Review on Garmin Premium Heart Monitor Strap by Flex Morgan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Unreliable, and the battery is extremely difficult to replace.

This device works very well as long as it doesn't delaminate and fail. I had two of these. The first one lost connection to my Garmin 510 after about a year. Replacing the battery didn't help much, so I bought a new one. It starts to fail after only three months, which brings me to my second complaint. Of course, the first thing you do when your device fails is to change the battery! However, this is extremely tedious and error-prone. Rather than using something sane like a tiny hex head screw, the device features miniature Phillips head screws that are so tiny even a #0 screwdriver won't fit. I end up using jewelry tools, but the screws are so tight that the only way to get them out is to force a tiny screwdriver and force it to submit. Let's hope the battery is the problem this time.

Pros
  • Soft elastic band ensures a comfortable fit
Cons
  • Some small things
