Review on ๐Ÿƒ XOSS Optical Armband Heart Rate Monitor: Bluetooth 4.0 & ANT+ Wireless Health Accessories for Fitness Tracking by Andrew Kamkoff

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Virtually useless; The app recommended for it is written in Chinese

XOSS website calls bike products, so I think this HRM is designed for it, but the website doesn't mention this HRM. The recommended app was only in Chinese and had a very low rating, most of the issues related to language and connection issues. I was finally able to find an app that recognizes the XOSS HRM, but it took about a month, more or less. Now my phone "sees" HRM but no longer connects; Look, I'm an IT guy, so I know all about 'turning off and on', so I've disconnected my phone's battery multiple times, turned BT off and on, and this thing is just useless and complete. Waste of time/money. Now I'm curious if this HRM was a cheap knock-off of the Wahoo HRM; very similar design.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
