Garmin Elastic strap for Heart Rate Monitor replacement, Standard Packaging

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!

Perfect fit to an old pulse band. Surprised!

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.

Perfect replacement for the original strap which I used for at least 5 years and had gotten totally stretched out.

The elastic on the strap that came with my 305 died off after a couple of years. At first, I had to tighten it a little occasionally - then pretty soon I was tightening it a little more every time and it would still fall down. This one is just like the original and fits the HR strap - tada! no more HR strap around my waist. My main advice would be not to struggle with the old crappy elastic for months - just go for it. If youre here already and reading reviews, youve realized you can replace the strap - youre nearly there.

Works great, perfect fit, I would order this again as it is an exact match, just like OEM. Replaces original equipment.

Life sucks when your strap gives out. My old strap resulted in hear rate readings taken from my ankles. Receiving a new strap is like heaven.

Replaced my old elastic strap that must have been over 10 years old. Perfect OEM replacement.

On a beautiful sunny morning, in a time long, long, ago. There lived an angry giant that enjoyed running. As the surly giant prepared for his run, he noticed that the heart rate monitor strap of his Garmin 305 was not as elastic as it once was. As he ran, the giant couldnt believe that his HRM strap was falling down his chest and this angered him greatly. Feeling eXtremely unhappy, the giant searched the land of the Internet to find a replacement. And he did find one, and it was from the kingdom of Amazon. It was also cheaper in price than the one offered by the evil Garmin. When the giant placed the new HRM strap into his HRM he saw that the strap was perfect, and this was good. Suddenly all of the giants runs were less complicated and this made the giant a Happy Giant. THE END

Fantastic product, works really well. Only great and positive things to say about Garmin! Ive used Polar in the past and there isnt any comparison!
