So they are both accurate. That's all I need to hear. Cheap one it is. Thanks.

Definitely unless you want any of the cadence data etc. Does the job well, replaced my batteries on the coospo today actually

Thanks for the review, I have just ordered a COOSPO. I hope Garmin are listening, because they have lost me as a customer. I have the HRM Dual, and none of the precision screwdrivers I have fit the cover screws for changing the battery. Garmin went out of their way to make a simple task difficult. I also have the same problem you mentioned with the chest strap.

Great review. I watched this video because I was considering the cheaper one but didn't want to miss out on some thing. This is the first video I attempted to get the information from and you answered all my questions. for this, I applaud you. 👏🏼👏🏼 👍

I recently got a Moofit (the black one) HRM, which I think is a clone of of the Coospo, and it's been working fine for my needs, basically Zwift rides on my Wahoo Core trainer. It seems accurate and fits wel. I don't need anything fancy that's more like an EKG than just a HRM, just an accurate way to measure HR. The one potential negative I could see was that the strap seems a bit cheaply made and might wear out faster, but I'm guessing that a cheap replacement won't be that hard to find. To pair it and my Core with my PC I bought a cheap USB Bluetooth 5.3 adapter by Maxuni, and it too has been just fine. It cost around $10 and the Moofit around $20. I'm just a casual fitness cyclist and both are perfectly fine for my needs.

Try Magene or Cycplus who also have speed/cadence sensors

My hrm pro broke recently, so I had to buy new one and after a while I choose Chinese Magene h603 monitor. As an amateur runner I don't need all of these statistics that hrm pro gives. Chinese one is precise with heart rate as Garmin and that's what I need 😁. And what's the best about magene is that baterry replacement is very easy and fast!

Ah good pick, the magene looks very similar to the coospo but not tried it

You forgot to mention that Garmin’s strap can’t be replaced. Where’s as the others can. If you want an upgrade go for Polar H10 removable strap and onboard memory. HRM pro has running dynamics but you can buy the separate pod for that

@joost1183 Ай бұрын

Great info. I bought the cheap one. If I break It after warranty it warrants me buying a more expensive piece. Polar it is then, or a garmin watch.but I've heard those aren't actually accurate in terms of hrm's

@ruthuparnashetty5783 appreciate the comments :D good to chat this stuff to I love it! I actually come from a strength and conditioning/sports science background. So historically have done more strength work and built muscle. Now im mixing in the cardio. The balance has shifted to more swim, bike, run, with ironman 70.3 weymouth in 10 weeks time 😬 I have 3 strength sessions at the minute. Happy to share those via Instagram if you wanna see the particular sessions

@alexreader 10 ай бұрын

@asprine3310 if you connected the HR strap at the start of the run then the HR recorded and displayed will be from that strap rather than the garmins optical. It will automatically go with the strap if you have Bluetooth and everything enabled. My fenix will search for sensors when I hit run and tell me if connected

i paired my coospo with strava app and it shows heart rate nicely... But in the strava analysis section my heart rate insights are missing. Do I need coospo app to record my heart rate and then upload it to strava... Thought is would be automatic @@alexreader
