Rank #9 in Best Heart Rate Monitors 2026: 10 Ranked, Three Spec Sheets Wrong
CYCPLUS H2Pro ECG Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The CYCPLUS H2Pro is a chest strap heart rate monitor at £25.99, ninth in this guide, rated 4.3 out of 5 from 377 ratings. Its bullets put the pod at 21 g and 34 g with the strap, run it on a built-in CR2032 coin cell the listing rates at up to 500 hours, and claim IPX7 waterproofing plus a two-year manufacturer guarantee. It reads your pulse through electrodes on a strap that fastens around the chest, and pairs over Bluetooth or ANT+ with phones, watches and bike computers.
The notable thing here is what this listing's spec table gets right. In a guide where the Garmin HRM-200 and the COOSPO chest strap are filed under 'Sensor Type: Optical', the CYCPLUS field says ECG — the method a strap with electrodes actually uses. Within the same listing, though, the name says H2Pro while the Model Number says H2; the Item Weight is given as 55 g against 21 g (34 g with the strap) in the bullets; and the Compatible Devices field lists only tablets and bike computers, while the bullets promise phones, smartwatches and cycling computers too. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it stands, not from testing by us.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I am in the middle of a serious health kick and after issues in the past I need to monitor my heart rate. My previous expensive monitor finally broke after thousands of miles cycling and I spotted this. It is a little chunkier than my previous one but the unit connected immediately with my Garmin and the strap feels comfortable when riding for hours. The strap and electrodes seem well made and should last well and the accuracy when monitoring my heart rate seems very good too. Overall for the price I think it's good value and Im hoping the coin battery lasts as long as my previous monitor. I mainly use it with Ant+ but I also tried it through bluetooth to my phone on a few hikes and that worked well too.”
Verified purchase“This monitor was easy to set up once I had read through the instructions. Simple paring with my phone, then slightly more complicated paring to strava. All working in 10 mins from opening box. Auto start feature makes it fit &forget in use.Basic functions which is all I wanted. Simples!!!”
