Great, Except it Eats Batteries. Over the last ten years or so that I’ve had an ANT+ capable GPS bike computer, I’ve used nearly every HRM strap on the market: the Wahoo TICKR X, several iterations of the Garmin Premium strap, two from Polar, the cheaper CooSpo strap, and this one.Depending on the year, I log about 10-20 hours a week on a bicycle (dipping as low as 8 but usually higher… 2020 was a rough year for motivation with no races on the calendar and everything else going on), and typically have gotten about two years out of a strap before some combination of my corrosive sweat and/or design problems (the TICKR strap seems to like to self destruct due to how the snaps are affixed in the module) ultimately destroys it. During the cooler months, a great deal of this time is on a trainer (which definitely affects how much sweat the straps are exposed to).After destroying yet another Garmin premium strap, I decided to use the other CooSpo HRM strap and it held up… for about a year before it just quit working all together. I hate to be wasteful, but it was less than a third of the price of a Garmin strap so I thought I’d replace it with its bigger brother, the model I’m reviewing here.It’s been about three months since I started using the strap and as far as functionality and fit goes, it’s fantastic. Only the TICKR and Polar straps have any sort of LED indicator to let you know that the device is connected and the CooSpo strap even beeps audibly when it starts up or shuts down.The strap itself, aside from the sensor module, is well made and fits just as well as any of its competition. I would say that the Garmin Premium strap does provide slightly more comfort, but I’m so used to wearing these things that I don’t really notice the slight differences.I use my straps via ANT+ (typically with a Garmin Edge 530, but sometimes with my Garmin Fenix watch) when outdoors and via Bluetooth when indoors (smart trainer with Zwift).I live in a dense urban area in a high rise apartment complex and interference is always a problem (make sure you set up your router to avoid using upper channels in the 2.4 Ghz band if you’re using ANT+) and I will say that I’ve not had to toggle between ANT+ (dongle) and Bluetooth anymore while using this strap.If that was where my experience ended, I’d say this was a fantastic product.However, it seems to eat batteries at an alarming rate.CR2032 batteries, sadly, are Lithium-Ion and while they can be recycled (at a proper facility: electronics stores usually have bins for them) I hate going through more than two a year (across power meters and HRM straps). With almost every other strap, I may replace the battery once or twice a year. Even counting for off weeks, let’s call that around 300 hours (or less than 52 x 10 because I don’t know precisely) per battery (power meters, at least the ones I’ve owned from Stages, Quarq, and Pioneer seem to be more frugal… but I don’t really track those numbers).The CooSpo strap in question has gone through three batteries since I started using it. Three. That’s roughly one a month. The battery it shipped with, which I held no high hopes for, lasted but two weeks before the unit wouldn’t wake up (and yes I tried re-inserting and resetting it per the manual… which is a bit lacking in content, but that’s neither here nor there). After replacing it, I thought that perhaps disconnecting (un-snapping completely) the sensor module when not in use, I might get more life out of a battery (I have noticed that the “shut off sound” doesn’t always happen in a timely fashion when it’s still connected to a sopping wet strap). I may have gotten a bit more life from batteries, but I’ve replaced it three times now.It’s a good strap. It’s a good deal. But for me, the incredibly short battery life is very problematic. I suspect that the sleep/wake loop must be in-efficient (drawing too much current when not in use) or I have a defective unit. Since the last replacement, not only do I remove the unit, but I remove the battery between uses.If you don’t mind going to those lengths (or if I got a dud), then it’s a great deal and offers features only found in straps that cost three times or more. I have never used the CooSpo apps (some users might, though some of them don’t seem to have English text options) and strictly use it for cycling, so take that for what it’s worth.

