Rank #6 in Best Heart Rate Monitors 2026: 10 Ranked, Three Spec Sheets Wrong
COOSPO Bluetooth & ANT+ Chest Strap HRM
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The COOSPO Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap is the sixth product in this guide. It is a chest strap that broadcasts heart rate over Bluetooth 4.0 and ANT+, pairs with apps from Zwift and Wahoo to Peloton, Komoot and iFIT, and runs alongside GPS watches and gym equipment. It costs £24.79 and holds 4.1 out of 5 across 5,212 ratings.
The listing is where this one gets interesting. Its own bullet points describe the strap as 45 g total; the specification table on the same page lists an item weight of 70 g. That table also gives a display size of 0.96 inches for a product whose only stated outputs are LED indicators and beep tones — a chest strap has no screen to measure. The sensor type is listed as "Optical" as well, on a device most people would assume is a contact strap. Where a spec sheet cannot describe the thing in front of you, the 4.1 rating and its 5,212 ratings are the numbers worth trusting. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing we carried out.
How those 5,212 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.1 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Had a coospo for about 9 years and it's paired with everything I've thrown at it. After it started failing due to deteriorating strap replacing it with another from the same brand was a mo brainer. Arrived quickly and, as with it's predecessor, it paired with no issues with all my gadgets (watch/phone/laptop/head unit). New one also has a green light and a beep to show it's working so makes it much easier to know if I've not connected it correctly. At a third (or more) if the price of a lot of others I'm very happy with my new unit.”
Verified purchase“I have only owned this for a short period and used it 3 times, however it links up to my Garmin computer and Zwift set up easily. I've had both Garmin and Wahoo HR monitors which cost 3 times as much and experienced issues, either with connectivity, variability of heart rate detection (Garmin could take up to 15 minutes to properly register my heart rate, as in it would stick around 80 then suddenly jump up to the correct rate.I'm working on basis if I get 6 months to a year's use out of this it's worth the £26.”
