moofit HR8 Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap, Low Energy Real-Time Heart Rate Data, Bluetooth 5.0/ANT+, Larger Communication Range, IP67 Waterproof, Compatible with iOS/Android Apps, Fitness Equipment, Black

Bought this as my watch was cadence locking. Works perfectly with my Garmin - after the first time I put the strap on, set the watch to record a session and within seconds they are paired. I also set wrist heart rate off just to double check source. Only tested against my watch so can’t comment on compatibility with phone etc. Perfectly comfortable and doesn’t move if fitted well. It’s just simple slide mechanism to adjust the length with infinite possibilities No idea on battery life as that’s supposed to be a year. Heart rate detected can be a little off for first mile if you don’t soak it eg are putting it on at an even, but after that seems fine and steady readings appearing on my watch. Do check exactly where you’re wearing the strap to get steady readings. If they are peaking quickly it’s not where it should be.

At £21 this was the cheapest monitor on Amazon, and seems to work fine. It was no problem connecting to the Polar app (I haven't tried any others). There seems to be a lot of generic branded monitors (or the same monitor sold under different brands) so may as well buy the cheapest as I expect they're all good. I want to use this for BJJ and I can imagine any device getting damaged accidentally, so am pleased to see that this can replace the £70 basic Polar brand at a fraction of the cost, the app doesn't care any difference at all. It's also rounded so it's less likely to snag or scratch. It turns itself on when worn (must sense connection across the electrodes) and does seem to go to sleep when taken off as it isn't visible for bluetooth pairing any more, but there's no LED or other indication that it's on which some more expensive monitors have. I will update this review if it breaks/packs up, so if I haven't done that then assume it's still going strong!

Initially a very good product. Connects to my laptop via Bluetooth and works with Zwift and MyWhoosh. However after 7-8 months of use only on the turbo it became slower and more temperamental to connect until it now doesn't read at all... Changing the battery, washing the strap, cleaning the contact points and still not able to connect. Tried emailing customer support but no reply. I would not buy again.

An inexpensive but reliable heart rate monitor that does everything much more expensive brands can do without the premium price tag. Connects via Bluetooth or ANT+ to my concept 2 rowing machine and I’ve used it in the gym with a variety of cardio equipment, too. Compatible with all the usual phone apps (Polar etc). The chest strap is comfortable and adjusts for size, but do moisten the sensors before use for the best connection.

So far trouble free and a quick connection to my garmin automatically (via Ext. HR monitor in settings on the watch, not garmin connect). Overrides the HR on the watch which is brilliant for static cycling. I found the garmin watch doesn’t record HR properly if your wrist is bent against a handlebar for example. Returned garmin chest strap as annoying intermittent connection. This moofit works fine. Strap could be better quality but it’s a strap. Comfortable enough for duration of exercise. Battery life is less than garmin but it’s just a cr2032 so easy to replace too.

The HR8 heart rate monitor has been used constantly and the battery is still going strong. It’s comfortable, stays in place on the chest, and connects easily to my phone. I’d recommend reading the manual, especially about wetting the silicon part that touches your skin to help it stick better. The monitor provides accurate readings, feels good quality, and offers excellent value. I’d definitely recommend it.

worked a few times then stopped connecting with phone.

Works as expected, no trouble with connecting and has worked with multiple apps for me. It's an easy fit and you don't know you're wearing it. Battery life is great too as I've not needed to replace the battery in over two years so far.

Reçu rapidement. Capteur cardiaque excellent. Il suffit de le clipser sur la ceinture thoracique puis de mettre celle-ci sur soi sans oublier d'humidifier les électrodes qui touchent la peau, ensuite activer l'appareil en bluetooth sur le smartphone. J'ai choisi "Polar beat" comme application, c'est nickel, j'ai le suivi cardiaque en direct lors de mon activité sportive. Je fais du vélo d'appartement et au départ j'avais pris une montre connectée Xiaomi, c'était nul, le suivi cardiaque ne fonctionnait pas sans doute à cause de la sueur. Ce capteur ci fonctionne à merveille, voir la photo ci-jointe d'un graphique après une scéance de vélo d'appart.

Ottimo dopo mesi di utilizzo fa il suo lavoro ...collegato con garmin Explorer 2

Works well at a reasonable price compared with more wellknown brands

I was quite cautious, because as always Amazon is full of negative reviews, same here, but I thought for the price I should give it a shot. HR Monitior didn't want to work at first, until I realised the battery was inserted the wrong way round, probably to save it before delivery, so I flipped it and it instantly connected to Zwift on my iPad Pro and to my Schwinn IC8. Tested it for about two minutes, seems to be more accurate, than my FitBit Versa 3, but I didn't check for accuracy with my pulse and a clock, so I can't tell if it's very accurate or not. May update this report once I really used it for a ride, or if it breaks within the first two years. Besides that, 20 bucks more or less, works, what do you want more? Update: tried it out for the first ride with zwift, worked very consistently without loosing connection once, did a workout over 40k in an hour, average HR was 6bpm above fitbit versa 3, max HR 185 from this monitor vs. 167 from fitbit. My guts tell me this monitor is more accurate, the workout felt more like the measurements from this one, than what the fitbit says.

Fonctionne très bien, facile à coupler
