Garmin Elastic strap for Heart Rate Monitor replacement, Standard Packaging

Loved that I just needed this new strap (and a new battery) to be able to use the wireless heart monitor that came with the Octane Fitness Q45 Elliptical that I had not used in 10 years. Though a different brand than my Octane Fitness monitor, this Garmin strap fit very well. Also, the elastic, while not quite as tightly woven as I might have preferred, should provide at least a few years of service which, given the higher cost of purchasing a whole new monitor, is well worth the $!5 investment.

Wish theyd make this same strap but with some rubberized coating on the inside of the strap to help grip against the skin so it wouldnt slide down. It doesnt do it quick, but I do a lot of endurance training, and have to readjust the strap every 30-60 minutes because it falls down.

This is my third strap in six years. Cant complain about its durability since it gets a lot of use when Im training. I just rinse it in tap water after every run or bike then hang to dry.

When I left my elastic strap behind in a hotel room I just assumed I could drop by any sporting goods store and pick up another one....wrong. I found this on line. Perfect! I highly recommend that you buy more than one. It allows you to wash out the strap and still have a clean dry spare. Or if youre like me and leave one behind somewhere you dont have to wait while you order another one.

After 4 years of using my garmin 305, my HRM strap just wouldnt stay put. It would move often and within a few minutes, always ended up on my abdomen. I looked at the strap and it was as curly as bacon, and not as tasty. There was no elasticity left! I ordered a new strap and my HRM was back in business. It was very easy to put the new strap on and comparing the new strap to the old, it was obvious that I needed a replacement. And kudos to garmin for keeping the expensive HRM separate from the elastic strap, making it relatively inexpensive to replace the strap. My only dissapointment with the product is that it does indeed wear out and need to be replaced. I learned that I got a bit more time out of my strap than most, but it would be nice to have a superior product which lasts longer.

Got them as replacement for mine HR monitor and it works like a chram.

Very good product! It is definitely a good replacememt to my old one. In my case, my heart strap was from another brand called Oregon Scientific and it fits perfectly.

Just needed a replacement strap for my timex HRM. It works well enough for that although I had to use my dremel to shave off the sides a little. Understandable since it wasnt made for timex :) I am 38 at my ribcage and this works well enough with tons of room to spare.

Perfect. Its an exact replacement for my old one. I think the Ant+ heart rate monitors are far better than all the bluetooth ones out there now...mostly because they are smaller and the batteries last forever. Anyway, this strap made my HRM just like new again!