Perfect for my needs; simple to use and easy to connect. I’ve been struggling to decide what to write up about the Coospo Heart Rate Monitor because I couldn’t find the time to test it out well with any of the recommended apps. I’ve been using it for about four months now and on a near-daily basis and finally figured I’d put down my thoughts on it regardless of not having used any other apps besides connecting it to my NordicTrack 2450 Treadmill. It quickly and immediately was recognized by my treadmill. It very accurately allows the treadmill to adjust my workouts based on my heart rate, and is a marvelous way to optimize my workouts and maximize the health benefits I’m getting from my treadmill. I compared the continuous heart rate readings provided by the Coospo monitor with the information provided by my Amazon Halo monitor and they are always within one or two heart beats apart from each other, but mostly the exact same. So that tells me that both the Halo and this Coospo monitor are spot-on accurate at low to very high heart rates. My resting heart rate is around 60 and my max heart rate is around 170; in all instances and throughout this range, the Coospo has functioned flawlessly.Just for grins, I tried installing a couple of the recommended apps included in the instructions, as well as a couple of highly rated apps from the Android store and, quite frankly, while I mostly had no issues setting them up, I really didn’t find a need for having any other apps. I also didn’t like that they were intrusive and nearly always asked you to set up an account, login ID, password, etc. I have enough accounts and passwords already that I didn’t need anything else. I’m going to stick to just using it for running and walking on my treadmill. If I should decide to go running outside (it’s hot here in Arizona) again, I’ll reinstall Map My Run and try that out.Battery Life: The battery lasted just over three months, which worked out to be about 100 to 120 hours of total use. I noticed that a few times the Coospo monitor failed to connect right away with my treadmill so I figured it was time to try a new battery. Maybe the battery that came with the monitor wasn’t good, but in any case, I find it hard to accept their 300 hour battery life claim. Just make sure you dry the strap and disconnect the monitor from the strap to preclude having the monitor automatically turning itself off, which would run down the battery. This, plus not having a low battery indicator (at least I couldn’t find it in the instructions) was why I downgraded it one star. It’s a great monitor, just wish it had a better way of monitoring the battery life. Oh, PS You can buy 4 to 6 name brand (Energizer, Duracell) batteries for about $5 on Amazon. So if you do the math, it’ll cost you about $5 a year for batteries…not bad for something that does a good job tracking your heartbeat.

Accurate heart rate, good value, failed after 11 months. The Coospo heart rate monitor does what it advertises for the first eleven months. It provides an accurate heart rate that is updated every second or two, and it is fairly comfortable to wear. Compared to the competition, it offers good value for your money.I bought this because my cheap sports watch provided a heart rate that was wildly inaccurate. Now I can get an accurate heart rate while running, and train via high intensity interval training.I haven’t had an issue with wearing the band. When I put it on, it beeps twice, indicating that it is working. After the initial 2 beeps, it doesn’t make any additional sounds. Be sure to apply a few drops of water on the electrodes on the band before wearing.I tried several free sports apps, and settled on Sports Tracker. This app provides all the details I need while I’m running, and then afterwards with a graph of heart rate.Update: Had an issue with the battery. I used the monitor twice over a one week period for about 2 hours, and after a week, the battery was dead. (It was reading 2.97 volts, when a new battery was reading 3.27 volts). So I tried separating the monitor from the strap, hoping this will shut off the monitor and not drain the battery. Will update later. If separating the monitor from the strap when done exercising solves the issue, then I’ll be satisfied.Update 2: After changing the battery 3 times, checking voltages, etc, I just can’t get the unit to work. It won’t beep twice when I put it on. It worked great for eleven months, but has now failed. Oh well, it worked great for eleven months.
Surprisingly high quality for a bargain brand. It’s a fantastic device, works as described and pretty much flawlessly for me. Worth noting is that the contacts on the strap side facing your body need to be damp each time you put it on and that you should be disconnecting it from the chest strap whenever not in use to save batteries.I’ve been using it 3-4 times a week for a couple months now and it always works – a satisfying little beep to let you know that it picked up the signal and off I go. The accuracy appears to be good and it seems very fast, not more than a moment latent to the effort I’m putting in, which is what I would expect.It automatically pairs with my trainer and my bike computer (read: iPhone + cadence app) without incident and automatically disconnects when disconnected from the chest strap.The strap is well made, comfortable to wear and simple to attach. There’s a little break in period where the button connection is stiff when attaching the device to the strap but regular use makes that issue go away. The user experience is excellent for such a simple device and far more than I expected. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one in the future and I will probably buy another chest strap to have for those times when the one it came with is in the wash.

