Overview

The Garmin 010-10714-00 is a replacement elastic chest strap for a Garmin wireless heart rate monitor. It wraps around your chest to hold the monitor in place when the original strap has stretched out or the closure has worn down, and it comes in black.

This is a wearable accessory, not a boat-mounted part. It is often used by sailors, paddlers, and crew who track effort during training sessions, race days, or dockside workouts while sending heart rate data to compatible Garmin devices.

Key features

• Replacement elastic strap that restores fit when your existing heart rate monitor strap is worn
• Worn around the chest to keep the heart rate monitor positioned for consistent contact
• Black strap for a low-visibility look under a shirt, rash guard, or foul-weather layers
• Listed compatibility with Garmin devices including Edge, eTrex, fenix, Forerunner, Foretrex, FR60/FR70, GPSMAP, Montana, Monterra, Oregon, tactix, and vivofit
• Useful when the monitor still functions but the strap needs to be swapped out

Compatibility and fit

This strap is intended for Garmin chest-worn heart rate monitor setups that use an elastic band. If your Garmin heart rate monitor system uses a different style of band or an all-in-one sensor format, confirm the strap type before ordering.

For onboard use, the main fit question is comfort and stability under motion. Make sure you can wear it snugly without restricting breathing, especially if you will also be wearing a PFD or harness.

Installation and care

Swap your worn strap out as part of your normal heart rate monitor setup, then adjust it so it sits snugly on the chest and stays put when you move. A slightly damp shirt or a small amount of moisture on the contact area can help with comfort during long sessions.

After exposure to salt spray or sweat, a quick rinse with fresh water and air drying helps keep the elastic from getting stiff over time.

Use on board

This strap is a good match for boat owners and crew who already rely on a Garmin chest heart rate monitor and want to keep that setup going for sailing, paddling, or fitness training without replacing the full system. It also makes sense as a small spare to keep in a gear bag for regattas or multi-day trips.
