    Great for Peloton users

    I really love my Peloton but the heart rate monitor they offer is terrible. This heart rate monitor is very easy to set up, just complete the initial charge, press the button and connect to Peloton. Any future workout will automatically create a pair as soon as you turn it on. Very consistent and accurate readings. I worked with it for two weeks without charging. All in all a great product and worth the price. I've had it for 2 weeks now, if there's any change in quality I'll update the review.

    Pros
    • High marks for support and durability from testers
    Cons
    • Not sure

    Works great! Too bad there is no battery included.

    So far, so good! I don't think there really is a good place to wear any type of watch or monitor. I wear it on my forearm and don't even know it's there (although I have an odd tan line now). In addition, through all the bumps in the road and while driving, it records the exact heart rate. So far the battery life is amazing - I'll update if I come across anything other than what I've left here so far. Update 4-9-21: Unfortunately the battery life suddenly dropped by about two hours before it…

    Excellent product, I recommend Nordictrack X32i users

    Excellent product. I use it when I run my Nordictrack X32i (about 20-30 miles a week). It connects a few seconds after I start my run, so there's a little delay, but it works. I hate chest straps so this is absolutely perfect. It is not stated to work with Nordictrack products, but at least it will work with X32i. It has exactly the same readings as my Galaxy Watch 3, so I'm guessing it's pretty accurate. I love the charger and the fact that it's rechargeable. It's rated for 60 hours, but I'll…

    Pros
    • Ideal for outdoor activities
    Cons
    • Crumpled packaging

    As advertised - heart rate monitor

    I saw this product and was surprised that the battery is long lasting and rechargeable. It paired seamlessly with my Lezyne GPS bike computer as well as my phone. I will use an armband when traveling when my chest strap finally gives out (not for long which is why I bought this device). I took a 4iii chest machine and Powrlabs for a walk to compare readings and each time I checked they were within a few bpm. If it's as accurate as my chest strap, that's good enough for me. Due to the long…

    Pros
    • Lots of positive vibes
    Cons
    • Packaging is ugly

    Fits my NordickTrack/iFit

    This review is about iFit more than anything else. I have a 2 year old NordicTrack treadmill with a smaller screen that has iFit 2.6.5 software installed. The updated software will now prompt you to connect HRM. iFit's official model was also $80 for the bandage model, but without the 2-day shipping. I have only used this model with my treadmill. As far as I can tell, there's no way to connect it to a treadmill. In fact, pairing only really happens when you start an ActivePulse workout in iFit…

    Pros
    • Excellent construction
    Cons
    • Available in white only

    Accurate and easy-to-use heart rate monitor

    I bought a Powr-Labs heart rate monitor to replace a chest strap that I was having trouble with. I mainly use it with the Peloton bike and the Peloton app. When I turned on the Powr-Labs heart rate monitor, it paired seamlessly with the bike. Since the first pairing, the heart rate monitor connects automatically when I turn on the bike. It also automatically connects to the app. To test accuracy, I compared the heart rate on the Powr-Labs monitor to the heart rate on my Apple Watch and digital…

    Pros
    • Best
    Cons
    • There are more interesting options.

    Unreliable HRM Cannot recommend buying Polar HRM.

    Used Polar OH1+ HRM but returned due to 'short' battery life of 12 hours, although it allows up to 200 hours of data storage for personal use which you could have downloaded 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 found great reliability with the Polar OH1+ and apart from the 12 hour battery life I liked it. In addition, Polar…

    Pros
    • Trial version for one year
    Cons
    • Unreliable

    Perfect for indoor and outdoor workouts!

    I ordered this heart rate monitor for my Hydrow ROWR and Peleton as my Apple Watch doesn't work with either. Life! The product arrived quickly and after unpacking I tried to charge it but noticed that the charger was not attached well due to the missing magnet. I contacted support and they promised me a replacement charger. When the package got lost in the mail I had to contact support again and they sent me a second heart rate monitor to replace. Excellent service and commitment to customer…

    Pros
    • Easy setup
    Cons
    • Definitely bad product

    When I first used the Powr Labs wrist heart rate monitor it seemed like a great HRM for training. I don't see how similar devices from Wahoo and Polar could be any better. It paired easily with my smartphone fitness tracker. Given that the underlying technology is available in countless "fitness watches" selling for half the price or less, it seems like the main price you pay for when buying this type of dedicated Bluetooth heart rate monitor is the ability to connect to different smartphones…

    • Few competitors

    • Some cons

    Unreliable HRM Can't recommend buying Polar HRM instead

    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…

    Pros
    • WATER RESISTANT AND RECHARGEABLE: This IPX67 wrist heart rate monitor is sweat and water resistant. It also has a VERY long battery life between charges - up to 60 hours of battery life! Recharging the monitor's battery is easy with the included wireless docking station.
    Cons
    • New Competitors Arrive

    Perfect for indoor and outdoor workouts!

    I ordered this heart rate monitor for my Hydrow ROWR and Peleton because my Apple Watch doesn't work with either. The price is lower than Garmin and Wahoo products, and the Powr Labs heart rate monitor has longer battery life too! The product arrived quickly and after unpacking I tried to charge it but I noticed that the charger was not fixed well due to the missing magnet. I contacted support and they promised me a replacement charger. When the package got lost in the mail I had to contact…