WORKS, BUT AFFECS THE CALORIE DATA ON MY COOSPO BIKE COMPUTER. I ‘m using this HR monitor with a COOSPO BC200 bike computer. It set up easily and appeared to nearly match results from a Fitbit Charge 3. However, during rides on which I’d forgotten to wear the HR monitor I noticed that the calorie totals displayed on my bike computer were very different than on days with the monitor. I had years of Fitbit riding data to compare with the COOSPO BC200 computer, and the calorie values were in general agreement (without wearing the COOSPO heart monitor). Whenever I wear it the calorie value totals on my bike computer nearly double! The HR itself looks normal. The “calories burned” data is less important to me – but it offers one more measurement of effort, and now I can’t use it.
It was working …. Update- the company quickly replaced my sensor and so far with two workouts it’s been working well! Will update if it stops again.It worked for maybe 3-4 workouts. I tried. To remove batteries after each workout to enhance battery life and then today it wasn’t working- I replaced batteries and nothing. I made sure the sensors were wet and placed properly and it won’t turn on. Very disappointing as it was working well for the first couple workouts.
Battery life. I think the auto shut off when you take it off stopped working because after about 25 to 30 uses or 6 months it stopped working so I replaced the battery but it did not even last 3 times of 1 to 2 hour uses. Too bad it worked well but only for a few months.Updating my review. after talking with the company they are sending me a new monitor so they are very quick to fix problem’s
Great product and support. This heart rate monitor worked flawlessly for almost a year, using it 2-4 times a week. Connects fast to my devices and very accurate too. I had a few issues and reached out to customer support and they were fantastic and resolved the issue quickly. Definitely worth the purchase!
Best budget HR monitor period. I ride hundreds of miles a week and this little unit has kept up. It beeps to let me know it’s ready and when I take it off to let me know it disconnected. I had an issue with the battery cover and customer service was AMAZING. I have tried expensive HR monitors but they have all failed in one way or another (not making them worth the money). This unit keeps on rocking’. Thank you coospo. I’m a fan.
Device works well. I purchased this device to use compared to a fitbit wrist watch. I was hoping to gather more accurate heart rate data while exercising. I had a few issues the first go around making sure it was sending data to my coospo bicycle computer. I was disappointed at first, buy my mind was changed by their excellent customer service!! They actually responded to me in a matter of hours. I tried it a few more times ( 14 mile bike ride and a 41 mile bike ride) and it works just as advertised. They turned me into a believer and would definitely recommend the product to other users!!
Customer service. I found the heart monitor to be comfortable, accurate, and attractively priced. I didn’t expect the customer service I received when the monitor stoped working after 11 months. I emailed the company and received a prompt reply with the promise to send a replacement.
Works great. I purchased this band initially over a year ago and it has worked great. Only had to buy another because my pesky spouse moved the monitor to a spot he “couldnt forget” and it is now lost. Luckily though, the price for this monitor is so affordable, yet still has quality too. Far more accurate readings than my watch ever gave me. Easy to clean. The battery seems to last for a long time as long as you remember to disconnect the monitor from the band right after you are done working out. The battery will not last nearly as long if you do not do this. On rare occasions I notice it had moments in my workout that it couldnt get a reading, but I really think this had more to do with interference from the band of my sports bra than an issue with the product itself. And this only happens maybe 1 out of 15-20 workouts. The app is okay, though I prefer my Sports Tracker app, which will still sync with this monitor. Overall, I am a very pleased customer and will continue coming back to this product if I ever need another one in the future.

