COOSPO Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap,Bluetooth ANT+ Chest HRM for Running Cycling Gym Fitness, Heart Rate Monitors IP67 Waterproof Compatible with Strava Zwift Wahoo Garmin Polar Peloton App

I've owned this monitor for two years now and it been faultless, as long as you do a couple of important things. Firstly wet the strap before you put it on... I just dip my fingers under the tap and draw them along the back of the strap. It auto senses when you put it on and starts automatically with a beep and then bluetooth broadcasts your HR I had previously been using my garmin watch to measure HR and connect to my Rowing machine, however I found these readings were pretty unreliable, this on the other hand is very accurate, if I'm doing an interval workout for example the HR rise and fall is tracked perfectly. Now here's the second thing you must do... take the battery out each time you finish using it, its as simple as giving it a twist with you thumbnail. The device is supposed to auto switch off when you take it off, but even if you unclip the sensor connectors, it sometimes starts picking up stray signals, probably cos its a bit sweaty! I take the bat out each time and they last over a year, and I work out at least 5 times a week. It broadcasts two different signals, either of which work, and makes it compatible with a very wide range of devices. I use it with my Garmin watch ans Concept PM5 rowing monitor with no problems at all. Much cheaper than other devices I have seen ands makes you workout data so much more meaning full knowing the HR data is spot on In Summary PROS Very accurate and reliable if you wet the contact surfaces compatible with wide range of devices using dual protocol signals Long Battery life- AS long as you take the battery out each time! CONS No on/off switch, so you need to take the battery out each time to ensure it doesn't run the battery down (....did I mention that?!)

Easy to set up and use. Easy connection to android phone and Strava. Good quality data with no issues. Comfortable and easy to wash.

After my Polar HRM became too old to work with the latest versions of Android, I did not feel like splashing out on something premium and figured this Coospo HRM was worth a try. My first couple of mountain bike rides with it showed that it worked well but would drop out or report incorrect readings for some of my ride. I replaced the battery to see if that would help and while it did appear to at first, I found that it would still misreport at times with Map My Fitness telling me my heart rate was 70 bpm and my Fitbit Sense 2 saying 135, for example. So I knew something was amiss. Not willing to give up on it, I bought a batch of Ab Flex conductive gel from Amazon and the difference was immediate. Applying a generous amount to either my chest or the HRM band itself meant it never dropped connection and gave me data I could trust. Since the initial teething troubles, I've worn it every ride for the past 3 months and I've been impressed by the reliability. The first replacement battery is just starting to go, I think, as on last night's ride it misreported for some of it and it's been so reliable since I got the gel, that's why I'm putting it down to the battery failing after approximately 15 - 18 hours of use. Which I think is fair enough for that size of battery, although it doesn't report the battery level to my phone and I have to use a multi-meter to verify that the voltage has dropped - that's why I've knocked a star off. I had never heard of the Coospo brand before I bought this HRM but I see now that they make other cycling related products and I wouldn't hesitate to try something else of theirs.

I lost my Garmin HRM unit, so wanted a replacement and saw some good reviews of this item, which was much cheaper than a replacement Garmin unit and had both Bluetooth and ANT+. It seemed to work ok for a month, but then started reading very low, only showing readings of between 90 and 110, whatever my level of effort. This is when riding on Zwift or using my Garmin head unit on an outdoor ride. I replaced the battery and also tried both Bluetooth and ANT+, but nothing fixed the issue. I have since found my old Garmin HRM unit and compared the Coospo device with the Garmin and my watch. The Garmin and watch always show similar readings, but the Coospo device always shows between 90 and 110, whether resting or working out. I'm so glad I found my trusty old Garmin unit, as this Coospo unit is just not fit for purpose.

