Title: Powr Labs Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap, great so far!
Review: Saw in another review that they had success after installing Myworkouts app. Just received the HRM today, installed Myworkouts and now have it functioning. Wasn't sure my cheap ($30) LG Rebel 3 L18VL Android phone supported Bluetooth LE, which seems to be required, according to Myworkouts. A Google search revealed I could install a little free utility that would find out. So, I downloaded and installed and ran BLE Checker, which said it did. Finally found the Setting to add a Bluetooth LE device in Myworkouts and I was set, after the basic configuration, which was simple and intuitive. I'm running a trial workout right now, lying in bed with my laptop. Assuming this HRM is accurate, it's all I could ask for, and the myworkouts app seems great. Gonna give this a trial run on my road bike tomorrow!This uses cheap replaceable CR2032 3 volt batteries, which I always have on hand.This thing is much smaller than I anticipated, which is good. It's comfortable, I've been wearing it about 2 hours.I turned off battery optimizations for the Myworkouts app in android settings, at the suggestion of the app, so that things don't get strange or fail altogether if the phone's screen turns off or battery levels get below any threshold. All my other apps will optimize battery drainage but I don't want that to happen for this. I want it to work perfectly no matter what.Edit next day: First day using while actually exercising. Road bike to and from gym, 5 miles each way, also kept Myworkouts app running in the gym. Worked great. Until I receive a bracket I ordered from China (!), I'm using a small bungee to hold my phone to handlebars, which works acceptably. Had no trouble reading my HR with this setup during my bike rides. I'm loving it! Had great rides and I was very pleased to know the answer to the question that I'd had in my head for months, "I wonder what my heart rate is right now" while riding to/from my gym.Edit a few months later: The battery died already. I couldn't find a contact for Powr Labs and so I posted at their Facebook page, trying to avail myself of their 2 year battery replacement offer. That was several weeks ago and as far as I know, they did not respond. Anyway, I'd bought 15 CR2032 batteries a while ago, so I'm good.Edit2 a couple years later: Still using MyWorkOuts Android app. I'm finding that the CR2032 battery lasts perhaps a year in my almost daily 1 hour plus workouts. When I take off the strap I unfasten one of the two snap connectors and set the strap aside, refasten that snap connector when putting the strap on for the next workout. I figure that ensures that the electronics of the HR monitor are getting nothing like a signal and that this will make the battery last longer. Just before putting the strap on when starting a workout I get a drop of water on my index finger and wipe it on the back of the strap where it will pick up my heart beat. I saw this recommended and I think it helps ensure that the sensor gets a solid continuous signal. Maybe 2-3 times out of my now nearly 1000 uses have I found that the signal was lost when I checked out my app post-workout. That's pretty high reliability. When that happens it could signal need for a new battery, or it could be inadequate contact at your breast bone. A bit of moisture there helps ensure that the monitor picks up your heart beat.

Title: Works really well and good value!
Review: I am replacing a Wahoo chest strap heart rate monitor, where the door for the battery broke after a very short time. This one seems like a better design overall, more robust. The heart rate monitor itself seems quite accurate. I'm using the monitor during Cardiac Rehab sessions, where my heart rate is being tracked during exercise with an actual medical system with EKG pads in addition to the Power Labs strap, showing just how accurate this strap is. The data from the EKG and this strap were/are exactly the same, changing at exactly the same time with no latency. Identical! And the tracking is very granular. Even shows missed beats in my heart rate which others did not do.

Title: Works Great! I would tell others to purchase this item !
Review: I really like to see my progress with my heart rate as I workout. I downloaded the Free app on my iPhone that is named Polar Beat, and it synched perfect with the heart rate monitor. I use this app because it has so many different exercise to choose from; ie , weight training, running, walking, running on the treadmill, biking, cycling, etc, etc.One tip, make sure you kinda soak for 30 seconds the strap where the sensor is at. Do remove the heart rate monitor though! The strap needs to be wet, for the connect to occur. I submerge in the sink with water just the part of the sensor area, not the whole strap. You might have to un-sync the app, and reconnect, and that is okay. Other than that , it works like a beauty! really like it! I can see how many calories I am burning and get a lot of data and see my progress. I would totally tell others to purchase this heart rate monitor to others. =)

Title: Works with Apple Watch
Review: I have been using this the last 2 weeks with my Apple Watch Ultra and the results have been good. I have been surprised that this HRM shows my HR 4 beats higher than my watch, both in zone 5 and zone 2. I am assuming the chest strap is more accurate than the watch. I like the instant feedback of heart rate versus every 5 seconds on the watch. My first use did disconnect from my watch but has not since. I have been on hour long bike rides since and it has not disconnected. Works great for the price.

Title: Awesome
Review: I love my garmin watch- but it fails to track my HR consistently while cycling. This defeats the purpose of all the other features the system has to predict workouts etc. This heart rate monitor is super accurate, easy to use, and syncs seamlessly with my watch. Stoked!

Title: Beware of battery
Review: I purchased 2 of these devices approximately 1 year ago. I bought one for both my wife and myself. I ended up using mine, she didn't.Very finicky from the start connecting to my garmin device or samsung phone, but I worked through those issues.As a result, I didn't routinely worry when the device wouldn't connect. Finally when it wouldn't connect during 2 successive workouts, I switched to the unused device and opened the non- functioning device after I finished working out.The attached image is of the battery from the one I'd used for about 9 months. The leaking from the battery destroyed the device itself. I cleaned the inside and installed a new battery, the device will not respond, assume it is destroyed.Lesson here, either don't buy this or check battery regularly if you experience problems despite the vendor's claims that the batteries will last beyond a year.Buyer beware!

Review: Update After 2 Years:2 years after purchasing this, it is still working fine for the most part. Although I always moisten the contact points before a ride, there are still occasions when I get an obviously faulty reading on my Garmin head unit for a period of time, but it usually corrects after a while. Battery life has been good and the strap remains comfortable. Since it has now lasted significantly longer than my previous Garmin HRM, I"m still very happy with the purchase.Original ReviewI bought this to replace a Garmin Dual HRM that had been causing signal dropouts intermittently when out on longer rides; nothing seemed to work to fix the problem. The POWR LABS unit is as comfortable as the Garmin. One big plus for this HRM is that you don't need a special screwdriver to take out tiny screws in order to replace the battery. Pairing with the head unit and my Garmin watch was easy. I have used it on a couple of rides and I had no signal failures, so it's working fine - so far. HR readings were about what I expected so it seems to be accurate. It will remain to be seen how reliable it is, and what the battery life is, in the long run, but if it lasts it is excellent value for the money, about half the cost of the Garmin HRM.

Review: Funktioniert wie erwartet. Zuverlässig und schnell. Das koppeln mit der Garmin war kein Problem. Seit dem passiert alles automatisch. Gurt anziehen, Lauftraining auf der Garmin starten, Gurt wird sofort erkannt und als Herzfrequenzmesser ausgewählt, los gehtâs. Steht meiner Meinung nach den teuereren Gurten in nichts nach. Erst recht nicht für den Preis! AuÃerdem ist toll, dass man ein ganzes Jahr Batterien zugesichert bekommt, falls man doch etwas mehr Sport machen sollte. Top.

Review: Tengo casi un mes usándola, y la verdad es que se nota la diferencia en las mediciones comparado con el applewatch, se configura muy fácil, no ha sufrido desconexiones, en mi caso la conexión la hago directamente al reloj, y de ahi se pasa toda la información a la app "Fitness" del iPhone.
