Review on 💓 Optimized Garmin Heart Rate Monitor by Major Lindsay

I've only had it a few days but for now I'm sticking with 'hard' straps. They are simply better constructed than the so-called soft straps and there are none of the complaints that one would get from a hard strap. The soft straps I've used have metal connectors that rust from sweat. This strap is so comfortable that I wear it for at least seven hours on two consecutive days. Soft straps have always given me problems (disappearance and spikes over time). When I used stiff straps many years ago, the hard straps have served me for years. The soft straps had to be replaced after about a year and that was annoying. Besides that, the price is so high that I could buy two. Very happy.
