COOSPO Heart Rate Monitor Armband HW807, Bluetooth 5.0 ANT+ HRM with HR Zone LED Indicator, Tracking Heartbeat HRV for Fitness Training, Work with Peloton/Polar/Wahoo/Strava/Zwift/DDP Yoga

Just About Perfect. Just finished my first workout using this device and not only does it work flawlessly, but when testing against other trusted devices, it was highly accurate as well! Setup was virtually non-existent and the device can easily be used without an app of any kind. The only potential problem is in not having the ability to customize the color-coding to match individuals with a lower MAX HR.The unchangeable MAX for the device is set at 180 BPM and the color-coding is based on that figure. In my case, I’m 65 years old so my MAX would be (220-65), or 155 BPM. With that said, all I have to do is to keep in mind that I need to make sure that I stay UNDER the purple level. Easy Peasy.Speaking of apps though, I prefer to use (on Android) an app called CardioMez, and had zero problems in connecting to the device …didn’t even bother to read the instructions and it just works. :-)When using the CardioMez app where I have my own custom levels set, it’s a total no-brainer to know exactly the exact range I’m in at all times and without being concerned at all with the device coding.All in all, with or without using an app for tracking purposes, I couldn’t be any more pleased with this little jewel of a device and can highly recommend it based on my experience so far.

Great for DDP Yoga. I had been using the Wahoo tickr for DDPY for the last few years. I went through a few of them all of which I bought through Amazon. I had nothing but problems with them. Not connecting, losing connection in the middle of a workout, and dipping and spiking during workouts. I saw DDP selling this brand on his website, found it Amazon and ordered one, mostly because I could get replacement coverage after the warranty expires. I’ve been using it a few weeks and it has worked flawlessly, it was easy to setup through the app, you can set your zones in the app and easily tell by the color the monitor is blinking what zone you are in. The DDPY app found it and the zones are pretty close on both apps. I’ve had zero issues with it losing connection or being inaccurate. I workout between 90-120 minutes a day and after 7 days the battery is around 25 percent by day 7. It charges in less than 2 hours, which is better than dealing with a battery every few months. It’s also much more comfortable than a chest strap and since it’s on your arm it’s easy to tell what zone your in. It also works if you have tattoos, something other arm and wrist HRMs can have issues with. Overall I’m really happy with this HRM it’s taken some of the frustration out of working out! BANG!

Happy with it for running. I bought the 807 for low HR/MAF/zone 2 running and after a slight learning curve, I’m finding it useful, reliable, and a good value.I’ve found the best place to wear it is on my upper forearm near my elbow where it stays put without having to tighten the band too much.I use it with Mapmyrun on my phone, and the Coospo seems responsive to my changes in effort with little or no lag in updating my heart rate. I tested it against a finger pulse oximeter and my resting pulse readings were within a beat of each other.The app automatically calculates HR zones based on a max heart rate that you select. This allows me to set the max HR where the LED changes from green to yellow at my MAF HR and I can ease up if the LED turns yellow. I have no problem seeing the LED in most outdoor conditions, but on a very bright noon-time run I needed to shade the LED with my free hand to see it.Battery life is good for my needs. I usually run for an hour or two at a time 5 or 6 days per week and I charge the device less than once a week. On my last run, the battery went from 46 to 34 percent in 2 hours.There are a few features that could be improved to get a full 5 star rating:1 – the app would be better if you could define your own zones. The app generates zones between ~14 to ~20 bpm wide, whereas I would rather have my target zone be 10bpm or sometimes only 5bpm wide. Also, the app is a little creepy in that you need to register via email but it does synch your preferences and history over multiple devices.2 – the LED flashes too slowly, so if I’m running along and want to glance at the color, it can take 5 strides of staring at the device before the LED lights up. I would rather just glance for half a second than have to stare and wait- especially when trail running.3 – the green and yellow LED are very similar in color so they can be a bit hard to distinguish, but over time I think I’m getting better at telling them apart. The yellow looks more like a paler green to me.I think items 1 and 2 could be fixed with app and firmware updates. If Coospo fixes them, I’m happy to come back and revise the rating to 5 stars.Thanks for reading and happy exercising!

Fits the need. I work out at a fitness center and I regularly use their treadmills. They can connect to a heart rate monitor and adjust their incline based on heart rate. I got tired of holding onto the hand grips, so I got this to keep my heart rate steady at around 150 – 155 using auto incline adjustment. It does it job.Pros:+ Color codes are a quick visual reference when you’re not using the treadmill and you need to avoid dying while running.+ Connects to life fitness treadmills just fine+ Water resistant. I sweat all over this thing and it stays in place.Cons:- Color codes only give you a reference to a heart rate range. Close enough tho.- Has a hard time connecting to my phone app. Not a huge deal for me, but it might be for someone else.- I would rather this be a USB c charger instead of a magnetic, two prong charger. I understand why it’s not tho.Other thoughts:I’m a military member and use their life fitness treadmills. This Works like a champ.

Company Stands Behind Their Product. I purchased the Coospo heart rate monitor in June and immediately synced it with my Wahoo Bolt. I had lots of previous experience with the agar in chest strap and the Wahoo arm band so I can compare my experience with those products.The Coospo immediately connected via Bluetooth with no need to attempt it multiple times. Battery time was advertised at 18 hours but I can attest to 10 hours on some longer rides.From June to late August this heart rate monitor was so dependable I just tended to forget about past challenges with other finicky monitors when the decide suddenly stopped working. I would press the connect button and would just see the red LED flash at me. My guess was either it stopped charging or just wasn’t connecting anymore.I contacted Coospo literally yesterday and after a few emails back and forth the company seemed as baffled as I about why it stopped working. Without any argument, Coospo asked if I would like a refund or a replacement device. I had such good luck with the device initially that I chose a replacement. The folks at Coospo asked me to video the setup and some of the initial uses this time around so they could monitor it. That also gave me some peace of mind.Sure – I could have rated them lower because the device quit working but the true test of a good product and company is that when something breaks they fix it – outside the 30 warranty period. I am pretty confident the first failure is just a fluke and am willing to match the positive support from Coospo with faith from my end.
