    I bought this unit to replace a Garmin strap that quit working. It paired easily with both my Garmin bike computer and Wahoo trainer. The battery lasted almost a full season which I think is reasonable. The heartrate readings it returns run close to the readings from my Garmin smartwatch. It is a great value compared to the big brand name straps.

    I was skeptical after some of the reviews and the price point but this HRM has worked great! I bought it to pair with Zwift and it connected easy and has worked great. I had a Tickr before that didn’t work as well so it’s not always about the brand or price.

    I agree the strap is a bit of a pain but it’s not enough to deter buying this product for the price.

    I just use a little water to wet the strap, pull it over my head, wet the nodes on the monitor and away we go. I always try to wipe it off and let it dry after to help it last. We will see if it makes it more than a few months.

    I got this after my Garmin was ruined in a fall. I didnt have 90 dollars laying around and I needed a new one since I do all of my training with HR. This product was much cheaper so I figured Id give it a try. So far its been on point. Its light weight, forget its even there and gives a super accurate reading. The only reason it didnt get 5 stars is the strap slips down at times in the back. Totally slid down and the whole thing was basically a belt until I stopped to fix it.

    I’ve had this product for a few weeks and have used it about 9 times. I use it with the wahoo app. The main issue is the pairing. I always remove the monitor from the strap when not in use but I have to re-pair, re-pair, re-pair when I need to use it. But once it works it’s accurate and pretty awesome. Just today it stopped pairing during my workout and I could not get it to pair again. It gets to the point that you don’t want to let it it ruin your workout…..but it does. I’m going to keep using it for now but I really need a more reliable solution. Such a bummer. Great price but you get what you pay for.

    Saw in another review that they had success after installing Myworkouts app. Just received the HRM today, installed Myworkouts and now have it functioning. Wasn’t sure my cheap ($30) LG Rebel 3 L18VL Android phone supported Bluetooth LE, which seems to be required, according to Myworkouts. A Google search revealed I could install a little free utility that would find out. So, I downloaded and installed and ran BLE Checker, which said it did. Finally found the Setting to add a Bluetooth LE device in Myworkouts and I was set, after the basic configuration, which was simple and intuitive. I’m running a trial workout right now, lying in bed with my laptop. Assuming this HRM is accurate, it’s all I could ask for, and the myworkouts app seems great. Gonna give this a trial run on my road bike tomorrow!

    This uses cheap replaceable CR2032 3 volt batteries, which I always have on hand.

    This thing is much smaller than I anticipated, which is good. It’s comfortable, I’ve been wearing it about 2 hours.

    I turned off battery optimizations for the Myworkouts app in android settings, at the suggestion of the app, so that things don’t get strange or fail altogether if the phone’s screen turns off or battery levels get below any threshold. All my other apps will optimize battery drainage but I don’t want that to happen for this. I want it to work perfectly no matter what.

    Edit next day: First day using while actually exercising. Road bike to and from gym, 5 miles each way, also kept Myworkouts app running in the gym. Worked great. Until I receive a bracket I ordered from China (!), I’m using a small bungee to hold my phone to handlebars, which works acceptably. Had no trouble reading my HR with this setup during my bike rides. I’m loving it! Had great rides and I was very pleased to know the answer to the question that I’d had in my head for months, “I wonder what my heart rate is right now” while riding to/from my gym.

    Edit a few months later: The battery died already. I couldn’t find a contact for Powr Labs and so I posted at their Facebook page, trying to avail myself of their 2 year battery replacement offer. That was several weeks ago and as far as I know, they did not respond. Anyway, I’d bought 15 CR2032 batteries a while ago, so I’m good.

    Edit2 a couple years later: Still using MyWorkOuts Android app. I’m finding that the CR2032 battery lasts perhaps a year in my almost daily 1 hour plus workouts. When I take off the strap I unfasten one of the two snap connectors and set the strap aside, refasten that snap connector when putting the strap on for the next workout. I figure that ensures that the electronics of the HR monitor are getting nothing like a signal and that this will make the battery last longer. Just before putting the strap on when starting a workout I get a drop of water on my index finger and wipe it on the back of the strap where it will pick up my heart beat. I saw this recommended and I think it helps ensure that the sensor gets a solid continuous signal. Maybe 2-3 times out of my now nearly 1000 uses have I found that the signal was lost when I checked out my app post-workout. That’s pretty high reliability. When that happens it could signal need for a new battery, or it could be inadequate contact at your breast bone. A bit of moisture there helps ensure that the monitor picks up your heart beat.

    I liked the easy set up. It paired fast and quick.
    I have a heart condition and need to monitor my heart rate while on my treadmill. It does the job well.

    I am replacing a Wahoo chest strap heart rate monitor, where the door for the battery broke after a very short time. This one seems like a better design overall, more robust. The heart rate monitor itself seems quite accurate. I’m using the monitor during Cardiac Rehab sessions, where my heart rate is being tracked during exercise with an actual medical system with EKG pads in addition to the Power Labs strap, showing just how accurate this strap is. The data from the EKG and this strap were/are exactly the same, changing at exactly the same time with no latency. Identical! And the tracking is very granular. Even shows missed beats in my heart rate which others did not do.

    I got this in October because I knew I was having gastric bypass and would need it after surgery to keep an eye on my heart rate when I work out. I tried to set it up shortly after I got it but I could never get it to work. I’m not sure if it’s the battery or the monitor is defective but I could never get it to connect to any of the apps it recommended. It says they will send a new battery in the first 12 months but I have no idea how to ask for that. So disappointed.
