Review on ๐Ÿšด DREAM SPORT DB002: Advancing Performance with the Ultimate Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap for Bike Computers, GPS Watches, and Fitness Apps by Michelle Lopez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent heart rate monitor with connection problem

I have used many heart rate monitors, so I have a lot of experience with them. My current bracelet was Wahoo which I love for the status indicators. No other strap I've used has status indicators, which can be very helpful when pairing. It is strapless. However, Wahoo tends to record incredibly high heart rate spikes. This strap doesn't have that problem, it seemed very accurate throughout my workout with no hiccups. It uses a 2032 battery which I am guessing most others use 2025 which doesn't last as long (although you can still use 2032 in most of them). Like all others, it requires a coin to open the battery compartment and is very difficult to open. This is my favorite peeve with all those chest straps. Why can't they find an easier way to swap out batteries? This is my third strap since I got my Nordictrack bike but it's the first not to fit my bike. I deduct a star for that. It should connect just as easily as the others and I see this as a possible issue with other devices. It works with my tablet so I could use it that way. My other two straps could connect to both the bike and the tablet at the same time, so that's a downside of the Dream Sport monitor. The strap itself was comfortable and stayed in place. It has an attached buckle for tightening. Overall I liked this strap and would recommend it, but I wouldn't buy another one because it doesn't connect to my Nordictrack, so I'm worried it won't connect. with a future device that I will buy. *Thank you for taking the time to read my HONEST review.