Battery Life is the downfall of this device. I’ve had another lower tier coospoo heart rate strap for 4 or 5 years and that one has been flawless, although it does look a little bulky. So when my 349023th Wahoo HR strap failed I decided to go back to my old favorite, CooSpoo, and try this!At first glance, it’s perfect! Looks cool, works perfectly, gives you an audible beep when ever you put it on or take it off, it’s accurate, no dropouts.. it’s pretty great!At least that’s what I thought, but the unit is so friggin sensitive that it often still thinks its on your body and therefor keeps draining battery long after you’ve taken it off. So, it might kill the battery in a day or two if you’re not careful. I did eventually wise up to the fact that I needed to disconnect the actual electronic bit at one of the snap points when not in use… but dare I forget to do this once then I should expect a dead device next time I put it on.This has been so frustrating that I ripped the HR strap off and threw it in a bush on a ride yesterday. I went back 12 hours later with hopes of picking it back up… but it was gone and I can’t say I’m too bummed about it. I’m rating this as 1 star because I cannot ignore the fact that this thing keeps chewing battery life for hours after you take the thing off. I want to like CooSpoo and I may try them for other products in the future, but this HR is a no go from me.
Garmin and Wahoo killer. Went through two Garmin Dual-HRM monitors and a Wahoo monitor before buying this one.This fits on the heart rate strap that comes with the Garmin Dual-HRM unit.The beeping function on the unit is excellent, as you know when it turns on and turns off (Garmin FAILS in this, as you have no idea if the unit is on unless it starts showing your heart rate. With the Garmin unit, if it doesn’t show your heartrate, you don’t know if the battery is dead, or it’s a connectivity issue, leading to a frustrating experience troubleshooting).The beeping function alone on this unit makes this a proper replacement for any other “name brand” unit (an HRM is not a complicated device, the technology behind them is straightforward and simple).Easy to replace the battery on it (no need for the tiny little torx driver that Garmin includes on their dual model).Very accurate, as compared to while using a smart watch using optical readings (within one beat of each other).Buy if you are looking to replace Garmin/Wahoo/name brand unit as this is cheaper and has more functionality.
Great, Except it Eats Batteries. Over the last ten years or so that I’ve had an ANT+ capable GPS bike computer, I’ve used nearly every HRM strap on the market: the Wahoo TICKR X, several iterations of the Garmin Premium strap, two from Polar, the cheaper CooSpo strap, and this one.Depending on the year, I log about 10-20 hours a week on a bicycle (dipping as low as 8 but usually higher… 2020 was a rough year for motivation with no races on the calendar and everything else going on), and typically have gotten about two years out of a strap before some combination of my corrosive sweat and/or design problems (the TICKR strap seems to like to self destruct due to how the snaps are affixed in the module) ultimately destroys it. During the cooler months, a great deal of this time is on a trainer (which definitely affects how much sweat the straps are exposed to).After destroying yet another Garmin premium strap, I decided to use the other CooSpo HRM strap and it held up… for about a year before it just quit working all together. I hate to be wasteful, but it was less than a third of the price of a Garmin strap so I thought I’d replace it with its bigger brother, the model I’m reviewing here.It’s been about three months since I started using the strap and as far as functionality and fit goes, it’s fantastic. Only the TICKR and Polar straps have any sort of LED indicator to let you know that the device is connected and the CooSpo strap even beeps audibly when it starts up or shuts down.The strap itself, aside from the sensor module, is well made and fits just as well as any of its competition. I would say that the Garmin Premium strap does provide slightly more comfort, but I’m so used to wearing these things that I don’t really notice the slight differences.I use my straps via ANT+ (typically with a Garmin Edge 530, but sometimes with my Garmin Fenix watch) when outdoors and via Bluetooth when indoors (smart trainer with Zwift).I live in a dense urban area in a high rise apartment complex and interference is always a problem (make sure you set up your router to avoid using upper channels in the 2.4 Ghz band if you’re using ANT+) and I will say that I’ve not had to toggle between ANT+ (dongle) and Bluetooth anymore while using this strap.If that was where my experience ended, I’d say this was a fantastic product.However, it seems to eat batteries at an