COOSPO Heart Rate Monitors Armband Optical Heart Rate Sensor Bluetooth 4.0 ANT+ Compatible with iFit Polar Strava Wahoo Garmin Peloton

Good value, easy to use
Works as advertised. Quicker, easier than a chest strap. Not quite as accurate but works for my purpose of tracking during ski erg and indoor cycling sessions

Great product and price, exceptional customer service
I’ve always worn a chest strap, but after some extreme chaffing one day I decided to give optical a go. I chose the CooSpo on the basis of good reviews and because it seemed better value for money than some of the better known devices.The product itself is excellent. Because you wear it higher up your arm (just under the elbow) than wrist-based optical devices it appears to give a more accurate and stable reading – certainly similar to my Wahoo and Garmin chest straps. It paired easily with my Garmin Fenix and iPhone. It’s more comfortable than the chest strap, although it does have to be worn fairly tight. The battery is quick to charge and lasts a long time – it held out during a 40 mile run anyway.But there is always a concern that, in the event of a problem, the customer service may not be as strong as the more well-known brands. Not in this case. I stupidly left the charger in Spain, so tried to find a replacement when I got back to the UK. Unable to, I contacted the company. Emma replied within a few hours, and after a slight mix-up (Emma looks after .com, I am .co.uk) she arranged with her colleague to send me a replacement free of charge. It arrived a few days later. Will buy their products again.

Very Poor device
Spend a few more pounds on a better product as this is frustrating to use. The strap is awful, velcro to strong to undo and strap has almost zero elasticity so awkward to put on. The device has no memory and if you move away from iphone it loses connection unknowingly and if you remember to check to see if lost connection – you need to again find in bluetooth settings to reconnect which isn’t as easy as you think. The app software is useless as cant even find the device as seems to just find wireless devices – yet this is using bluetooth? If I pair with my Bike I lose the connection to iphone – so doesnt support multiple devices. The plus is that it is rechargeable – many devices are still using batteries – but it unkown when you will need to recharge as no indicator.

Just does what it’s supposed to do.
I bought this because my expensive wahoo tickr armband that had always been problematic eventually stopped charging altogether after about 2 years) because the fiddly charger connections no longer seemed to connect (tried degreasing them but even that stopped working after a while.) This however works well.Pros:Long battery life and the charger works as expected. You feel a lot more confident about the charger clicking onto it and making a connection. The tickr was always hit and miss and you had to wait ages to find out if you’d got it lined up correctly. This just works and the red/green flashing light tells you it’s charging and when it’s stopped.Zwift found it straight away, no problem.It has a proper on/off button. The tickr didn’t.Cons: the strap is a little short. It’s ok. It fits my weedy arms with about 2cm to spare but if you have massive biceps you might find it a bit tight as you are supposed to wear it around the crook of your elbow. Ideally I’d like a little more wiggle room but it’s ok and the only minor grip I have. (The tickr also had a problematic strap in that it completly disintegrated after about 6 months and needed replacing at great expense, this one looks a lot more robust.)

Muy buen funcionamiento. Más cómodo y fácil de colocar que las bandas pectorales. Larga duración de la batería.En el teléfono, recomiendo la aplicación “Pulse Range Monitor” porque tiene alarma de altas y bajas pulsaciones (cuesta unos 5 € pero vale la pena).

Tout est dit dans le titre. Bon produit de cardio. Fonctionne avec l’application gratuite dont on a le nom avec le produit mais aussi avec d’autres appli comme Addidas par exemple. Nous avons aussi la version “torse” qui fonctionne tout aussi bien mais qui est un peu plus contraignante a l’usage.
