COOSPO Heart Rate Monitor Review: Better than Polar or Garmin?

You don't have to pay Polar or Garmin money for HR quality. The COOSPO range of Heart Rate monitors are a great alternative.

Some people use a heart rate monitor to really drill into the proper training zones and make sure they're working as effecitvely and efficiently as possible. Others just like to have the data as a reference. Either way, you need to one that works, is comfortable to wear and won't break when it gets hit repeatedly by a rowing machine handle (I'm talking to you WAHOO).

I'll say now, COOSPO sent me these to review, but that doesn't mean they bought a good review!!

(They're both amazon affiliate links)

I'll review the MyZone Switch in another video.

But seriously - just keep watching, that's all I ask!!

Don't spend a fortune on Polar or Garmin heart rate monitors. The options from Coospo are just as good!

replaced my relatively new Wahoo Tickr that lasted only 7 months. with COOSPO Heart Armband off aliexpress and it works so much better, no more dropped connections 👍 I have it just below my elbow on my forearm,

[jamesray]

Nice clear review, thanks John. I have a wahoo chest strap that seems to link well with ErgData and PM5, and I wear an Apple Watch too, but the arm strap might be worth exploring. Is there a video recording of the dramatic row where you were chased by the wasp and your stroke rate went above 60 - presumably a HIIT session?!

[hellobooom]

I have the previous version, functionality is flawless, but the battery constantly drains. Will grab this newer one.

Nice review. Can you tell what COOSPO version you tested?

[andresAtMudra]

So this is the same readings as the chest strap, but more conformable I imagine?

[balcerzaq]

Had a chest strap one - constant problems with connecting to PM5, got the Powrlab? - thanks to your reccommendation - love it

[bensugden]

I have a Coospo chest strap. It gives rock solid readings and easy connectivity, but the battery seems to drain very quickly. I think it’s not switching off after use as it gives a series of random beeps from time to time. Any tips??

[rossydv]

I’m only using stationary bike and stair climber and want something I can view my heart rate and calories on my phone with maybe a summary at the end.
Any suggestions?

[badass]

I have COOSPO 807HW but I cannot get it to pair with my watch or BSC100 bike computer. It does pair with my phone so it is not a case of it not working.

[Pappamea]

Will upper arm tattoos mess with the reading? 😳

[sunnybizz]

I just wsnt to monitor my heart live. Not connect later. Cant find a strap to connect to my phone

Does COOSPO Heart Rate Monitor work with the Coros Pace 3 ?

[laurencharltonn]

How does the HR accuracy compare to a garmin running watch?

[stephengunn]

Does the armband measure and broadcast HRV data?

[brooomvroom]

Can i connect the armband to my apple watch through bluetooth?

[KarimBilal]

Does this device give HRV readings? Thanks

[laurencharltonn]

If you connected it to a watch, do you still need to take your phone with you to get the data?

[ourwilliam]

What watches will this connect to that arent Gamin or Polar?

[MitjaBonca]

I have it for a half a year, and I don't like it. Rate jumps up and down for over 10 beats in an instant. Few days ago it was showing 30 beats over my real hear constantly (instead of 140-150, it was fluctuatinf from 155-185). CRAP of a monitor. Will go any buy Polar.
