The strap fits comfortably on your skin, does not slip and is created quickly. The actual heart rate monitor is fixed with 2 press studs and can be easily removed. The belt itself is then washed. I think that's very good.
Since I have the heart rate monitor only a few weeks, I can say nothing about the battery life. But Bluetooth 4.0 is indeed very low power consumption. Are Sportplus believe in terms of more than one year.
I can recommend the Heart Rate Monitor in any case.
