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 Angelica Boiter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good replacement for Garmin HRM Chest Strap

I've been using my Garmin Forerunner 910XT since it was first released in late 2011 and it came with a Garmin heart rate monitor that mysteriously stopped working last month. It's time to buy a new one. I remember using a Polar H10 heart rate monitor earlier that actually worked with the watch (due to ANT+ support) but I couldn't find it. My running buddy told me to try the PowrLabs HRM which he got for Christmas and loves and for half the price of a new Garmin HRM I thought it was worth a try. BENEFITS - Excellent value for money - ANT+ support allows use with my Garmin Forerunner 910XT watch and Polar treadmill at the gym - Bluetooth 4.0 support allows use with smartphones and mobile apps (and exercise machines that use Bluetooth) --- tested with : Garmin Connect, Runkeeper, Nike Run, Runtastic, Zwift- -- Works with Samsung Galaxy Watch with sporty face (and should also work with Galaxy Watch Active 2). His HR data can then be exported to Strava as well as Samsung Health and other services. IP67 Waterproof: The bracelet can be dropped into water up to 1m deep for 30 minutes. See the TIPS section for more information. The strap is adjustable. No questions. 1 year warranty like REI, Nordstrom and Osprey brands. in the center of the chest, TIPSHRM has a waterproof rating of IP67. This means it is dustproof and can be thrown into water up to 1m deep for 30 minutes. This means it can be used for swimming (NOT diving) for up to an hour (according to the manufacturer). However, you should NOT use it regularly for this purpose. To ensure that the wristband is not damaged, please follow these tips: --- Do not expose the device to violently moving water --- If exposed to fresh water, dry thoroughly with a clean soft cloth Cloth --- If exposed to other liquids such as salt water/swimming pool water, rinse with water and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth --- Do not dry with a heating machine such as a hair dryer --- Waterproof performance may be compromised get damaged in the sauna In general, this heart rate strap works the same as Garmin and Polar straps, at half the price. Now about the annual New Year's decision to lose weight!

Pros
  • WORKOUT-PROVEN DURABILITY: With a 100% waterproof and sweatproof IPX67 construction, the heart rate chest strap has been tested by cycling and running professionals. Our training heart monitors are battle tested.
