Review on ๐Ÿ‹๏ธ POWR LABS Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap for Garmin, Wahoo, Polar, Strava, Peloton, Cycling & Running Apps - ANT+ Heart Rate Monitor by Troy Simpson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great addition to training.

I've been using a Polar watch style heart rate monitor for over 20 years. Unfortunately, these devices don't connect via Bluetooth (older ones), so I was looking for a chest monitor that could be used with various apps on my phone. Phone apps have multiple benefits like performance history, pre-programmed workouts, gamification (like peleton style workouts on your phone). This monitor from PowrLabs is what you need. It's a little more comfortable than my polar. No hard plastic on the skin. The silicone grip is better than Polar. The strap is easily adjustable to accommodate very large breasts if necessary. I connected it to 3 apps on my phone. SWIFT, Cardiotrainer and Samsung's permanent fitness app. My Note9 connected easily to the chest strap and stayed connected even when I walked into another room after a bike ride. technical training. I look forward to following my progress on some hikes and climbs.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Expensive
