Garmin Elastic strap for Heart Rate Monitor replacement, Standard Packaging

Good purchase

works fine and is cheap. apparently there are different sizes, so double check that. if this strap had been any smaller it would have been close to not fitting.

The original strap lasted for years of service. The three replacement straps on this order will last for many more years to come.

The replacement elastic strap for the heart rate monitor chest strap is exactly like the original. My original strap slowly got stretched out over more than a decade of use. I pair it with a Garmin 305 that I am still using every other day.

I was getting tired of always have to pull my old worn out strap back up even while I was just running, this solved that issue. I had used the old one for about 3 years before it started causing troubles.

I think theres a ceiling as to how good a strap can be. I mean, its a strap. Anyway, my original one was about 4 years old and I had stretched It out to its limit. This replacement is identical and is snug. Im sure it will last at least as long as the first. Good price and good product.

This is a replacement for my first Garmin fitness strap. It works! I do rinse/clean it after my workouts to prevent funky smells and hopefully increase the life of the elastic band.

Wish theyd make this same strap but with some rubberized coating on the inside of the strap to help grip against the skin so it wouldnt slide down. It doesnt do it quick, but I do a lot of endurance training, and have to readjust the strap every 30-60 minutes because it falls down.

After 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.

...I bought a spare. This strap fits the Garmin Premium Heart Rate Monitor. OEM replacement. Can not say much more than that. Last about a year of daily use for running, biking, etc before the elastic starts to peeter out.
