CooSpoH6 Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap Bluetooth 4.0 ANT+ IP67 Chest Heart Rate Sensor for Peloton Polar DDP Yoga Map My Ride Garmin Sports Watches

Too good to be true? Although this is inexpensive it works like a charm. It connects to my smart trainer faster than my Garmin HRM Dual strap. That battery is easier to access than the Garmin. I did have an issue with the pod after 3 months but Coospo quickly honored the one year warranty and sent me a new item. Following recommendations in other reviews I do unclip the pod after use to extend the battery life but I do that anyway to wash the strap. This has worked so well for my needs that I bought another to give as a gift.

I bought this monitor after I came back to streaming, since I play a lot of horror games, I thought it would be fun to show my audience how scared i really do get!I use Pulsoid app with this monitor for my gaming, this monitor works great with the app, accurate & in real time. it fits snug just below where a bra strap would be or just below or on your sternum, BUT I could not wear this comfortably with a bra, Im sure someone can, but I cannot, it feels like a bra strap all by itself LOL, however once you are use to wearing it regularly for whatever you use it for, you adjust to it & it's not bad, i can wear it comfortably for up to 4-5 hours at a time usually 3 days a week if i am playing mostly horror games (other games as well)& *for my fellow ladies, I recommend a sports bra if you have/need to wear one!setting up with Pulsoid is super quick and easy! First I would secure on my body & then open the Pulsoid app, wait a second for the monitor to appear *soon as it reads a heart beat it will go live* & soon as it no longer detects a heart beat the monitor shuts off, I have had it several months now w/o battery issues.only downside is if you are sweaty even a little bit, it may start to have reading issues as it will slip as you move, &as a gamer.. this can and will happen! I imagine the same would happen in a workout session, so be sure it's snug but not too tight, if it's too tight it wont read very well, if it's too loose it wont read very well. but in time you'll find that "just right" spot & shouldn't have any issues at all, ( I also imagine if you're working out it may move less/have less reading issues if you're standing, since I sit when I game it can move a little more easier if you are sweaty or if it is too loose. )It's lightweight, mostly comfortable, has an adjustable strap that is fairly easy to work with, you secure it by sliding the looped end to a "hook" & no problem of it detaching on its own whatsoever. A great budget friendly device for streaming & workouts, or if you simply want to monitor your heart rate! check out Pulsoid app! -not a sponsor :)

Honestly, I wish I could give a great review for this product. I really wanted to like the thing. The first time I connected the device to my phone though an tracking app it seemed to work pretty well. It seemed a little slow on the update, but still pretty tolerable.The only problem is that this is my second CooSpo purchase and I have been sorely disappointed each time. But since I am reviewing the chest strap device, I will keep my opinions to only this item.So as you can see, I am not a fan of Coospo. The heart rate monitor after a brief usage time failed on me. I would not pair back to my app. When I put the device on, the app and my phone find it, but the pairing times out. I thought maybe it was a bad battery. Okay, that happens sometimes. Not every battery ever made has a bajillion hours of usage out of the gate, especially if the item sat on a shelf for a while. Batteries do stale. I replaced the battery with a brand new lithium CR2032 and tried again. Nope, it wouldn't pair.One thing that did surprise me though was that there was no contact barrier between the battery and the device. No cardboard piece, no chunk of plastic, or even a super thin plastic strip sticking out the side as I have seen in other products.So if you want try it out, maybe your luck will be better than mine, but for me, I will not spare a few dollars. I will buy quality, which the current movers and shakers of the HRM biz is Polar and Garmin, with Wahoo catching up fast. Wahoo, by the way, is an American company based out of Atlanta, and Polar is out of Salt Lake City, Utah, and Garmin is Swiss. CooSpo? When CooSpo is as Chinese as it gets, as this product comes right out of Shenzhen.Good luck.

Just received this today and I wasn't sure if it would work or not. I have a nordictrack x22i and I read mixed reviews about it connecting to ifit on nordictrack. Some say it connects while others say it does not. For me if I go into my account settings and then Bluetooth it takes a while for this heart rate monitor to show up but eventually it does show up. Then getting it to connect is pretty slow. I would have to click on connect a few times before it actually connected. Once it connected, it stayed connected throughout my workout.Then my wife tried using it and it wouldn't connect for her. She started a workout and then went into Bluetooth accessories. Heart rate monitor is visible but after clicking connect multiple times and it failing time after time I then stopped her workout and connected by going into settings then Bluetooth and I think it was third or fourth attempt at connecting it's finally connected. With her the heart rate was WAY off. On me it was accurate, on her it wasn't even close. I will try this out a few times more and update this review.***Update. I came back to add a star! After using it a bit more, over a week actually, it has connected without any issues. Not only is it connecting faster but it's been pretty accurate too. I'm pretty happy with it at this point and if it doesn't fall apart I would buy it again. My only concern is the buttons on the band. It doesn't seem like it's reinforced much so I wonder if the buttons will tear off over time. I'm using it several times throughout the day so if buttons tear I will be back hear with an update. If there is no update it's safe to assume it's holding strong with no issues.
