Review on πŸ‹οΈ Enhance Your Workout - Garmin Replacement Soft Strap for Heart Rate Monitor by James Trapkin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Comfortable but unreliable - now on my third strap and same issues.

Either a design flaw or quality control flaw that makes these harnesses unreliable. I've now had my third strap in eight months and the same problems persist: 1. The strap shows a low heart rate (usually 72) until 10-15 minutes of use.2. The bracelet stops measuring the heart rate after a few hours, showing 72.3. To be honest the strap works perfectly half the time. But 50% is a bad estimate! Garmin changed the band twice for free, but I really don't want to change it every four months! Today it stopped transmitting halfway through a 60 mile journey. No amount of belt adjustment could make it work properly.

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • A bit of variety
