order that one in the link I posted above. At least I can act as a Guinea pig for all you guys!

I'm NOT using a Polar HRM, just the strap with the Garmin HRM plugged into it.
