Garmin Elastic strap for Heart Rate Monitor replacement, Standard Packaging

On time delivery. New as advertised. But, not worth 5 stars for a small item like this. I would never give it a 5. Not because its not right, but because it is nor worth getting that excited about.

Its a strap. Cheaper than a new HRM. Not sure what else to say about it -- you know if you need one. Having a spare strap is also a good idea in case the other one is still damp. The battery on the new Garmin straps lasts forever, and the plastic sensor piece washes easily and seems immune to wear. The strap, however, loses elasticity or gets crumpled in places. Easy enough to replace, and the price for a new one is quite reasonable. (Garmin isnt usually known for inexpensive accessories, but this is the exception.)

Product works well. Like the original strap.

Pros: Sensible, ergonomic latch Nice Adjustability Range Comfortable Affordable Cons: Elastic wore out after a couple of years and had to replace it

Thus works great. I lost my Omron strap (but not the heart monitor), and this fit perfectly. The strap seems to high quality, and certainly is durable. The material is thick (but not too thick)---it is not flimsy.

Nice product, works like the original and has a nice price. Thanks for shipping very quickly and in a very nice package.

This Heart Rate Monitor is great and much more reliable than Garmins newer Soft Strap (P/N: HRM2-SS). I have had nothing but trouble with the Soft Strap: readings erratically ramping up, then dropping way down, the cutting in and out, etc. But, this heart rate monitor is more durable and consistent. Additionally, the battery is much easier to change out, as with the Soft Strap you have to remove 4 small screws to do so: you have to have a very small Phillips head screw driver, and if youre not careful you could easily lose one of the tiny screws. I just dont understand why Garmin had to change to this type of battery compartment, as it is a step backwards in design.

This is my third strap in about a dozen years. The elastic strap slowly stretches longer over time.

This is a replacement because elastic wore out in previous strap. But they last at least 5 years.

Perfect Garmin match...NO sensor included!
