Garmin Elastic strap for Heart Rate Monitor replacement, Standard Packaging

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

Exact replacement for the hard HRM sending unit, which I prefer over the soft-strap version. Its packaging did have the insert prong bent sharp, and it still is. Normal method of taking it feels like its going to break it, so have to push prong from behind to get it started out.

This is a replacement because elastic wore out in previous strap. But they last at least 5 years.

The OEM strap made 8 years, at least. This one didn’t make 2 with less average monthly use. Not impressed at the quality. Would not recommend

This is replacement strap for my garmin heartrate monitor, after original one wore out after couple of years. Frankly, not much to review here, its a simple product - it just does what it was purchased for - keeps the HRM on my chest.

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

My other Garmin spandex strap I use with my old 305 forerunner had stretched out and I needed a replacement. Adjustable, fits great and a nice price.

This is Garmin that appeared, from the online pics, to match the same strap used with my Sear Accurate TM heart monitor, and optional purchase for my 15+ year old Stride-Flex Treadmill. So i took a small gamble an ordered it to replace my current strap that has lost all its elasticity in recent years. It proved to be a perfect match to the original, and was delivered super fast.

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.

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.
