VirtuFit Universal Heart Rate Strap 5.3 kHz

The VirtuFit Universal Heart Rate Band 5.3 kHz accurately displays your heart rate in real-time on the screen of your fitness device. This upgraded chest strap is designed for anyone who wants to train more purposefully at home: from the dedicated home athlete to anyone who simply wants to know what a workout does to their body. Thanks to the encoded 5.3 kHz signal, the band is now fully compatible with the standard used by many fitness devices and sports watches, allowing you to see reliable heart rate data instantly.

The VirtuFit Universal Heart Rate Band 5.3 kHz at a glance:

• Accurate heart rate in real-time on your screen
• Encoded 5.3 kHz signal without interference
• Polar compatible with many fitness devices
• Comfortable strap that fits any chest
• Hypoallergenic, latex-free nylon strap
• Up to 650 hours on one replaceable battery
• Easy to detach and clean

The greatest advantage of this heart rate band lies in the combination of accuracy and convenience. With chest electrodes, the band measures your heart rate between 30 and 240 bpm with a deviation of only ±2 bpm, and thanks to the encoded signal, you won’t be bothered by other heart rate bands nearby. There's no setup required: just put it on, turn it on, and your device picks up the signal. With a battery life of 650 hours, the band will last through seasons before you need to replace it.

Training by heart rate

Once you wear the band around your chest, the sensor continuously sends a wireless signal to your fitness device or sports watch. This way, you can see exactly what effect your effort has and use your device's heart rate-controlled programmes. This means you train not on feel but in the zone that suits your goal: gentle recovery, fat burning, or an intensive interval workout. The band connects to one device at a time and is great for use during running in combination with a 5.3 kHz sports watch.

Comfort and fit

The adjustable nylon strap fits any chest size from 65 to 95 centimetres, making it suitable for the whole family. The material is hypoallergenic and latex-free, lies smoothly against the skin, and moves with you without pinching. Weighing only 23 grams, you hardly notice the band while exercising, ensuring your freedom of movement remains completely intact. The compact sensor module measures 66 x 38 x 14.5 millimetres and sits flat against the body without being in the way.

Maintenance and battery

After your workout, you can easily detach the sensor from the band. The band itself is machine washable, and you can wipe the sensor with a damp cloth. The sensor has an IP67 rating, making it resistant to sweat and splashes, but it is not suitable for swimming. The band operates on a replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery that is already installed, so you can get started right away. When the battery eventually runs out, you can replace it yourself without tools.

Important to know

The VirtuFit Universal Heart Rate Band 5.3 kHz works exclusively with equipment that supports a 5.3 kHz signal. The band does not have Bluetooth or ANT+, meaning it cannot be paired with smartphones, tablets, or training apps. So, check beforehand whether your fitness device or watch is suitable for a 5.3 kHz chest strap.
