> 3 dayIts a strap. Cheaper than a new HRM. Not sure what else to say about it -- you know if you need one. Having a spare strap is also a good idea in case the other one is still damp. The battery on the new Garmin straps lasts forever, and the plastic sensor piece washes easily and seems immune to wear. The strap, however, loses elasticity or gets crumpled in places. Easy enough to replace, and the price for a new one is quite reasonable. (Garmin isnt usually known for inexpensive accessories, but this is the exception.)

> 3 dayJust 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.

> 3 dayThese let you replace just the part of the chest strap that eventually wears out without having to purchase an expensive new Garmin strap. These, plus new batteries, have kept my strap going for years of nearly daily use.

> 3 dayLoved that I just needed this new strap (and a new battery) to be able to use the wireless heart monitor that came with the Octane Fitness Q45 Elliptical that I had not used in 10 years. Though a different brand than my Octane Fitness monitor, this Garmin strap fit very well. Also, the elastic, while not quite as tightly woven as I might have preferred, should provide at least a few years of service which, given the higher cost of purchasing a whole new monitor, is well worth the $!5 investment.

Greater than one weekAfter eight years my original band was running out of adjustment. This one appears to be an exact replacement for that.

> 3 dayUnfortunately, this strap slides down my body to belly button when I sweat. I am small, 106 lbs, I have tried stuffing it under my bra line but it wont stay. I have tried 2 of them thinking the first one just got stretched out but it still wont stay. My husband has no problem and uses his each time he runs.

> 3 dayAfter 4 years of using my garmin 305, my HRM strap just wouldnt stay put. It would move often and within a few minutes, always ended up on my abdomen. I looked at the strap and it was as curly as bacon, and not as tasty. There was no elasticity left! I ordered a new strap and my HRM was back in business. It was very easy to put the new strap on and comparing the new strap to the old, it was obvious that I needed a replacement. And kudos to garmin for keeping the expensive HRM separate from the elastic strap, making it relatively inexpensive to replace the strap. My only dissapointment with the product is that it does indeed wear out and need to be replaced. I learned that I got a bit more time out of my strap than most, but it would be nice to have a superior product which lasts longer.