alarming rate.CR2032 batteries, sadly, are Lithium-Ion and while they can be recycled (at a proper facility: electronics stores usually have bins for them) I hate going through more than two a year (across power meters and HRM straps). With almost every other strap, I may replace the battery once or twice a year. Even counting for off weeks, let’s call that around 300 hours (or less than 52 x 10 because I don’t know precisely) per battery (power meters, at least the ones I’ve owned from Stages, Quarq, and Pioneer seem to be more frugal… but I don’t really track those numbers).The CooSpo strap in question has gone through three batteries since I started using it. Three. That’s roughly one a month. The battery it shipped with, which I held no high hopes for, lasted but two weeks before the unit wouldn’t wake up (and yes I tried re-inserting and resetting it per the manual… which is a bit lacking in content, but that’s neither here nor there). After replacing it, I thought that perhaps disconnecting (un-snapping completely) the sensor module when not in use, I might get more life out of a battery (I have noticed that the “shut off sound” doesn’t always happen in a timely fashion when it’s still connected to a sopping wet strap). I may have gotten a bit more life from batteries, but I’ve replaced it three times now.It’s a good strap. It’s a good deal. But for me, the incredibly short battery life is very problematic. I suspect that the sleep/wake loop must be in-efficient (drawing too much current when not in use) or I have a defective unit. Since the last replacement, not only do I remove the unit, but I remove the battery between uses.If you don’t mind going to those lengths (or if I got a dud), then it’s a great deal and offers features only found in straps that cost three times or more. I have never used the CooSpo apps (some users might, though some of them don’t seem to have English text options) and strictly use it for cycling, so take that for what it’s worth.

Perfect for my needs; simple to use and easy to connect. I’ve been struggling to decide what to write up about the Coospo Heart Rate Monitor because I couldn’t find the time to test it out well with any of the recommended apps. I’ve been using it for about four months now and on a near-daily basis and finally figured I’d put down my thoughts on it regardless of not having used any other apps besides connecting it to my NordicTrack 2450 Treadmill. It quickly and immediately was recognized by my treadmill. It very accurately allows the treadmill to adjust my workouts based on my heart rate, and is a marvelous way to optimize my workouts and maximize the health benefits I’m getting from my treadmill. I compared the continuous heart rate readings provided by the Coospo monitor with the information provided by my Amazon Halo monitor and they are always within one or two heart beats apart from each other, but mostly the exact same. So that tells me that both the Halo and this Coospo monitor are spot-on accurate at low to very high heart rates. My resting heart rate is around 60 and my max heart rate is around 170; in all instances and throughout this range, the Coospo has functioned flawlessly.Just for grins, I tried installing a couple of the recommended apps included in the instructions, as well as a couple of highly rated apps from the Android store and, quite frankly, while I mostly had no issues setting them up, I really didn’t find a need for having any other apps. I also didn’t like that they were intrusive and nearly always asked you to set up an account, login ID, password, etc. I have enough accounts and passwords already that I didn’t need anything else. I’m going to stick to just using it for running and walking on my treadmill. If I should decide to go running outside (it’s hot here in Arizona) again, I’ll reinstall Map My Run and try that out.Battery Life: The battery lasted just over three months, which worked out to be about 100 to 120 hours of total use. I noticed that a few times the Coospo monitor failed to connect right away with my treadmill so I figured it was time to try a new battery. Maybe the battery that came with the monitor wasn’t good, but in any case, I find it hard to accept their 300 hour battery life claim. Just make sure you dry the strap and disconnect the monitor from the strap to preclude having the monitor automatically turning itself off, which would run down the battery. This, plus not having a low battery indicator (at least I couldn’t find it in the instructions) was why I downgraded it one star. It’s a great monitor, just wish it had a better way of monitoring the battery life. Oh, PS You can buy 4 to 6 name brand (Energizer, Duracell) batteries for about $5 on Amazon. So if you do the math, it’ll cost you about $5 a year for batteries…not bad for something that does a good job tracking your heartbeat.

