<span itemprop="description">Have seen the same plateau issue mentioned elsewhere - moves from 120 to 133 to 155 BPM. Now having trouble getting a signal. Connects to zwift or wahoo app but won't give a heart rate reading. Giving up. Would not recommend.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Broken by design</span>
<span itemprop="description">Several other reviewers have noted that it appears to get stuck on specific values: 120, 133, 150 and so on. This is why: one way to measure heart rate is to accurately measure the time between individual heart beats in milliseconds, then divide 60,000 by that time. (That's generally to unstable, so you then average several such readings, over the course of 10-30 seconds say.) And that's all this does really, except that it can only measure beats to the nearest 50 milliseconds. 500ms is 120bpm. 450ms is 133bpm. 400ms is 150bpm, then 171, then 200. If it can't measure any more accurately than to the nearest 50ms, you simply cannot produce any reading between those values. When this device does appear to produce numbers in-between, it is because it is in the middle of averaging a period where it was measuring, say, a solid 133bpm, with a new period of solid 150bpm readings. Your real heart rate could be anywhere between, over or under and it simply cannot tell you.
There's no reason it had to work that way, it's just bad engineering, and it's not fixable. And since all the gaps are exactly where you will want to be during vigorous exercise, that renders it unfit for purpose.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Great works well.</span>
<span itemprop="description">Had this for 1 week & works well. Connected to my Garmin Edge Touring+ & Wahoo app on my Samsung J6 & both auto connect every time. Readings say resting 74, which is right, & gets upto 171 when pushing hard on cycle ride, also reads average at 144.
Dont know how this compares with more expensive but I would reccommend this moniter for the price.</span>
