To all I have revised my previous Amazon survey and review on my PowrLabs HRM. I am a happy customer. I have received overwhelming and very helpful technical support from the PowrLabs tech team. The most surprising aspect of this review process from previous unfavorable review was the very understanding and most accommodating support from the Founder and Owner of the company. I experienced the most gracious, top to bottom, technical support I ever received. My PowrLabs HRM is successfully paired and working as expected. It’s the most cost-effective device of its kind. I am a happy customer.
November 2022, I received my Powrlab Heart Rate Monitor (wrist, arms) version. I was able to easily setup the device and configure to my Peloton Exercise Bike. As of last week, it stopped working and a brief hiatus from my Peloton Bike exercises, I was no longer able to view the Powrlabs heart monitor rate displayed on my Peloton bike table nor my TV. Today, I called Peloton Tech Support, after many logistical and basic troubleshooting steps, there was No change. I would return the device, but I am just passed my return day “window” date January 31, 2023.
I have updated my firmware and I managed to revert to a previous firmware version, with the help of Peloton tech support. After recycling the power on the bike, I managed to pair the heart monitor to the Peloton Tablet, Apple Watch (the two device limit).
All should be working, as I have previously experienced, all except the Powrlabs monitor readings not being displayed on any device.
If I did not have the good professional Peloton tech support, I would have felt, somehow Peloton blocked the pairing of the block, so I would purchase their heart monitor, but I have enough technical experience to know this is not the case. So, I will continue to try and get this device to work.

Bought this to replace an ifit heartrate monitor for my treadmill. This works perfectly!! syncs quickly and very accurate!! Only had for a week but seems to be excellent! Would recommend. A++
Che app devo scaricare per usarlo con Apple ? –
Easy to install as my heart monitoring device for my garmin bike computer. Battery lasts for many rides. Initially had a problem (my fault), but customer support was prompt and great. I also wear an Apple watch and most of the time the heart rate is the same as on the watch. Sometimes, it starts out with too high a heart rate, but within a minute it seems to figure it out and is good for the rest of the ride. Comes with two straps that are easy to install on your forearm. For me, much more comfortable than a chest heart monitor.
If I lost this one I would buy another.

Seit Jahren verwende ich den Wahoo Tickr, um meine Herzschläge während des Ausdauersports zu messen. Da dieses Produkt auch so seine Mängel hat (die sich eher um das Armband und die Befestigung drehen), wollte ich diesmal einem anderen Hersteller die Chance geben und habe das Powr Labs Armband bestellt, welches ja auch noch günstiger ist, als das von Wahoo.
Der erste Eindruck war schon sehr gut! Design, Armband, Ladeadapter und auch Bedienung sagten mir sehr zu. Doch nur die ersten drei Trainingseinheiten wurden damit korrekt aufgezeichnet. Beim vierten Mal war es dann so, dass das Gerät, obwohl es eigentlich noch mind. zur Hälfte geladen sein sollte, direkt nach der Aktivierung sofort ausging, weil der Akku offenbar leer war. Hatte ich vergessen, das Gerät auszuschalten? Eigentlich nicht. Also lud ich das Gerät erneut auf. Doch auch bei der nächsten Ausfahrt versagte das Armband wieder seinen Dienst, ging sofort aus. Es folgten unterschiedliche Ladeversuche, an verschiedenen Ladegeräten und Powerbanks – jedoch immer mit dem gleichen Ergebnis: das Gerät funktioniert nicht! Sehr schade. Offenbar ein Problem mit dem Akku.
Nachdem ich das Gerät zurückgesendet hatte, dann die Überraschung: der Kundenservice von Powr Labs bietet mir nicht nur eine Rückerstattung des Kaufpreises an, sondern auch den kostenfreien Versand eines neuen Armbands. Wow! Ich muss sagen, das hat mich sehr beeindruckt. Bei Powr Labs muss man schon sehr von seinem Produkt überzeugt sein! Was soll ich sagen? Das neue Armband verrichtet seither problemlos seinen Dienst. Was die mit 60h+ angegebene Akkulaufzeit angeht, muss ich mich noch etwas rantasten, denn vor langen Radausfahrten lade ich lieber nochmal auf. Ich würde sagen, die Akkulaufzeit ist in jedem Fall ausreichend!

2 years now and still going strong. Use it for cycling and long battery. Never had an issue with connections. Works great with my Tacx Neo 2T and Garmin cycle computer. Connects fast and reliable every time. Great price point as well. Compared to my Apple Watch and dead-on the same.

Initial review: Needed a heart rate monitor for cycling. This Powr Labs band you can wear on the upper or lower forearm. Works in a straightforward manner. Pairs with my Wahoo Elemnt Roam instantly. Accurate measurements. No gimmick. No fancy app needed. Just worked.
Additional review after two months of use: After a couple months of use, I realized the BPM readings could be way off sometimes. This happened especially when my heart rate was increasing rapidly, such as when entering a climb from the flats. Instead of increasing, the reading would show a decrease, often going into the range of 60-70 BPM whereas my real heart rate was 130-150. I was told that some monitors may have algorithms that try to compensate for the movement of the monitor and can produce erroneous readings, and this might have been the issue. Sometimes, the readings would go back to the proper values after a minute or so. But sometimes it would remain too low after 5 or even 10 minutes at the new higher heart rate and would suddenly jump back from 80 BPM to 130 in less than a second at some unpredictable time. A friend told me to try wearing the monitor on the upper arm and tighten the band. I tried that but to no avail. It is also possible my bike computer does not play well with this monitor.

I purchased the Powr-Labs heart rate monitor as a replacement for a chest strap heart rate monitor that I was having issues with. I primarily use it with the Peloton bike and the Peloton app. When I turned on the Powr-Labs heart rate monitor, it easily paired with the bike. Since the initial pairing, whenever I turn on the bike, the heart rate monitor automatically connects. It also automatically connects to the app. To check the accuracy, I compared the heart rate from the Powr-Labs monitor to the heart rate on my Apple watch and on a digital pulse oximeter and they are within a few beats of each other, so I feel the Powr-Labs heart rate monitor is accurate. I have been using it for 2 weeks and I have had no issues with it, connectivity has been continuous when in use. Regarding the battery, I have used it for about 25 hours, so it is not ready for a charge yet, so I can’t evaluate how long the battery charge lasts. I would definitely purchase again!

I bought this when my chest strap cardiac monitor failed. This device works great! It tracks extremely well with my watch that also monitors my heart rate. It uses an optical sensor so it starts working immediately. I wish I had bought it sooner. I really like how I can just slip it on to my forearm. This is much better than having to put on a chest strap.

Using a Pelaton daily has been great in every aspect except one – being able to track my workouts in Apple Watch and my Strive score at the same time. I didn’t want to choose one or the other. This heart rate tracker has solved that issue completely. It’s usually a beat or two behind what my Apple Watch shows, but they are always pretty close. Initial setup of this heart rate monitor was frustrating. It took forever to pair the device with the Pelaton. Once paired, though, it has been completely seamless to use daily. I’m over a week in to using this every day, and it still registers at 100% battery, so I’m also very pleased with the battery life.
