HRM-Fit

Good purchase for training.

So far so good. I like it a lot. It does have a few issues which aren't major ones. It connects best to thick banded bras. Some of my favorite running bras are a little thin so it feels like it could slip out at any time. So far it has not come close but feels like it could. Lastly if you are doing any type of bending or crunches you will definitely feel it poke in the middle. But overall I like it and will continue to use it during my training.

Not happy

I am having a problem keeping the clips attached to my sports bra. The middle one is fine.

Clips only to tie-fit high bras. When bra moves with my body turns/stretches - it moves too: I have to readjust it (constantly checking if it fits me perfectly). The clips are big and uncomfortable when you do belly-down exercises. Many times the clips would unclip. Wouldn't buy it again if I knew all this. Wish could replace it with the normal style monitor.

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
