Accurate device and Excellent customer service
I purchased the device to accurately monitor my heart rate during long distance running using the Maffetone method. I also borrowed a chest strap and used it simultaneously to check for accuracy and my HR was always very close around 3bpm difference compared to the chest strap, but 15 to 20 bpm difference compared to my Garmin wrist watch HR sensor. It usually easily connects with my android phone or smartwatch. However after 4 months use the device stopped working. I contacted the company, who were very supportive and sent me a replacement within 3 days, with minimal fuss. I use the device 4 -5 times a week and 6 months have elapsed and it continues to perform well. Perhaps my initial purchase was a dud, but I would recommend.

Really good - especially for ladies!
Bought this as most HR monitors sit in an uncomfortable place for ladies! This sits on the lower arm just below the elbow, strap is adjustable so it is very comfortable and I have paired it to my Peloton with no issues at all. I find it to be very accurate and it glows different colours so you can tell your zones while you’re working out rather than check them on your phone later. It doesn’t have an app to link it to which it seems to suggest it does (or if it does I can’t find it) but it more than does the job and is a really decent price too

Stop working under a year …..
Used the unit about 15/20 times and on a whole works very well. However, i have charged the unit and all the light indications show it to be fully charged. The unit doesn’t turn on anymore. I have checked everything I can to get it to work, nothing works. I have emailed the company and had absolutely no response. IF I WERE YOU I WOULD INVEST A BIT MORE AND BUY FROM A SUPPLIER WHO WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THERE PRODUCTS. There is also no availability for the product to be returned to Amazon.

Easy to use, good fit.
Easy to fit. You need to link it via a 3rd party app, I used FITIV pulse. Works easily once connected. I can see myself using it in preference to my chest strap hrm. As another use, it helps with my tennis elbow as the strap fits well and doesn't stretch. Comfort level is good I've forgotten I was wearing it a couple of times. It didn't restrict fore arm muscles when doing circuit training either. Would recommend to friends.

Works well with Strava. Easy to use, light and robust.
I wanted to add heart rate figures to Strava and didn't want a chest strap. This fits on the upper lower arm so you get an accurate reading but it's not intrusive. Looks good, works well, good price.

Heart Rate Monitor
It is a good product but does not seem to be compatible with my Garmin. Finally got it paired with Strava. I was going to return it but will see how it monitors me whilst I train today and what information it provides. It may still get retuned.

Works perfectly with Peloton, great armband HR monitor
So far so good. Had this HR monitor for a few days, I just wanted a HR monitor to connect to my Peloton. I was sick of the chest strap version and wanted an easy armband one that was ANT+ compatible. Used this one a few times it connects instantly and hasn’t faltered yet. The armband sits on my forearm. There’s no screen so you can’t see your HR unless it’s connected to something like the bike. It does flash different colours depending on what HR zone you’re in.

Super Compatible, accurate and easy to use
Bought this to replace my Chest Heart Rate monitor and found it way better in ease of connectivity and accuracy at almost half the price. I use it with Fitness Apps during my HIIT routines and it works brilliantly. Connects automatically and maintains stable connection throughout the exercise & its always within a few pulses from the the heart rate data from my Apple watch 6 series.

Perfekt geeignet für PELOTON Bike+
Benutze den Heart Rate Monitor in Verbindung mit meinem Peloton Bike+.Nach der einmaligen Bluetooth-Kopplung erkennt das Bike das Tool binnen einer Sekunde automatisch.Keine Abbrüche. Tut was es soll. Absolut top!Tragekomfort ist auch optimal (am Unterarm kurz vor dem Ellenbogengelenk). Man spürt den Monitor aufgrund des geringen Gewichts so gut wie gar nicht.Klare Kaufempfehlung

Accurate & works perfectly with Peloton
What a great, reliable and accurate heart rate monitor for my Peloton bike ! It always connects quickly and has maintained stable connection on several sessions.Battery keeps going even after a couple of weeks and I love the five colours for different heart rate zones to check my heart rate w/o a phone. Great buy, highly recommended.

Klein, leicht, präzise
Ich verwende seit vielen Jahren einen Bluetooh-Brustgurt, um mein Cardio-Training. BT3.X war damals "State oft he Art", doch das Rad dreht sich weiter. Zeit für ein Upgrade. Ich probiere das VorTec ANT Bluetooh Armband für knapp 43 Euro.Das Armband kommt in einer recht schlicht wirkenden Plastikverpackung an. Drinnen findet Ihr: Den Sensor, das Klettarmband und – in einer kleinen Mustertüte – den Ladeadapter und eine englisch-sprachige Anleitung.Alle Komponenten sind sauber verarbeitet und machen einen stabilen Eindruck. Das Band haftet gut, ist aber etwas kurz geraten. Bei meinen Spaghetti-Oberarmen wird es eng, am Unterarm gibt es keine Probleme. An beiden Stellen war die Messung problemlos sofort möglich. Der Sensor hat eine Taste zum Einschalten und Pairing. Der Sensor selbst sitzt auf der Rückseite. Außerdem gibt es zwei Kontakte für den Ladeadapter. Der kommt in Form eines passenden USB-Spezialkabels das mittels eines Magneten problemlos haftet.Vor der Nutzung steht das Laden, da der Akku mit nur 90 mAh nicht wirklich groß ist. Dafür bleibt der Sensor wunderbar leicht. Leichter als eine Smart-Watch und eine normale Armbanduhr. Die Ladung wird durch eine grüne LED angezeigt, die nachdem der Akku voll ist erlischt.Für den Betrieb muss der Sensor mit dem Smartphone gekoppelt werden. Dazu braucht das Smartphone mindestens Bluetooh 4.0 und das muss aktiviert sein. Ein Druck auf den Knopf des Sensors und kurze Zeit später können Smartphone und Sensor "verheiratet" werden.Ich habe den Sensor bei drei Einheiten mit der Fitness-App eines großen deutschen Anbieters probiert. Nachdem der alte Sensor aus dieser App gelöscht/entkoppelt war, war die Kopplung problemlos möglich und erfolgreich. Eine parallele Messung mit dem "Original-Zubehör" der App und einer Überprüfung mit einem digitalen Blutdruck-Pulsmesser ergab, dass die ermittelten Werte +/- 1-2 Schlägen gleich waren.Fazit: Klein, leicht und problemlos bedien- und koppelbar. Das das VorTec ANT Bluetooh Armband für knapp 43 Euro macht was es soll. Top Teil!Danke für Ihr Interesse an meiner Rezension.

Works great with Tonal
Works great! Connected first time to my Tonal and reconnects automatically each time I use it. Heart rate appears on the Tonal screen and updates continuously. Great addition to my home gym. I wear it on my forearm, easy to get in place, not restrictive, and stays in place during excersices.
