FITCENT Heart Rate Monitor Replacement Band Strap Compatible with Orange Theory Fitness, OTF, OT Beat Burn Armband

I just recently got into Orangetheory fitness and found out that I needed to wear a heart rate monitor on my forearm while working out. Useful for monitoring yourself and seeing your improvement. Only thing I hate about it is that it’s so boring looking just being a black band. Lo and behold, I stumble onto this accessory for my Orangetheory fitness armband heart rate monitor. This camouflage design puts a little spunk on my heart rate monitor! The elasticity works well, the Velcro works just perfectly, and it is very compatible with the Orangetheory heart rate monitor. Nothing wrong with it whatsoever, and definitely a nice change of look for something that is very practical and blah . Also, it is very moisture absorbing and will dry off pretty easily after you sweat profusely after a hard workout.

But it's not great, either. I bought the FITCENT Heart Rate Monitor Armband Replacement Strap as replace my worn out OTF (Orangetheory) burn armband. The band itself was straightforward to replace once I figured out it's overly long on purpose. It's about .05 mm too wide for the monitor, but once you get past the ends of the strap, the fabric's flexible enough to wiggle the band in position. I generally wear my burn just underneath my elbow, but the FITCENT armband is much too long to fit my arm in this location. The band kept slipping down around my wrist because there was nothing for the hook & look fastener to hook into. Wearing it above my elbow fits better and it's easier for me to adjust by myself in this position. The band is a little bit scratchy but in fairness, I have sensitive skin that's easily irritated by everything.I read reviews for similarly sized bands and many of those reviews claim those don't fit the OTF burn. The FITCENT was one of the few with pictures showing the band on the burn so I felt confident it would work for me. At $6.99, it was a great deal so even though I don't love it, it suits my needs.
