Works well / more accurate than wrist reading

Greatly improves accuracy of heart rate reporting. Slightly confusing setup instructions - hard to tell if it is working vs. wrist monitoring. Overall, I am quite happy with the results.
I have low BP and I am not sure if that impacts HR reporting - I have noticed that the wrist function shorts me of my cardio results, and am really happy to have the more accurate HR info to support training.

Love the HRM 200!

This chest strap is perfect for recording heart rate during runs/walks. The wrist based sensor is so unreliable and always recorded my heart rate much higher than it actually was, thus throwing off my entire metrics. With the HRM 200, there is no sudden spikes, cadence lock and temperature fussiness that I experienced with my watch. The chest strap was a very good buy!
