Garmin Elastic Strap for Heart Rate Monitor Replacement: Standard Packaging Review

My Omron chest strap has been getting sluggish and is a good replacement. The bracket ends don't fit perfectly, but they work. Happy to get my Omron going again.

Great replacement for my original which was starting to look like chewy bacon. I never noticed how stretched the old one was until I got this replacement. Should have bought it a few years ago!

They allow you to replace just the part of the chest strap that wears out over time without having to buy an expensive new Garmin strap. Thanks to them and new batteries, my belt has been working almost every day for years.

Replacement elastic strap for heart rate chest strap is exactly the same as the original. My original strap slowly stretched over more than a decade of use. I pair it with a Garmin 305 which I still use every other day.

Works and pairs perfectly with the Garmin heart rate monitor. They will last a long time if you take care of them. I rinse the sweat off the band with hot running water after each use, then hang it up and let it dry.

After a few years, these bands lose their elasticity, namely. it just gets gross from all that sweat no matter how many times you wash it off. The new band fits my HRM perfectly and no longer slips on my stomach when cycling.

Fits older Garmin chest straps. The elastic part is adjustable in size from small to extra large. Indistinguishable from the original strap that came with my bike computer. Great Price: I bought 3 for the price Garmin charged for one. I think the elastic can last longer with regular washing, so I plan to change it every 5 workouts (cycling).

This strap is a good replacement for any monitor that uses a strap with these ends. I currently have a Proform heart rate monitor and my old strap has stretched. I bought this one hoping it would fit. It is and I can use it. Just so you all know you can use this strap universally as long as the ends match up exactly with your old strap.

This is a strap. Cheaper than new HRM. I don't know what else to say about that - you know when you need it. It's also a good idea to have a spare strap in case the other one is still wet. The battery in the new Garmin straps lasts forever, and the plastic sensor is easy to clean and appears to be wear-resistant. However, the tape loses elasticity in places or creases. Replacement is quite easy, and the price for a new one is quite acceptable. (Garmin isn't usually known for cheap accessories…

After using my Garmin 305 for 4 years my HRM strap just wouldn't stay in place. He moved frequently and after a few minutes he was always on my stomach. I looked at the ribbon and it was curly like bacon and not that tasty. There is no elasticity! I ordered a new bracelet and my HRM is working again. It was very easy to fit the new strap and by comparing the new strap to the old it was clear I needed a replacement. And thanks to Garmin for separating the expensive HRM from the rubber strap…
