Want to make sure there is a chest strap that comes with this one?

When I bought this back in December of 2010 (not sure if it's the exact same model) it did come with a chest strap. Now, speaking of straps, the wrist strap broke in less than a year, rendering the watch useless since the wrist strap is an integral part of the watch and not user-replaceable. At all. So check to see if they've updated the watch!

Yea there is, it worked good, but I returned this because my gyms equipment interfaces with "Polar" and polar also keeps more history. If you are just looking for a straight up HR monitor then this works.

I don't know... you can not see a shoulder strap in the photo nor do they refer to one in the description.

It does come with one, however, it's a slim one (about 1/2") and I never felt it to be comfortable. For less than $20 you can get a wider more comfortable strap so I wouldn't make that one of my buying decisions

Yes the HRM with the chest strap does come with it. And it is surprisingly comfortable.

Yes it does include a chest strap, monitor unit and watch; however, I was only able to connect the watch to the monitor unit fewer than a dozen times. I sent the watch back in favor of a more reliable one.

I purchased mine a few years back now but at the time at least the chest strap WAS included.

Mine did not have a strap, (as far as I recall). There is the facility to attach a strap. I agree with the comment above that a strap seems risky with such an expensive item.

Yes it comes with a chest strap. The strap has a device that sends your heart rate to the wrist device. The strap is made of an elastic material that is adjustable. I am a 48 regular and it adjusted out to fit just fine.

No it does not have a chest strap, not really needed, it's very comfortable and secure with out it. But to answer your question No it does not! Hope that helps

The Maxxum does have a chest strap, and it's east to use and comfortable. After nearly a year of frequent use, I'm completely satisfied with the Maxxum.

If I remember correctly it said it didn't come with one and suggested I order one. So I did. Then when it came it did have one with it. I called or emailed about sending the extra one back and they sent me a refund and told me to just keep it. We ended up not even needing the center strap at all. So now I have 2 straps just gathering dust in a closet somewhere. Hope this helps.

Requires the chest strap. The one that comes with it is comfortable enough.

You do not need a chest strap, but I can not make the heart rate monitor work! I quit using it after a couple of weeks.

Yes it comes with a chest strap that monitors your heart rate on your watch. When I am on the treadmill my heart rate shows up on the treadmill monitor also. V

Hello Blake, no a strap doesn't come with it. But my son, says he is able to breathe easier with it.

This version - the HRM version does include a chest strap. You can also buy a version without HRM.
