Chest strap

Former Member
Former Member over 4 years ago

Hello , new member here

I bought a vivoactive music 3 watch that I use for my cycling workout. However I feel there is a delay in my heart rates from the watch. I am looking to buy an accurate simple heart rate chest strap that is compatible with the watch. I don't want something expensive and detailed as all the data (distance /calories etc) are displayed in the watch after each work out, all I want is something accurate

Any recommendations?

    I bought a magene H64 for my crosstraining and it looks accurate to me, it is very cheap on Aliexpress and i saw some good reviews. Works fine for me sofar, although you should measure the strap against your chest since widest just fits for me and i am not that bulky.

    What about the Garmin ones?

    I use Garmin's HRM3-SS for more than 5 years now (bought with the first Vívoactive), works very well. Don't know how accurate it is, as I don't have other device/s to compare with. I'm sure it's much more accurate than measuring on my wrist, I did a few times and got horrible results. If you have some extra money, I can recommend the HRM3-SS (AFAIK more advanced chest straps are useless for VA3 because the watch can't handle advanced metrics the HRM collects).

    If you are wanting the HRM simply for HR data and not any other metrics. The Garmin HRM-Dual is compatible with the Vivoactive 3M.
