COROS Heart Rate Monitor

[@COROSGlobal]

Hey Ben, thanks for sharing your experience with the COROS Heart Rate Monitor 💪!

[@lukepaulson3428]

For those that have tattoos, optical sensors and tattoos don’t mix well. I have had great success with a Polar H10 chest strap paired to my Apple Watch. A little conductive gel makes it even better. Thanks!

I've worn in Chest HRMs for years, but I found that either in winter or major humidity and driving rain it could get inconsistent. And then there was the chaffing...I switched to a Polar OH1 and place it directly on my tricep. I did 3-4 runs with both the OH1 and the Chest HRM to give me peace of mind and found the differences were negligible. The OH1 being rechargeable is a nice perk since changing CR2032 batteries can be a pain and always seem to die at the worst times. The only thing I don't like about the OH1 is that I have to manually turn it on, which can be a pain in the winter if you gear up and forgot to turn it on. I might have to look into trying to Coros arm based optical for the auto turn on feature. Thanks for the content!

This is exactly the path I went down. You're 1 step away from where I'm at! 😂 🔥

I use the coros hr monitor as well, very comfortable wear.

[@n3evpn3evp]

I'm going to try attaching my Garmin Fenix to my upper arm and determine if the heart beat readings are more accurate than wearing it on the wrist.

Great presentation.

[@adrianturner541]

Love the coros

[@Stentordoc]

I use Polar OH1 arm strap. Very reliable. Did you try that one in your testing?

[@benjohnson763]

Yep, that's what I used prior. Great results. I find the COROS slightly more comfortable and a bit easier to use (no buttons at all, doesn't need to be removed from the strap to charge).

[@trivonpunto5560]

Hi ! Thanks for the great review. Can the Coros HRM measure the heart rate without wearing the watch? Or does it always need to be paired with it during activity? The reason I ask is because, in addition to running, I also play beach volleyball. So obviously I cannot wear my Pace 3, but would still like to track my hr. Thanks!

[@benjohnson763]

You can pair it with a phone app (like Strava) and use that to track HR. 👍

[@ianbrown9614]

How do you get good treadmill data? Does something like the HRM Pro help?

[@cur7y]

Can u make a video about ur training program or how do I should train

[@johnjae3072]

Which Coros watch do you prefer using?

[@benjohnson763]

The Pace 3 works great for me! 👍

[@mister.myoung8601]

If you pair this with a Garmin or Apple can you access the coros training hub to see your data there after? Also does that platform show HR zones worked over the course of a week for weekly averages? Thanks

[@benjohnson763]

Yes, it does have zones for the weekly averages. The HR monitor is setup in the COROS app but I'm not sure if the data would show up in COROS Training Hub without a COROS watch.

[@mister.myoung8601]

@@benjohnson763 thanks for confirming.

[@vincentli3944]

Does the coros HRM work with garmins?

[@IceTea129]

Does the arm strap show the live heart rate on the coros warch during exercise?

[@benjohnson763]

Yes, definitely 👍

[@MilesLangley]

Is there a delay in an arm band HR monitor in comparison to a chest strap?

[@benjohnson763]

Potentially in the 1-2 second range but nothing that impacts how I use the data.

[@sebastianwagner3534]

do i need a coros account to use the coros hr band or can i use it without an account?

[@benjohnson763]

I believe you can use it without an account.

[@DoctorReddy8]

You should change your channels name to Ben Johnson instead of benjohnson763

[@benjohnson763]

There are quite a few other Ben Johnson's in the world.

[@aSkibidiRunner]

Cool vid but kinda boring u should add some memes and editing and stuff

[@benjohnson763]

Maybe someday 👍
