  1. Nice review! I get horrible chaffing on my chest from the strap during ultras. So I am glad there is a good alternative and I‘ll go ahead and order one of these. I hesitated on buying the Polar one (bad experience with Polar) so I’m glad Coros released this.

  3. Having trouble holding a connection between my Coros Armband HRM and my Garmin watch. It connects, it says it connects, but then if I check my Garmin watch 5 minutes later it either says disconnected or reconnecting. Does anyone know how to resolve this? The armband is great, but I'm hoping I don't have to replace my Garmin watch with a Coros watch.

  4. Does this work as a standalone HR monitor with the app? Like I want to use this for Muay Thai, but I don’t want to wear anything else on my wrist or body. I want this to substitute for my Apple Watch. Will this track my HR without any other device connectivity?

  7. Where to buy?
    Amazon doesn’t have it.
    The three running shops in the Pasadena/Monrovia area doesn’t carry it, even while they sell Coros watches.

  9. Prepared Good information.. Please let me know can i run with this optical heart rate sensor stand alone(without watch),if yes then how i will start and stop the run and get data on Coros mobile app.?

  10. Greetings from Malaysia! Thank you for your in depth review. I have a question, whats the size of the strap? Is it 22mm or 24mm?

  11. This is great! It’s definitely eliminates some of the issues female runners have positioning a chest strap around a sports bra.

  13. Nice job dude! Over 10k subscribers too. Man… pro level now. That’s awesome! Great review too. I hate chest straps and their constriction and $80 isn’t bad either. I suppose it works with Garmin if Bluetooth.

  15. Might there be chaffing on the torso or the arm from the strap? Is the material super smooth or a little coarse?

  16. What if wear watches on same place with this new HRM? (like use some extended band or similar)

  17. Oddly I found the same thing with downhill on coros. Not even running, just hiking. It's always baffled me, as it happens even if the watch is tight and under a sleeve. There's no way it's cadence lock either, as I don't hike downhill at anywhere near the kind of high bpm it was showing.

    Chest strap for me. I find you ultimately get used to them, but these arm ones like this and the polar verity seem like good options for people who really don't want to – or people who wear bras especially.

  19. Always down to see what products are coming out and how they stack up! Great review.

  20. Great review Steven. I've been loving my Coros though have found heart rate to be a bit off here and there so good to see they've brought this out, hadn't heard about this before, thanks for sharing ?
