Just ordered a bargaintastic Edge 500. I already have a basic 200. Is the 500 compatible with my polar HRM strap ? Don't use one enough to justify a garmin specific one...

No probs. Keen to see what it does over the 200, which has been ideal in the yr I've had it.

Wait, surely if the Polar strap is ANT+ there should be no problems?

Polar straps are not ANT+.
Most Polar straps use Polar's own protocol, some newer ones are Bluetooth or Bluetooth Smart, none of these will work with a Garmin.
