CooSpoH6 Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap,HRM Bluetooth ANT+, for Running Cycling Gym Sports

I use this HRM for Spinning and Burpee sessions. I already had a Wahoo bike cadence sensor so I am using their app for my rides. This HRM was easy to connect with Wahoo, it was visible immediately. You do have to be wearing the HRM before trying to add it as a device to Wahoo. I can't comment much on water resistance, I haven't tried swimming in it. I do spray it down with antibacterial liquid after each use and it gets pretty wet then and also with sweat and I have had no problems so far. The readout from the HRM is constant and appears accurate compared to a Huawei wrist band. It has transformed my spin sessions as I can now target heart rate zones and sit in the fat burning zone for long periods and spike up to high HR doing increasing resistance climbs and be accurate about it. My theoretical max HR at age 52 is 168bpm and I am confident this is reading accurately as when I am working to exhaustion point in any exercise the HRM records in the high 160's and low 170's. The band is plenty long enough for me and I'm a 44 inch chest and there is spare band to expand, it also fits my son who is very lean and he can tighten it plenty far enough. I have just measured it and fully adjusted it is 42 inches unstretched and a massive 72 inches fully stretched. For you skinny folk it can be shrunk down to 24 inches if you get the rubber none slip backing near the front to go through the buckle but that would be a loose fit at 24-26 inches. I haven't had any issues at all with slipping. The device itself clips onto the band via two press studs which means it can be disconnected easily for washing and for washing the band. It's an absolute bargain compared with the Wahoo band and Polar brand. I have this and the cadence sensor connected via Bluetooth ANT+ or whatever it's called and can still have wireless headphones also connected to my phone. Buy it!

Super value. Connected simply to my Garmin, and was remembered after power down and power up. Simple and effective. Not able to comment on battery life as only used on two 40km rides.

As a fairly new runner of three years, I’ve been using a garmin wrist monitor to measure my heart rate. I’ve been told chest monitors are more accurate, and I wanted to try heart rate zone 2 training methods but didn’t want to spend a huge amount on a second device. At under £30, this model seemed worth a punt.The instructions are shockingly spare. A slip of paper informing you how to adjust the strap (pretty obvious just looking at the strap itself), how to insert the battery (obvious) and how to attach the sensor to the strap (again, pretty obvious). Nothing about connecting it to an app, or whether there’s a dedicated proprietary app we need to download. Fortunately youtube and Strava sorted this out for me. It’s actually easy to connect it to Strava: put the strap on, clip on the sensor, open strava and go to record an activity. There’s a heart icon which flashes when in range, next to the record button. Click it and it should connect. Jog on the spot to see the number go up on the strava screen.I took it out for a trial run measuring chest HR and wrist HR in tandem, using my usual watch. Apart from an odd spike in the graph at the start of the run for the chest monitor, the graph for the chest monitor followed the garmin wrist monitor closely. Not a significant difference.After adjustment, the chest strap wasn’t uncomfortable and the sensor is light enough not to be noticeable while running. It stayed in place throughout my run. All seems good. I wouldn’t want to pay much more for a chest monitor; the price is just about right for my present needs.

Got the DDPY app recently and Dallas is always banging on about heart rate, after reading reviews and comparing them against prices, i settled on this HRM, now being a big lad around 51" chest i contacted the seller who was honest and said it wouldnt fit. However i seen other reviews saying it did fit the bigger person.2months in update, works like a charm, I use it for any and all workouts with the DDP app set to custom, had to take it in a few times and never had a problem with a loss of connection or anything. Top product.So i took a punt knowing amazons returns are great, and it fitted....not only did it fit i actually had to tighten it from its biggest setting as it wasnt tight enough to get my HR.Connecting it nearly cost some stars in the review until i realised it was me, when using with the DDP app do not pre connect it to your phone or pc, allow the app to do all the legwork, follow the website for the chrome extention on the PC, i have used it connected to the phone and the PC and it works fine.if you have any questions feel free to ping them my way, or contact the seller who was quick as a flash to answer my question.I fully recomend this HRM for the DDPY app, and good luck in your health kick or weight loss jounrey....BANG!6 month update,It stopped working, changed batteries, tried with several devices and it just won't connect, nothing I can do to make it work, most upsetting as all of the above states it was the perfect HRM to DDPY I recommend it to everyone I. Class and online and now it's just stopped working.
