Any information on how comfortable the strap is? I am wearing a Garmin HRM Pro for one hour a day during workouts and it is not very comfy. I know a lot of athletes are moving to way less precise optical hand straps just because of the comfort issues with chest straps. I would not wear a chest strap for longer periods of time, unless I absolutely had to.
sadly, comfort for chest straps compared to hand straps is a known issue and ours is definitely no different. Wve done a bunch of tests, tried different materials/custom solutions, and honestly we're still clueless how to make it significantly better (if anyone here works in textiles or wearable fabrics, I'd love to connect). So yeah, if wearing your Garmin for more than an hour already feels uncomfortable, ours probably won't be much better in that regard
