Yes, I believe the new ones have been integrated into the inventory completely.
I believe this strap will fit the Rhythm Plus perfectly, but it will not fit the 24.
The device's small strap extends up to about 23 cm and can be stretched to give you more 4-inch length. 5 cm (27- Total length is 28 cm.
No, but since it's light-based, the chest strap that was used with electrode-based heart rate monitors shouldn't be necessary.
Selected User Reviews For Scosche Rhythm+ Replacement Strap - Fits Scosche Rhythm+ Optical Heart Rate Monitor Armband
The OrangeTheory Burn HRM is not compatible with this replacement band. It's too wide, as you can see in the photo. br>It's also much thinner than the Burn band. This may be a good thing, but it gives it the impression of being flimsy and easily broken to me. br>No issues were encountered during the return trip.
" The orange straps that came with my Orangetheory Scosche were replaced by this blue strap. Blue is a color that I like. What I don't like is that the "small" blue strap is much smaller than the "small" orange strap that came with my Orangetheory Scosche brand; as you can see in the photo, the "large" blue strap is the same length as my "small" orange. As another reviewer pointed out, the small blue one is useless and too small. I wish the strap lengths were the same because they are made by the same company. I also wish you could order a two-pack of them based on their size, with two different colors in each pack. Because the blue "small" is going to be a dust collector.
I'm a little disappointed that I had to buy two replacement straps when all I needed was a large. I would have been less annoyed if I had purchased two of what I needed and one that I didn't need.
The sizing was completely incorrect. XXS/M should have been written on the S/L packaging instead of S/L. My forearm is easily accommodated by the large band. Adolescent children's forearms MAY fit into the small band. I intended to share this packaging with my partner, but I kept the large for myself, and the smalls are gathering dust in a drawer until a skeleton asks for a band to borrow.
The layer of fabric on the strap that adheres to the velcro tab on the original (approximately 2 years old) is peeling away, causing the monitor to no longer be securely held on my arm. During those two years, the HR monitor and strap were used frequently (five or more days of running or cycling per week), and the strap was hand washed after each use. Overall, I believe that a fabric product subjected to that level of use should have a reasonable lifespan. I'll be happy with my new strap if it lasts that long. The new strap arrived in good condition and on time. I chose yellow because I prefer to be as visible as possible while riding or running. It actually comes with two straps, one for larger arms and the other for smaller arms (or at least that's what I believe the sizes are based on). I've only used the strap once, and it did its job well, keeping the HR monitor firmly in place on my upper right bicep during a 90-minute bike ride; however, I do have two concerns (one of which also applied to my original strap). The first is purely cosmetic, and I don't think it's a big deal, but it doesn't make sense to me. If you're going to make a strap in a high-heeled shoe, you'll need a high-heeled shoe. Why put the color on the inside of the strap, where it can't be seen, when it's vis color (or any color for that matter)? The velcro tabs that loop over the monitor and attach on the outside are the only part of the color that shows. The second issue/question is: Why are the straps so short, and why aren't they made of a more flexible material? No one will ever accuse me of having large biceps, but even with the larger strap, there isn't enough extra strap to provide the best possible velcro connection, in my opinion. It's fairly secure when the strap and velcro are new, but as the velcro loses some of its "stickiness," I've had it pop open and once fall off my arm while running. Because I wear the monitor under my jersey sleeve while cycling, it isn't as much of a problem. Even so, the old strap has come loose on rides, and I've lost the heartbeat connection (which is very inconvenient). The large strap, in my opinion, should be an inch or two longer and made of a slightly more flexible fabric. The strap came loose the majority of the time when I flexed my arm, causing a slight increase in my bicep size, which pulled the velcro away from the strap. To ensure a good HR connection, the strap must be worn snugly (but not too tight), but if you flex your bicep (as you would when reaching into a back jersey pocket, for example), one of the velcro tabs may pull away, especially after the strap has been used. Don't get me wrong: I've been pleased with my Scosche monitor overall, and when it dies, I'll likely replace it. It's annoying when the velcro comes loose, but it happens infrequently, so I've learned to pay extra attention when putting it on to make sure the velcro tabs grab the fabric tightly (though a longer, more flexible strap would solve that problem). The Scosche HR monitor is more comfortable for me, especially on long rides, and it does not irritate my skin as much as my chest strap HR monitor does. So, while I recommend this strap (along with the HR monitor), knowing its limitations and taking extra care when putting it on to avoid it coming loose is required. br>I bought this product on my own and was not offered or given anything in exchange for this review by Amazon or the seller.
I bought this as a replacement for the Orange Theory (orange-colored) band, and it's a good band with no color seepage. (This was mentioned in a review of the pink band. ) ) The only drawback to these bands (you get two with this purchase) is that they are not adjustable in size. You get a large band (great for a female forearm or bicep) and an XL band at Orange Theory, but you get a small band and a large band with this purchase. It's not practical to sell two smalls or two larges—how about two smalls or two larges? Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase, and the vendor delivered quickly!.
Excellent craftsmanship. These aren't quite as long as the OTF Flex's original bands. That is a positive development. I couldn't wear the orinals any longer because they had stretched out so much. My upper arm was too big for the small one. We'll see how these hold up in the long run, but I like how the smaller one allows me to wear the Flex over my wrist now.
