Heart-rate sensor for fitness tracking

The HTC HS500 is a chest-strap heart-rate monitor built for athletes who want reliable data during cycling, running, football and gym sessions. It pairs with iOS and Android apps such as Zwift, Strava, TrainerRoad and Nike Run Club using both ANT+ and Bluetooth protocols. The sensor wakes in under one second and weighs 56 g with packaging.

IP67 waterproof rating and long battery life

Rated IP67, the strap resists sweat and rain but is not recommended for swimming. A replaceable CR2032 coin cell delivers up to 800 hours of operating time and 800 hours of standby time. An LED flashes ten times to confirm a live connection and heart-rate detection before turning off automatically.

Replaces basic wrist sensors or older straps

This unit upgrades users who find wrist-based optical sensors inaccurate during high-intensity intervals or who need dual-protocol support for multiple training platforms. It is not suited for swimmers or anyone who prefers a screen on the strap itself.

Questions about this item

How do I install the HS500 chest strap and what step do people often miss?

Moisten the sensor pads, wrap the strap around your chest with the module centred, then pair it inside your fitness app — not in the phone's Bluetooth menu — or the connection will not complete.

What maintenance will the HS500 need later?

Replace the CR2032 coin cell when the LED stops flashing after roughly 800 hours of use; the battery is user-replaceable and no other servicing is required.

What limit appears first during long workouts with the HS500?

The IP67 rating protects against sweat and rain but the manufacturer advises against swimming, so continuous immersion is the practical limit.