Accurate heart rate, good value, failed after 11 months. The Coospo heart rate monitor does what it advertises for the first eleven months. It provides an accurate heart rate that is updated every second or two, and it is fairly comfortable to wear. Compared to the competition, it offers good value for your money.I bought this because my cheap sports watch provided a heart rate that was wildly inaccurate. Now I can get an accurate heart rate while running, and train via high intensity interval training.I haven’t had an issue with wearing the band. When I put it on, it beeps twice, indicating that it is working. After the initial 2 beeps, it doesn’t make any additional sounds. Be sure to apply a few drops of water on the electrodes on the band before wearing.I tried several free sports apps, and settled on Sports Tracker. This app provides all the details I need while I’m running, and then afterwards with a graph of heart rate.Update: Had an issue with the battery. I used the monitor twice over a one week period for about 2 hours, and after a week, the battery was dead. (It was reading 2.97 volts, when a new battery was reading 3.27 volts). So I tried separating the monitor from the strap, hoping this will shut off the monitor and not drain the battery. Will update later. If separating the monitor from the strap when done exercising solves the issue, then I’ll be satisfied.Update 2: After changing the battery 3 times, checking voltages, etc, I just can’t get the unit to work. It won’t beep twice when I put it on. It worked great for eleven months, but has now failed. Oh well, it worked great for eleven months.
Surprisingly high quality for a bargain brand. It’s a fantastic device, works as described and pretty much flawlessly for me. Worth noting is that the contacts on the strap side facing your body need to be damp each time you put it on and that you should be disconnecting it from the chest strap whenever not in use to save batteries.I’ve been using it 3-4 times a week for a couple months now and it always works – a satisfying little beep to let you know that it picked up the signal and off I go. The accuracy appears to be good and it seems very fast, not more than a moment latent to the effort I’m putting in, which is what I would expect.It automatically pairs with my trainer and my bike computer (read: iPhone + cadence app) without incident and automatically disconnects when disconnected from the chest strap.The strap is well made, comfortable to wear and simple to attach. There’s a little break in period where the button connection is stiff when attaching the device to the strap but regular use makes that issue go away. The user experience is excellent for such a simple device and far more than I expected. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one in the future and I will probably buy another chest strap to have for those times when the one it came with is in the wash.

WORKS, BUT AFFECS THE CALORIE DATA ON MY COOSPO BIKE COMPUTER. I ‘m using this HR monitor with a COOSPO BC200 bike computer. It set up easily and appeared to nearly match results from a Fitbit Charge 3. However, during rides on which I’d forgotten to wear the HR monitor I noticed that the calorie totals displayed on my bike computer were very different than on days with the monitor. I had years of Fitbit riding data to compare with the COOSPO BC200 computer, and the calorie values were in general agreement (without wearing the COOSPO heart monitor). Whenever I wear it the calorie value totals on my bike computer nearly double! The HR itself looks normal. The “calories burned” data is less important to me – but it offers one more measurement of effort, and now I can’t use it.
It was working …. Update- the company quickly replaced my sensor and so far with two workouts it’s been working well! Will update if it stops again.It worked for maybe 3-4 workouts. I tried. To remove batteries after each workout to enhance battery life and then today it wasn’t working- I replaced batteries and nothing. I made sure the sensors were wet and placed properly and it won’t turn on. Very disappointing as it was working well for the first couple workouts.
Battery life. I think the auto shut off when you take it off stopped working because after about 25 to 30 uses or 6 months it stopped working so I replaced the battery but it did not even last 3 times of 1 to 2 hour uses. Too bad it worked well but only for a few months.Updating my review. after talking with the company they are sending me a new monitor so they are very quick to fix problem’s
Great product and support. This heart rate monitor worked flawlessly for almost a year, using it 2-4 times a week. Connects fast to my devices and very accurate too. I had a few issues and reached out to customer support and they were fantastic and resolved the issue quickly. Definitely worth the purchase!
Best budget HR monitor period. I ride hundreds of miles a week and this little unit has kept up. It beeps to let me know it’s ready and when I take it off to let me know it disconnected. I had an issue with the battery cover and customer service was AMAZING. I have tried expensive HR monitors but they have all failed in one way or another (not making them worth the money). This unit keeps on rocking’. Thank you coospo. I’m a fan.
