HRM-Fit

Chafe until I’m bleeding

I bought this at a Boston pop up last year. It’s marketed to not cause chafing. I’ve tried it with so many sports bras. I’m done with it. I’ve been chafing to the point of bleeding. I’ve tried to use glide and similar products to help but nothing lasts through a long run.

Still hurts my chest

Is good, but when I wear it for a long distance run, make blisters in my chest

Buyers regret

I was hoping this would be more comfortable than my other heart rate straps. But these caused a lot of chafing issues on both ends.

HRM-Fit. Frustrating

I liked the idea of the Fit. It worked well the first few times. Now it stays around 90 bpm and then jumps to the correct range 15 minutes into the workout. It comes off the bra strap. I just bought the banded hrm.

Not as expected.

From using only the app without the watch, the device is not showing me real time pulse measurements. Also, it sometimes works and at other times it doesn't - maybe depends on the bra type, but looks like you need a tight one for it to start working, which is not comfortable. Not to mention the battery compartment; I tried to open that thing to see how the battery change works. I've tried with a coin and whatever I could think of and it wouldn't open. Plan to reach out to Customer Service and see how to deal with this as it's just not opening and I basically ruined the back of the device from trying to open the battery compartment. Overall, not impressed and was expecting this to be something I could use regularly in my workouts. Maybe it works better with the watch. Not sure it is worth it if you plan to use it just with the app.

Did not add much on top of my watch

I did not see any difference from the measurements my watch takes, not worth the money it costs

Connects easily with Garmin watch and super easy to put on/off

Works half the time

This works intermittently, and if it’s not centered perfectly on your bra strap it won’t pick up your heart rate. t’s not worth the money to spend.

Upgrade!

I had the original MC hestbstrapmone and this one is so much more comfortable convenient and has not chaffed and I have ran up to 10 miles with it!

Fastens to sports bra easily

Just make sure the fabric of sports bra is secured to the outer part of the clip. When the material was inserted on the inner portion of the clip, I wasn’t able to get a Bluetooth connection.
