COOSPO Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap H808S, ANT+ BLE HR Monitor Chest, HRM IP67 Waterproof, Use for Running Cycling Gym and Other Sports

I have used it for two months and so far it has worked great.

After trying the Echo app with my Apple watch (unreliable connection, nearly random heart rates during rowing machine exercise), and a Schosche arm band monitor (unreliable readings, sometimes showing very high, inaccurate heart rates then back to normal), I got this and can report accurate readings and reasonably easy connection (after wetting the difficult-to-ID-the-first-time pads that turn on the device when in place and detect heart rate). The monitor turns off when removed from my chest - no buttons to remember to press. Bluetooth was unreliable with my rower display, but connecting via Ant+ works every time and is stable. Readings are accurate based on my own pulse rate monitoring (finger on neck). .

I've had another lower tier coospoo heart rate strap for 4 or 5 years and that one has been flawless, although it does look a little bulky. So when my 349023th Wahoo HR strap failed I decided to go back to my old favorite, CooSpoo, and try this!At first glance, it's perfect! Looks cool, works perfectly, gives you an audible beep when ever you put it on or take it off, it's accurate, no dropouts.. it's pretty great!At least that's what I thought, but the unit is so friggin sensitive that it often still thinks its on your body and therefor keeps draining battery long after you've taken it off. So, it might kill the battery in a day or two if you're not careful. I did eventually wise up to the fact that I needed to disconnect the actual electronic bit at one of the snap points when not in use... but dare I forget to do this once then I should expect a dead device next time I put it on.This has been so frustrating that I ripped the HR strap off and threw it in a bush on a ride yesterday. I went back 12 hours later with hopes of picking it back up... but it was gone and I can't say I'm too bummed about it. I'm rating this as 1 star because I cannot ignore the fact that this thing keeps chewing battery life for hours after you take the thing off. I want to like CooSpoo and I may try them for other products in the future, but this HR is a no go from me.

I use this for monitoring my HR zones during work outs. I have it paired with my Garmin Instinct watch. It's pretty easy to get set up. Once you put it on, it let's out a faint beep or two along with an intermittent flashing green light. Sometimes I have to pay attention to the beep/light to make sure it's running. It's water proof (enough for me to rinse in the shower after working out). I'd give it 5 stars if it had a mechanical on/off switch.

Now this is a bargain! This heart rate monitor connects easily to all three of my differently branded cycle computers on my bicycles. It is completely accurate and the battery life is fantastic. As others have said, you do need to moisten the black strip of the strap before putting it on your chest, but once you have done that and connected the little device to the contacts, it starts right up and syncs with whichever cycle computer I am using, or to my Cycleops indoor trainer. Why spend 2 or 3 times more for a name brand? This one is just as accurate and just as functional. I'll probably end up buying another one just so I can designate each one to a specific bicycle and bike computer. Amazing purchase, very happy!

WOW, the CooSpo H808S Heart Rate Monitor is absolutely incredible! I’m not even exaggerating—this thing is next-level if you’re serious about tracking your heart rate during workouts. First off, let’s talk about the accuracy—we’re talking ±1 BPM! That’s insanely precise for a chest strap monitor. Whether I’m sprinting, cycling, or just doing yoga, I know I’m getting real-time data that I can actually trust. This is a game-changer for anyone serious about training. 💪💥The dual-mode connection is just pure genius. It uses both Bluetooth 4.0 and ANT+, so I can connect to pretty much everything! My sports watch, bike computer, and even my favorite apps like Strava and Peloton—it syncs up effortlessly. No more fumbling with different devices or worrying about compatibility issues. I love that I can switch between all my devices and still get seamless tracking.Speaking of apps, this bad boy connects to all the big ones: Peloton, Zwift, Strava, Polar Beat… the list goes on! So, whether I’m on the Peloton bike or doing a virtual run with Zwift, it’s got my back (or chest, technically 😂). The LED light and beep reminders are such a cool feature too! The blue and green lights let me know instantly when I’m connected or not, so I’m never left guessing if the monitor is working.And the comfort! I’ve tried other chest straps before, and some of them feel like I’m being squeezed by a boa constrictor—NOT fun. But this one? So soft and adjustable! It fits perfectly and stays put even during intense rides or HIIT sessions. No slipping or awkward adjustments mid-workout. You can adjust it from 65 to 95cm, so it’s super versatile for different body types.Plus, it’s compatible with gym equipment like Nordic treadmills and Bowflex machines, so whether I’m at the gym or at home, it integrates into my workout flawlessly.In short, the CooSpo H808S isn’t just a heart rate monitor—it’s a total upgrade to your training routine. Accurate, comfortable, and super easy to use with tons of devices and apps. I’m obsessed!
