Garmin Elastic strap for Heart Rate Monitor replacement, Standard Packaging

Just needed a replacement strap for my timex HRM. It works well enough for that although I had to use my dremel to shave off the sides a little. Understandable since it wasnt made for timex :) I am 38 at my ribcage and this works well enough with tons of room to spare.

Awesome that we can replace just the strap when its worn out!

excelente

Fits perfect to replace my worn and stretched out original strap.

very good

After a few years, these bands lose their elasticity and really... just get nasty from all the sweat no matter how much you rinse it off. New band fit my HRM perfectly, and no more slipping down to my stomach while biking.

Theres nothing much to say about this, as its just like the original that came with the monitor. I like the fact that its softer than the Polar straps are, as its more comfortable. Granted, these dont seem to hold up as long as the Polar ones do, but they are so reasonably priced that its no big deal, assuming youre paying the roughly $8 that I usually do.

I actually took a chance with this strap knowing it was for a Garmin. My TIMEX HRM had a similar-looking strap and I thought it might work as a replacement. Well, it was pretty darn close and it actually fits well. The Timex HRM was the model 1440 Sports which Ive had for years.

I seem to go through these bands about once a year. For whatever reason the elastic stretches and after tightening up to the smallest setting I am forced to replace the strap. They perform well, however I would like them to last a little longer.
