Very easy to set-up and use, paired immediately with my Garmin 820 head unit. Properly tensioned with the strap, stays perfectly in place for longer (3+ hrs.) rides. Sensor also snaps off and back on super-easy when washing or cleaning the strap. Haven't had long enough to speak for battery life, but should be a long time.

I've been using my Garmin watch for years to track heart rate but finally decided to try a dedicated monitor. It's way more accurate when compared to the watch and got used to the feeling after a couple rides. I don't even notice it anymore. After you pair it the first time it just works every time.

No longer do I have to record my heart rate data on separately on a wahoo app and then subsequently download it to Strava or struggle to with computability issues when using Zwift. This is simple and easy- no problems so far with Zwift or Strava. The savings in battery costs alone makes this a better choice than my prior Wahoo tckr. So far I am completely satisfied with this product.

As indicated below, I'm a cycling enthusiast. I use it with both my road and hybrid bikes. I've been using Garmin products now for over a decade, and I plan to continue using them as long as I continue riding. I especially like the Connect software that displays additional data regarding every ride on my cell phone. Some of the Connect information is redundant, but most of it is not and it's useful to track training and improvement.

I had older monitors, but they weren't reliable, maybe the technology, maybe their age. This monitor has worked flawlessly and make me feel confident in it's numbers.

I had a Wahoo HRM that I used for a few years but was not accurate or consistent. I would constantly have readings that were way off the chart. The Garmin just flat out works. It's dependable and comfortable to wear. I get consistent, accurate readings and never have to question what's going on. Highly recommend.

My last heart rate monitor (same unit) lasted a year possibly two, but not 3.5. And like all HRM's I've ever used this model does not allow you to replace the battery when it's depleted because it never works, which means you need to toss the whole unit every year or two and start again.

I use this heart monitor when on group rides. Typically 50 mile rides. The strap is easy to put on and very comfortable. Pairing it to Edge 810 was easy. I like the easy slip on clasp. It is comfortable to the point that during the rides I forget that I have it on.

Initially I was going to buy the one that is made for swimming. For running/cycling I prefer this one, since it is slimmer.
The strap is comfortable and after couple of minutes you wont notice it. The connection to my bike computer is super fast, and very reliable.

I was frustrated trying to run different devices so that I could race on zwift with heart rate. This HR monitor is great. With the Bluetooth technology, I no longer have to worry about an ANT+ stick adding to the complexity, I can attach the monitor and my trainer to my iPad! Perfect setup.

I use it for mountain biking and road/gravel. It works well, even in 20-degree temps. I like keeping an eye on my HR since my HR is too high. This makes it easy, and is accurate. It is comfortable too.
Review by Shilpa
Great! Put it together and connected with my Garmin 810 right outta the box. Comes with full battery, and has been working reliably since.

Its a comfortable strap that you wont notice once its on. 95% of the time it does exactly what youd expect. Occasionally you get drop outs where the HR is reporting numbers that are clearly not correct but its probably a few seconds before it corrects itself.

I enjoy seeing my HR and zones while on rides. Learning more about it all with every ride I complete.

Like the update and great fit
Review by geoffgg
I have both this one and the wahoo one
I like this better with how the strap connects with a Loop, the. The buttons to attach on wahoo I dont like as much, but on the wahoo it is nice it attaches right in front. The Garmin seems slightly more comfortable. But they both work fine.

This is a very comfortable and easy to use HRM. It is easy to connect to my cycling computer (Garmin 530) as well as my computer when using Zwift.
