Garmin Heart Rate Strap vs Chinese Heart Rate Strap

My last heart rate strap had a bad connection so it stop working after about 1 year and this is second one I have replaced from Garmin. This time I took a chance and purchased one from China to see if it would work. The garmin one cost $35.00 + shippingand the one from China cost $5.00 and free shipping. I tested the one from china and it works perfectly. I will keep you updated how long it for for.

I also bought the Chinese strap and it does work OK. 2 months without problems 4-5 days a week.

Hi, I'm glad you shared your thoughts about this Chinese option and would like to hear if it lasts after a couple months of regular use.

Sorry missed your question. It worked for 7 months and stop. Please note that I use it every day for riding, so I expect to replace one each year.

Hi, thanks for your video. When you commented that it stopped working after 7 months, have you tried troubleshooting it the usual way like changing the batteries? Or is it a case that whatever you tried doesn't help? Thanks : )
