Heart Rate Monitor Replacement Chest Strap Fits for Polar H9 H7 Wahoo Tickr Garmin Hrm Chest Belt, Waterproof Adjustable Size

Better than Garmin. More comfortable and easier to adjust.

I have a Polar H7 and H10 there is another LIVLOV listing on Amazon, I was hoping this was different and maybe was compatible. No it is the same and just barely will not fit on any Polar sensor.

Good band,recommended

I replaced my 2 year old Garmin chest strap with this after I started getting really wacky readings while cycling on Zwift. I checked the strap with a multimeter and found that the strap was the most likely culprit. Rather than spring for OEM or buy a whole new unit I figured I would give this a try. I am about 10 rides in so I cant speak for longevity, but it has seemingly fixed the issue. If/when it stops working I will come back to this review and notate.

The description on Amazon for this for this Livlov branded strap was (is?) "Heart Rate Monitor Replacement Chest Strap Fits for Polar H9". I sorted by price low - high and wanted next day delivery so picked this one. I did not realize it was not Polar band until I received it. I believe the description is misleading.I have a 3 year old Polar H9. Three days ago it started reading around 80 BPM when based on power and speed my heartrate should have been 140. An Internet search indicated that the problem could be either the battery or the strap. I had a spare battery, but ordered this strap just in case. I changed the battery AND took the Livlov strap with me to the Kenosha Velodrome where I heavily depend on heart rate. With the new battery but the old Polar strap the H9 worked intermittently which was poorer than before. I changed to the Livlov strap and my heartrate readings were correct. (Good thing! It alerted me I was at 169 BPM and my max is 170.)Long review to report that lifetime of a Polar strap is around 3 years. Also that the Livlov works initially but I have no idea of how long. A Polar branded strap was $33.53 on Amazon so I saved about $20 which will be a good deal if it lasts 3 years but a wash if if fails in a year.

Using this with a Garmin HRM. This is the second aftermarket (non-Garmin) strap that I've used with this HRM transmitter, it works great. No issues at all. I'm a cyclist, I ride 3-4 days per week, 3-4 hours per ride. Been using this strap for several months, if it was going to fail in some way, it would have by now, but it's still as-new. Every few weeks I unsnap the HRM transmitter and wash the strap in a bowl of warm soapy water, then rinse well to get off the sweat and grunge. No issues, after it's dry it continues to work perfectly. It looks identical to the one that it replaced, if it is the same, that one lasted over 5 years of heavy use. Recommend.

I’ve been using this HRM for about 2 months. It gives frequent no reads. I wear it 24 hours/day, works outs, yard work, etc. Batteries are changed frequently. Previous Polar and other brand HRMs, in my experience, did not create the frequent no-read voids that this hrm has been generating.

Do not buy. It loosens easily.