I bought this in desperation after I had purchased the official Garmin Dual HR chest strap and had nothing but problems connectivity wise(seriously-avoid). This chest strap has given me no problems whatsoever over a month of regular use. When you connect the press studs it gives you a double beep as confirmation it is working. After disconnecting you get a single beep to confirm cessation. It connects to my Garmin Instinct 2 Solar every time and remains connected through my workouts. This is welcome when you're fitting a run in before work and haven't got time to faff around. My chest strap from Garmin did neither of these things. From all reports the battery should last around 6 months (remember to disconnect the pod from the strap after your workout). I see no reason to doubt this. Edit:I see that someone is saying in their review to take out the battery after every use. This is nonsense. One bonus I've noticed is that my workout data now shows respiration. I had heard that only official Garmin straps allowed this data to be recorded so to get it from the COOSPO is a nice addition. All in all I'm very pleased with this strap and can recommend it to any other runners looking for a low priced heart rate chest strap.

Had a coospo for about 9 years and it's paired with everything I've thrown at it. After it started failing due to deteriorating strap replacing it with another from the same brand was a mo brainer. Arrived quickly and, as with it's predecessor, it paired with no issues with all my gadgets (watch/phone/laptop/head unit). New one also has a green light and a beep to show it's working so makes it much easier to know if I've not connected it correctly. At a third (or more) if the price of a lot of others I'm very happy with my new unit.

So I’ve used this for 2 months now. I train 10+ hours a week, cycling, running and weightlifting in the gym. Over the years I’ve been through 3 Wahoo Tickr and 4 Garmin HRM Pro heart rate straps. Both of these branded Heart rate straps have not lasted me longer than 6- 12 months before stopping working. When my 3rd Wahoo died on me I decided to take a gamble on the cheapest HRM I could find for a mad laugh as I had nothing to lose considering I seam to have no luck with straps twice and 3 times as much as this one. So far it’s been spot on. It’s accurate, responsive and comfortable (more comfortable than my more expensive ones). The data is clean and doesn’t drop out and it beeps twice when it’s connected and once when it’s disconnected. This is such a handy feature in my opinion. I’m an extremely heavy sweater and it has stayed functional when drenched. Only thing that you need to make sure you do with this monitor is to disconnect the unit from the strap when you have finished using it otherwise it seams to drain the battery. I’m interested in how long this will last compared to my previous far more expensive straps that let me down so often in the past. Don’t be put off by the low price as this seams to be a quality product.

So far so good, pairing with my iPhone no issues to report. Helping me to understanding my health a bit better. Excellent product.

Funkar bra, gör jobbet. Kan vara lite krånglig att få igång och kopplad till klockan men när man använder den så är det inga problem.

Bought it to wear during spooky games while streaming, through this I got to find out my resting heart rate was too high (100bpm) which lead to doctor visits to find out that my blood pressure was on the low end and because of this, if I stressed my heart out on the regular (IE having a high heart rate) I could potentially cause my heart to grow and my low blood pressure wouldn't be able to produce enough oxygen for it to work leading to death. So I spent $30 for the haha's and instead ended up preventing a possible way of death and a fun story to share at parties.

J'utilisais une ceinture Garmin qui ne fonctionnait plus malgré le changement de pile, changement de ceinture textile... Je ne voulais pas remettre 50 ou 60 euros dans une ceinture. Cette ceinture CooSpo est top. Elle bip rapidement pour indiquer la detection du HR, elle tient bien malgré l'effort. Elle est top jusqu'à present après 3 utilisation. Je recommande.

I had a Garmin HRM which died after a couple of years, so was a little wary of spending big bucks on a heart rate monitor with a short lifespan, and decided to give the Coospo a go to compare the low cost option. The user guide is simple and straight out of the box it connected to my Garmin 955, Fenix 5 (now used as a bike computer) and C2 erg with no problems. The strap is comfortable and unclipping the monitor from the strap to ensure battery life is simple. My heart rate shows up quickly once connected and have had no issues with the signal/connection. I can't comment on the accuracy apart from saying it looks about right to me, so overall I think it's great value!

Half the price of most brands and work flawless
