    Doesn't last

    I had this heart rate monitor for only 5 months before it started to peel. After 6 months it stopped working. I took care of it as instructed. I decided to spend more money and upgrade my activity watch to have a long term savings instead of having to continuously replace this monitor. It is also inaccurate unless worn just right and it can get uncomfortable.

    I have the replacement plan for my polar HR& monitor. I brought it in to replace and Best Buy no longer sold them :(. I purchased this based on the wording saying that it would work with Iphones. It does not work like the HR7 and I returned it immediately.

    it said it worked with Ipad. I bought it as a gift and when she tried it out it would not work with her Ipad2 or her IPhone 6. I took it back and I was there on Monday but the last day to return was Saturday so I got store credit instead of my money back. I still can't figure out what I am going to buy. I will think long and hard before I shop here again.

    I was told by the sales associate that this would work with the Applefit app and the Garmin app. I can't get it to sync with anything. The Garmin site doesn't even list it as a product.

    Tried to take back off to check battery on the day it arrived, the screws on the back are so delicate they immediately stripped from the screwdriver. Took back for refund.

      Thank you for taking time to review the Heart Rate Montior. This Heart Rate Monitor does have a user replaceable battery. The sensor module will un-snap from the strap, and then there are four screws that can be removed in order to change the battery. Instructions for changing the battery can be found in this link: http://static.garmin.com/pumac/HRM3_Instructions_ML12.pdf. Thanks again for the review. -JFH Garmin

    When using this with my Vivoactive HR it takes the accuracy level to a perfect match to the Tele-Pulse Monitor at the gym! Hardly noticeable!

    Good until battery needs changing

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've had 2. Mainly because of devices they sinc with. First one stopped working after two years. Second one, the tiny screws corroded and could not be removed when the battery needed changing. That one lasted a year. Went through 2 batteries.
