Nice review! I get horrible chaffing on my chest from the strap during ultras. So I am glad there is a good alternative and I‘ll go ahead and order one of these. I hesitated on buying the Polar one (bad experience with Polar) so I’m glad Coros released this.
I have the coros heart rate monitor with a Garmin forunner 965 and it’s a verry good match. I try the coros with Samsung healt on my Phone and use the wrist heart rate on my forerunner just for fun and the coros win.
Great review Steven. I've been loving my Coros though have found heart rate to be a bit off here and there so good to see they've brought this out, hadn't heard about this before, thanks for sharing 👍
Nice job dude! Over 10k subscribers too. Man… pro level now. That’s awesome! Great review too. I hate chest straps and their constriction and $80 isn’t bad either. I suppose it works with Garmin if Bluetooth.
Oddly I found the same thing with downhill on coros. Not even running, just hiking. It's always baffled me, as it happens even if the watch is tight and under a sleeve. There's no way it's cadence lock either, as I don't hike downhill at anywhere near the kind of high bpm it was showing. Chest strap for me. I find you ultimately get used to them, but these arm ones like this and the polar verity seem like good options for people who really don't want to - or people who wear bras especially.
Yeah it’s really odd. I wear my watch very tight. I don’t recall having the downhill issue with my APEX Pro, or even the APEX 46mm. Just the newer watch. Yeah the arm band is a great option!
How can you be sure that the Arm HRM is more accurate than the Apex 2 Pro? It's because the way you wear the Apex 2 Pro is incorrect. I compared both of them, and they are 99% similar.
I love seeing the data between multiple devices to see how this compares to the other devices. What program do you use to overlap all the heart rate data so they are on the same graph?
Hi ! Thanks for the great review. Does it always need to be paired with the watch? Or can it record your hr without one and check the data later on the app? The reason I ask is because, in addition to running, I also play beach volleyball and can’t wear my Pace 3 but still would like track my hr during game. Thanks! I hope to hear from you!
Yes, the HR monitor must be paired to your watch to record data. It doesn’t have any internal storage. If you can keep your pace 3 close by, it may stay connected and record.
Prepared Good information.. Please let me know can i run with this optical heart rate sensor stand alone(without watch),if yes then how i will start and stop the run and get data on Coros mobile app.?
Hello Steven , I just wanted to know if you could wear this band on your wrist or it’s too loose , I’m thinking about buying one , but I’m comfortable wearing it on wrist , help me please .
Does this work as a standalone HR monitor with the app? Like I want to use this for Muay Thai, but I don’t want to wear anything else on my wrist or body. I want this to substitute for my Apple Watch. Will this track my HR without any other device connectivity?
People do this with apple devices and woop bands [edit, corrected Wahoo to woop]. So it would probably work, but obviously it gets a lot harder to view your data in real time.
@@UltraTrailSteven your have many coros watches, so you can try, just to understand if it's new hrm band so good, or just depends on position where to wear watches.
The material is super smooth. I found I have to keep the pieces used to tighten the band on the upper or outer arm so it doesn’t rub my torso. The only negative is that since you wear it near the armpit, the band gets stinky
Having trouble holding a connection between my Coros Armband HRM and my Garmin watch. It connects, it says it connects, but then if I check my Garmin watch 5 minutes later it either says disconnected or reconnecting. Does anyone know how to resolve this? The armband is great, but I'm hoping I don't have to replace my Garmin watch with a Coros watch.
