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

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.

Stopped charging, BUT customer support was excellent, and they sent a NEW Unit. After a couple of months, the unit died and wouldn’t charge, BUT their customer support team was right on it. Seeing my initial one-star review, they immediately contacted me and sent me a new unit.I was so impressed. Just by pointing this out in a review here, not even sending them a message, they immediately got a hold of me and took care of the issue.I am a longtime Amazon shopper and don’t think I’ve ever had that faster resolution or that level of excellent support, especially for a lower-priced item.Kudos to their support team!
