[Closed] PSA Lidl HRM £14.99 - works with Strava!

make sure you moisten it properly or the heart rate will be nonsense.

Rode for 2 hours last night, iphone in the backpack. It worked all the way round, no issues, could barely feel it on.

I have NO IDEA why I bought it but I like it.

Classic PSA pavlovian response. 😆

I liked it so much I bought two, ding ding.
they're is still loads left in my local lidl, Crawley.

I have NO IDEA why I bought it but I like it.

Thanks op, just got one in Beckenham, where they had about six left. Looking forward to trying it out. Has anyone tried it with Endomondo, it says it'll work?

Works fine with Endomondo.

Great thanks, I prefer endomondo for running.

Bought mine and tried connecting it to my Galaxy S5 (on OS 5.0) and the Phone and HRM can see each other, but the HRM rejects the connection. My Mate has an apple iphone and connected to it with no issue at all. I don't get the opportunity to punch in any code, so its using the default Samsung code. And I don't know how to change that!

Had a look around the internet and I cannot see a fix for this.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Otherwise it looks like this is going back to the shop.

First HRM ride last night, just got a 5 miler in. Everything seemed to work as it should. Got a suffer score of 10!

I think the premium is required for HRM 'analysis' of time spent in zones etc.

Cheers OP. Picked one yesterday.

You don't need to pair it via blue-tooth in the phone settings. Just strap it onto yourself and on your app, Strava for me, connect it as an additional sensor. Boom.

I have to take mine back.
Mmm, sweaty

Do people find there's to read strangely high?

It appears that the Samsung S5 has a known Bluetooth issue, which is not fully resolved yet. I have however managed to get the HRM working via Strava, but not though the phones Bluetooth interface or through endmondo or sportstracker.

So looks like I'm using Strava from now on!

Do people find there's to read strangely high?

It read stupidly high for the first 5 minutes that I wore mine, but settled to a correct level after that and since then.

Mine seems high too - even on a test ride (although never above my theoretical max). Seems reluctant to go below 100bpm even though I can feel with my own fingers that it's around 70.

Although without premium you only really see a reading when it's a segment, which is obviously when you are trying hardest.

Bought two... seems to work just fine, mid-50s bpm sitting here which is normal for me

Also got a track pump for a fiver!

Sony xperia and can't get it working,tried Strava and Endomondo and no joy with either

jeff - Timelord
bought a pair!

mike_p - Also timelord
Bought two...

Tried for first Strava ride. Relieved to see I have a pulse, AHR of 131 which ain't bad, max. of 164 on a biggish climb.

^^
Maybe they are Time Lords??

Iphone users, do you need to pair the HRM? Phone not finding it. Do i need to change Strava settings as when i start a stara ride i can't see any HR readings.

EDIT: Thanks for the PSA OP, if i get it working.

Yep pair it first and dig into the strava settings then it should show upon the start ride big button

How many of you are there ?!

There's only one. But he time travels a LOT so it seems the universe is full of them... A bit like electrons: [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-electron_universe ]Mind blowing theory[/url]

Picked one up but it seems a bit random, sits at 100 then disconnects and reconnects randomly

Bought an couple today. Works well with my Ambit3; means i don't have to pack a wet HR belt anymore when I head away with work after a bike ride.

I picked one up today. Is anyone else getting wild results using there's with an iPhone 4S? Mine seems to fluctuate between 80-140 constantly. I've tried both Strava and Endomondo and both give odd readings.

with mine which was erratic..i used gel on the conductive bit....actiua;;y bio freeze seemed fairly accurate

Seems to be gone from the website, not been recalled from sale have they?

There were about 10 left in Monmouth this evening.

Theres a 60 day strava premium trial for BC members

3 left in the Cardiff Splott store in the reduced bin - 30% off!

For those getting random readings and disconnections, try a bit more water on the conducting pads.

Ok, I know I'm not the fittest person out there, but this isn't right is it?

I think I'll take it back 🙁

I'm going to do one more test tomorrow and see if it looks natural.
Mine didn't show as high as robgclarkson, but it wasn't far off on my initial test.

Has anyone had any success pairing it with a sunnto ambit2 ???

Is that an iPhone Rob? Mine works fine, you sure the pads are damp/moist enough?

Yeah iPhone... And I fairly dampened the pads, plus I got a good sweat on whilst riding...

I found that the strap is quite position sensitive. Up by the nips it gives a reading near maximum, down at bottom of pecs it's more accurate.

What's wrong with it? The 195 could be spurious, any number of things can cause interference, but otherwise that looks very normal.

Is it? I genuinely don't know... An average of 173bmp seems a bit high... But I honestly don't know, I've never worn a HRM before...

Mine works but only when I have Strava open, as soon as I put it away and it goes on standby it looses contact, I know this as when I then pull it back up it comes up with 'bluetooth sensor found' as if the bluetooth switches off on standby, there is no option on the phone for this though. (HTC one mini)

This is my screenshot. Similar pattern. Just a little lower.
I'm 42 btw

Edit: That flatline on the climb was where the HRM fell off!

Is it? I genuinely don't know... An average of 173bmp seems a bit high... But I honestly don't know, I've never worn a HRM before...

Looks very normal. I can average 190+ for 2 hours. There's no real correlation between fitness and HR.

I swapped my HRM, got the last one in the shop, and (seemingly) it works much better... my resting heart rate is 71bpm, as opposed to 135bpm 😆 .... a ride on sunday will tell me what i need to know...

Excellent, at least its not my heart spakking out on me.
Do you just use water to moisten the pads, or something else?
I am a little hairy... 😳
