Review on POWR LABS Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor Armband: Optimal Tracking for Polar, Wahoo, and Garmin by Ricardo Malhotra

Used a Polar OH1+ HRM but brought it back because of a 'short' battery life of 12 hours, although it allows for up to 200 hours of personal data storage that you can download later. I thought this Power Labs Bracelet HRM would be better since it has 60 hours of battery life, so I bought it. Found out that it only uses 2 green LEDs to get HRM data while Polar seems to be using 6! I've achieved great reliability with the Polar OH1+ and loved it, apart from the 12 hour battery life. In addition, Polar uses an elastic wristband that fits snugly without affecting blood circulation in the arm. Power Labs doesn't use elastic, but what seems to me is a material that doesn't last long and degrades, although that's just my first impression. I checked it out and it hasn't given me any reliable heart rate data showing my heart rate going up to 180 when in a warm up state of around 100 bpm. The Polar OH1+ was in the same spot on my arm and gave great results and had the same tension. Cannot recommend Power Labs bracelet HRM. But instead a polar bandage. Now they have a newer model than the OH1+. Easily connect Power Labs to sports watches.
