Out with the old...new with the new

Finally after about 13years my HRM1G monitor refused to work and retired to the circular haven bin. The old model was absolutely bullet proof and comfortable...but tech limited. Being cheap I purchased the lowest costing HR monitor and I'm not sorry. It gives me all the 411 I need. Only thing I don't like is the fastener...and that is personal preference. I just liked the old HRM1G way of attaching. Other than that OMG perfect and respectfully priced.
There's no way to discern a HRM from other HRMs while connecting to watch. For people that lives in cities and apartments, this is an issue. Very clunky set up process
I'm happy with it for the price. Has minimal features but lets me know when it needs a new battery, which is what I wanted. Seems to record heart rate correctly.
I’m on the third unit, the two previous delaminated and the return/exchange process is difficult. Also the rep that processed the last return was rude and insulting to me. That said, when it works it works good
It works well and is comfortable compared to similar things I've worn in the past. The only real downside is have is i cant figure out how to show live heart rate in the garmin connect app and even though I can pair the meta quest 3 with it I cant find a way to see the heart rate on the headset. I found a work around using a 3rd party app and using the pass-through mode on the headset to keep an eye on things while I exercise. If I'm incorrect and it can do those things I will gladly change my review as it works really well outside of those issues. Its also likely that I had outdated information when I made the purchase and neither of those things are possible.