Device works well. I purchased this device to use compared to a fitbit wrist watch. I was hoping to gather more accurate heart rate data while exercising. I had a few issues the first go around making sure it was sending data to my coospo bicycle computer. I was disappointed at first, buy my mind was changed by their excellent customer service!! They actually responded to me in a matter of hours. I tried it a few more times ( 14 mile bike ride and a 41 mile bike ride) and it works just as advertised. They turned me into a believer and would definitely recommend the product to other users!!
Customer service. I found the heart monitor to be comfortable, accurate, and attractively priced. I didn’t expect the customer service I received when the monitor stoped working after 11 months. I emailed the company and received a prompt reply with the promise to send a replacement.
Works great. I purchased this band initially over a year ago and it has worked great. Only had to buy another because my pesky spouse moved the monitor to a spot he “couldnt forget” and it is now lost. Luckily though, the price for this monitor is so affordable, yet still has quality too. Far more accurate readings than my watch ever gave me. Easy to clean. The battery seems to last for a long time as long as you remember to disconnect the monitor from the band right after you are done working out. The battery will not last nearly as long if you do not do this. On rare occasions I notice it had moments in my workout that it couldnt get a reading, but I really think this had more to do with interference from the band of my sports bra than an issue with the product itself. And this only happens maybe 1 out of 15-20 workouts. The app is okay, though I prefer my Sports Tracker app, which will still sync with this monitor. Overall, I am a very pleased customer and will continue coming back to this product if I ever need another one in the future.

Battery Life is the downfall of this device. I’ve had another lower tier coospoo heart rate strap for 4 or 5 years and that one has been flawless, although it does look a little bulky. So when my 349023th Wahoo HR strap failed I decided to go back to my old favorite, CooSpoo, and try this!At first glance, it’s perfect! Looks cool, works perfectly, gives you an audible beep when ever you put it on or take it off, it’s accurate, no dropouts.. it’s pretty great!At least that’s what I thought, but the unit is so friggin sensitive that it often still thinks its on your body and therefor keeps draining battery long after you’ve taken it off. So, it might kill the battery in a day or two if you’re not careful. I did eventually wise up to the fact that I needed to disconnect the actual electronic bit at one of the snap points when not in use… but dare I forget to do this once then I should expect a dead device next time I put it on.This has been so frustrating that I ripped the HR strap off and threw it in a bush on a ride yesterday. I went back 12 hours later with hopes of picking it back up… but it was gone and I can’t say I’m too bummed about it. I’m rating this as 1 star because I cannot ignore the fact that this thing keeps chewing battery life for hours after you take the thing off. I want to like CooSpoo and I may try them for other products in the future, but this HR is a no go from me.
lo he regresado por encontrar otro a mejor precio, pero puedo decir que este modelo de pulsometro funciona perfectamente y se siente de calidad
Garmin and Wahoo killer. Went through two Garmin Dual-HRM monitors and a Wahoo monitor before buying this one.This fits on the heart rate strap that comes with the Garmin Dual-HRM unit.The beeping function on the unit is excellent, as you know when it turns on and turns off (Garmin FAILS in this, as you have no idea if the unit is on unless it starts showing your heart rate. With the Garmin unit, if it doesn’t show your heartrate, you don’t know if the battery is dead, or it’s a connectivity issue, leading to a frustrating experience troubleshooting).The beeping function alone on this unit makes this a proper replacement for any other “name brand” unit (an HRM is not a complicated device, the technology behind them is straightforward and simple).Easy to replace the battery on it (no need for the tiny little torx driver that Garmin includes on their dual model).Very accurate, as compared to while using a smart watch using optical readings (within one beat of each other).Buy if you are looking to replace Garmin/Wahoo/name brand unit as this is cheaper and has more functionality.
Great Cheap Option. Works great, connects easily and stays connected. Works on my bike computer and Zwift
