Bought this one to replace the one that came with my Garmin 405 forerunner. I forgot to remove it from my laptop and snapped that first one in half.

At first I wasn't sure this was the right part, but after looking and comparing the part number from Garmin's website to this part number, it is the same ANT and it DOES work for my Garmin 405. Didn't have to do anything special, just hooked it up and it worked for uploading on the first try.

Saved me alot of money, this one was way cheaper than the one directly from Garmin

I bought this Garmin ANT stick to use with the Garmin FR60. I didn't catch the web site description saying it was to be used with a different item. I checked the Garmin Web Site however and the product number is the same as that which came with the watch. Whew. Putting it on a lanyard is a great idea as it is quite easy to lose. Lost the original ANT stick the watch came with. Glad I was able to get this replacement for a good deal at Clever Training through Amazon. Downloaded Software from the Garmin website. Using Firefox as my browser on a Mac. No problems downloading. Works like a charm with my Mac. Through Garmin Connect you get to see charts of your heart rate and laps. Love it. Wish the watch (FR60) had GPS sometimes, but it is a smaller watch so they probably can't fit it inside the watch just yet (but that's a different review). I do use the watch with a footpod to get mileage. If you need a replacement ANT stick, this works well. I must say that this process is WAY easier than the Polar process, which frustrated me to no end. The Garmin web site to see all the info is much clearer as well. This is a breeze compared to Polar (own 3 polar watches--two for mostly cycling). And it works on a Mac!

This perfectly works with my Garmin Forerunner 610. Simple and easy to use.

The reason why I gave it four stars is the loop to hook on to a keychain, (or something of that nature,) is so small, it's hard to attach it to anything without feeling like you're going to break it. Also because the cap doesn't isn't physically attached, and sits loosely on the device, so I constantly feel like it's going to pop off and I'm going to loose it.

Bought this for my Forerunner 405cx to replace one I lost. Works just fine at 60% of the price Garmin sells it for. Fast shipping too.

Although it works OK
I lost my first one
Garmin should be able to make something that does not require another small part

Great price and fast shipping. As other reviewers have said, the ant stick is compatible with a number of garmin products. I bought mine to replace my lost ant stick for my 405. Upon receiving, just plugged into my computer and it recognized my watch immediately.

My item arrived when it was scheduled to and it was correct in all the details. Overall this was a great transaction!

Once I got the software installed everything worked great. I definitly recommend this product. Super easy, just set your garmin by the computer and that's it.

Had to replace my old dongle with this one as I accidentally fried my old one. No issues with this. Recognizes my Garmin Forerunner quickly and uploads with no issues. Every now and again, have to reset it, but that is far and in between. Otherwise, great product.

My prior Garmin usb ant stick was stolen from my car along with school books and a calculator. I'm sure the robbers were more upset than I (jerks) any who I realized i needed to replace this and did so. The garmin website wanted almost $50 dollars for the stick. Amazon's price was much lower. I was worried about the stick being able to detect my Garmin FR 60 womens watch but it detected it effortlessly and sent the information to my computer with no problem. So not I am back to running and heart monitoring.
