Title: Better and more reliable than their 'Soft Strap' (P/N: HRM2-SS)
Review: This Heart Rate Monitor is great and much more reliable than Garmin's newer 'Soft Strap' (P/N: HRM2-SS).I have had nothing but trouble with the 'Soft Strap': readings erratically ramping up, then dropping way down, the cutting in and out, etc. But, this heart rate monitor is more durable and consistent. Additionally, the battery is much easier to change out, as with the 'Soft Strap' you have to remove 4 small screws to do so: you have to have a very small Phillips head screw driver, and if you're not careful you could easily lose one of the tiny screws. I just don't understand why Garmin had to change to this type of battery compartment, as it is a step backwards in design.
Is the review positive or negative?
