Garmin - Heart Rate Monitor - Black

I'm using this during my work-outs and it's been awesome knowing my heart rate in real time. If you set a goal to stay above a certain avg heart rate, then it's much easier to keep yourself on tract when working out solo. The connection is super reliable (I use a Note 8 along with the myWorkouts app). Highly recommend as long as your phone/app is Ant+ compatible (especially when it's on sale!)! It's also, hands down the most comfortable chest trap that I've tried.

Works like a charm - much nicer than the old skool HRM straps that were mostly hard and uncomfortable. Got this for $50 - a no brainer purchase well worth the upgrade from their lower end strap/monitor. NOTE: this is NOT a Bluetooth device that can talk to your app on your phone. This is an ANT+ device that talks to other ANT+ receivers like the Garmin Vivoactive that I bought with this.

I have been using heart rate monitors for over 20 years, mostly Polar. I have watched the straps evolve, and this is as comfortable as I have worn. And rest assured, chest straps are still the gold standard, and I still haven't seen any other approach (wrist, etc) that have been proven to be as accurate. This strap is a great compliment to pretty much any of Garmin's fine GPS units or activity trackers. I bought it seperately because it was on sale and I am still deciding between the vivosmart and the watch. It will work with both, and it is nicer than the strap that you get when buying the package deal. It is worth checking the part numbers though, as this could change in the future, and I hope it does.

I got the Vivofit 2 for a gift so bought the heart rate monitor strap to go with it. First had an issue connecting to my vivofit through the Garmin App so I can add the heart rate monitor to the watch. This is more of a flaw with Garmin software than the actual strap. Once the vivofit re-synced to my samsung phone and added the heart rate tab, it connected automatically. The strap feels pretty comfortable but it did lose contact one or twice, may be due to adjusting the strap to fit better. I sometimes forget to wear it though, so while I read it's more accurate than fitness watches with HR, it is trade off in convenience.

I bought this heart rate monitor as a way to fine tune the measurement of calories burned while using my rower. It pairs quickly to my equipment and gives me accurate and immediate heart rate and calories burned right on the display of my exercise equipment!!! Great motivator to push myself to my limits!

great monitor connects well to my samsung s5. its very accurate and helps me keep my heart rate in the zone during workouts. also make sure your watch, phone, or heart rate device is compatible with this chest strap because it uses ant + connection not bluetooth.

I bought this heart rate monitor for my wife and she loves it. It syncs with her watch and she is able to track her heart rate while running. The best part was we found it on sale at best buy cheaper than anywhere else.

Easy to use and stays in place well, have had monitor straps that would loosen up or work their way down during a workout, not this one. Haven't had any issues with this registering the heart rate, would recommend
