Heart Rate Monitor USA Replacement Soft Strap (Works with Polar & Garmin Transmitters) (XS/SM)

Ok, the first thing you may say is, "it doesn't say it will work with WAHOO." However, and this is important, this same strap did work with WAHOO a year ago. I purchased this a year ago for my 11 year old. It worked great. This summer he lost his strap. So, I got online and ordered the exact same strap (even told me I had purchased it already) using BUY AGAIN. The spacing of the snaps is just a tad off. The WAHOO clicks in place but it is not a solid SNAP. Within minutes of riding the transmitter pops off. It keeps popping off. I tried everything to get it to solidly snap in place and it pops out with the slightest movement. I didn't want to ding the source with a bad review. The produced worked GREAT when it was compatible with WAHOO and GARMIN. So, the ACCURACY , COMFORT and VALUE were real. When I purchased as a replacement the description changed (I didn't notice) to only address POLAR. Hopefully, anyone that thinks that snaps look the same needs to be aware that this will NOT WORK with WAHOO or GARMIN. Wish it did because this offers the smallest chest size around.

I've gone through about 3 Garmin straps and one Motoactv strap. I end up changing the batteries in each about every 6 months. The straps seem to last about a year--there's a point where even after changing the battery, the strap is worn out to the point where it doesn't read my HR consistently and I'll see drops or spikes. I ordered this one and snapped one of my Garmin transmitters on. It's the one that came with the soft strap and it fits perfectly. I'm 5'1" and about 108 lbs and I ordered the XS/S. It looked tiny but adjusts to fit me well. I find it relatively comfortable also--the Motoactv strap had the metal piece to adjust it on the left side and it always dug into me. This one has that piece but somehow its placement works better for me. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now. My Motoactv watch picks up the signal much faster with this strap than it did with any of the others. The HR data is good--no spikes or drops--and it works consistently well thus far. I'm assuming I'll have to change the transmitter battery in 6 months like always, and if this strap lasts a year like the others, I'll be happy, especially considering how much cheaper it is. I will update the post once I know how long it lasts.

The product worked great for the first few months and then stopped working. I tried getting a refund or replacement but was told that it is "outside the refund window". The guarantee was only for 30 days and the product stopped working after 3 months.

Works with my Garmin HR monitor. Looks like it will not last as the original. I did not notice that it comes in sizes, small will barely fit me but it is usable. A little uncomfortable. Good value, I will buy another one when this fails.

Where the stitching is to close the strap it's so sharp I had to put paper tape on it to stop it from digging into my skin. Also the hook closure is not comfortable at all. But it's half the cost of a polar strap so... Decide which is more important to you. Cost or comfort. If it's cost, buy it. If it's comfort, order the polar strap.
