Compré dos bandas coros para mi novia y para mí con la intención de usarlas con nuestros relojes Garmin Forerunner 255 y 255s porque sentíamos que la medición de frecuencia cardiaca no era del todo exacta. Y no ha decepcionado en absoluto.
Se sincroniza automáticamente una vez que la tienes emparejada con el reloj y con solo seleccionar una actividad para hacer.
Me gusta mucho que incluso quitándote el reloj, siga cogiendo la fc ya que en deportes en los que te tienes que quitar el reloj (por llevar muñequeras en el gimnasio, por ejemplo) puedes seguir registrando tu fc.
Es cómoda y se ajusta muy bien al contorno del brazo. La banda se puede separar del sensor para lavarla (lo hemos hecho tanto a mano como en la lavadora y aguanta genial).
Es un añadido para tu reloj que no puede faltar si te gustan los datos precisos.

This HR monitor is much more comfortable than a chest strap, I don’t even notice that it’s on most of the time. It’s super light weight, easy to put on and you can remove the HR monitor to easily clean the strap.
As for accuracy, I was skeptical at first but I am very impressed. I compared it to my Polar chest strap and it is just as accurate every time. I almost didn’t buy this product because I assumed there was no way it could be as accurate as a chest strap, but I was wrong (I collected data from 4 runs. 2 threshold sessions, a long run and a daily run, to compare).
I have a Coros Apex 2 Pro, and connecting it is seamless and it’s ready to go every run with 0 headaches. Connection to the app is great too.
The battery life is great, I have done 2 weeks of training wearing this for every run and the battery is at 50%. I do wish that the indicator for the battery life on the device itself was more clear, but if you have the Coros app, it clearly displays battery life on your devices. So this is a very minor complaint.
Overall, I can’t recommend this product enough, especially if you already have a Coros watch.

I was a part of a voluntary COROS HRM device testing program for two months ahead of the public release for this device, and was so impressed with the metrics it provided that I felt it valuable enough to buy as a gift for a fellow athlete. This quick review reflects my experience with the device during testing (and afterwards), and is not sponsored by COROS.
About me: I’ve been an avid runner since 2012, trending towards longer endurance-based events. I’ve run a number of ultramarathons and a handful of 100 mile races. I also do a bit of road and indoor (stationary trainer) cycling as cross-training.
Things I like: This HRM appeals to me because of its simplicity and versatility. I like that there are no buttons (it senses when it is being worn), and I like the fact that once you set the sizing, it stays put and is easy to slip on before an activity. For sizing: I’m 5’-9”, 160-ish, and I still have plenty of slack in the strap…but I don’t do a lot of lifting. It is SO much simpler and WAY less noticeable than a chest strap. I also love the magnetic charger–even though it is relatively short (and proprietary). Charging is quick, and the battery life is ample, so it won’t be charging for very long anyhow.
Data accuracy: During testing I compared this new HRM to my Wahoo TICKR HRM, as well as data from wrist-based optical HR sensors (COROS Pace 3 and Apex 2 Pro watches). The short summary is that the most consistent data came from this COROS armband. The KICKR chest strap–while plenty accurate–was slower getting an initial reading before beginning an activity, and had some data drop-outs during the activity as well. Chest straps occasionally require adjusting during activities as they loosen and slip. Wrist-based HRM sensors work fairly well, but are somewhat activity dependent. Cycling (especially if venturing off-road) can jostle these sensors from wrist contact and can result in some inconsistent data too. The armband stays securely in place, and is so comfortable and light I often don’t notice I’m wearing it. During testing there were data anomalies from all devices, but the armband HRM produced FAR FEWER than any of the others.
Material thoughts: The armband material has held up well so far, but DOES tend to get stinky and discolored with wear. I’ve had mine since early July, and wash it with soap and water occasionally when I can’t stand the funk, and it cleans up nicely (see photos). Replacement armbands are also available, though I can’t see needing one for a good while.
Something I wrote to the product testing group during evaluation: “The more I run with both an arm and chest strap the more I LOVE the arm band. I’ve now got a rash from the chest strap and it drops signal more than any of the three HR options. I’ll admit that I’m a sucker for simplicity, so would normally just use readout from the watch (decent)…but if I need an accurate and responsive HR readout, I’m picking the HR31.”
Summary: This armband doesn’t miss a beat (ha!) and makes a lot of sense for an athlete interested in reliable HRM data across multiple sports. I initially wasn’t too keen on adding another device to my quiver, but this HRM earned its place, and would be a worthy asset to those who value consistent accurate data across disciplines.

Bottom line up front: buy this heart rate monitor, you won’t regret it.
I’ve spent the last few months putting this COROS armband through its paces. As a triathlete with a CrossFit problem, here’s what keeps me coming back:
1. Accuracy. First and foremost, it consistently delivers results on par with my Polar H10 (which now sits in a drawer as a result) and, in some cases, was more accurate (especially activities that sometimes involve weird chest movements or jumping, like in CrossFit). It showcases an absolutely snappy response to abrupt changes in HR during interval training. And, because it’s an optical HRM, zero issues with tracking correctly from the moment you hit start, no matter the environmental conditions (unlike the age-old problem with humidity on chest sensors).
2. Comfort. It’s so light you completely forget it’s there! Importantly, it never rubs, chafes, or creates discomfort. On the upper bicep, it’s never in the way, no matter the activity. The band itself easily adjusts to any arm and it can slide right off the sensor to throw in the washing machine and clean (when was the last time you washed your chest sensor??).
3. Ease of use. Frankly, it just works. If you own a COROS watch, this will sync right up. Though, while it works seamlessly with the COROS ecosystem, it will work with any Bluetooth-connected device (I have paired it with indoor rowers, other exercise machines, and non-COROS watches without problem). Lastly, this thing has a long battery life and is rechargeable, so you never have to worry about not having a spare battery on hand (the app or watch will even tell you how much battery is left).
Zero regrets on this purchase. I strongly recommend the COROS armband to anyone who asks.

I like that the strap is small and comfortable and provides accurate HR. Sometimes my Garmin 945 wrist based HR will sync to my cadence when running instead of my HR, especially if it is cold or the watch is not super strapped down. While I make sure the arm strap is snug, since it is on my arm I don’t notice it as much as when I use my Garmin HRM+ chest strap. Syncing was quick and easy and the strap worked well initially. On the downside, at some point the strap stopped waking up when I put it on unless I followed the reset instructions from the website (plug/unplug 5 times in a row). I contacted support and they had me download the COROS app, which notified me that I had a new firmware update available for the strap. Unfortunately that did not fix the issue, but support was able to send me a new one after confirming that it was a hardware issue. Overall great experience with the strap and COROS support.
