Polar H10 Heart Rate Sensor

A fantastic heart rate sensor! I recently had a heart attack and was looking for something to monitor my heart during recovery and walks. Firstly I tried a Fitbit Charge 6 and was extremely disappointed at the lack of functionality with regards to a dedicated HR screen. It's just an overpriced fancy watch with some exercise stuff. So I took a peek at Polar, after a recommendation from a friend (who is in the Navy and uses these for fitness tests). They're far cheaper than a Fitbit, easy to use, have an easy to use app with GPS to track your routes and it saves all the data collected onto your phone to review as time goes on. I've used this a couple of times and it feels okay, doesn't come off while walking, is fairly comfortable and simple to put on/take off. If you're looking for a more HR and ECG based device, definitely choose this rather than a Fitbit!

I bought this to use with my Garmin Fenix 5s and it works perfectly, and connects instantly when I start a work out. You can use this swimming, running, gym or cycling so it is a Triatholon strap where as Garmin have a seperate Tri version and run version. I choose Polar because when it comes to heart rate monitoring they are super accurate, and if the battery on my Garmin dies I can record my workout on my phone and input it later. You can also record your workout/swim session without a phone and upload it later with the Polar strap. I've read Garmin can be akward giving out live under water readings because they use the older ant+ technology which has distance limitations and water affects all wrist sensors, also their tri strap isn't as comfortable. On the other hand Polar uses the 5Khz transmition so it can give live data while swimming (which I can use my Polar RCX5 as 5khz will not work with Garmin). Previously I have had Polar's coded T31 strap and their H2, both were very comfortable, lasted ages and were accurate. This one has Bluetooth so it is compatible with Garmin devises that have Bluetooth, unlike Garmin heart rate straps it is also compatible with gym equipment at my gym, and connects to both the machine and my Garmin at the same. However the H10 can only have one Bluetooth connection at a time. I have used the H10 with the Polar Beat app on my iphone 7 and it works very well. Especially considering it's free I'm impressed, and if you want more features in the app you can pay for add-ons at very reasonable prices. The H10 is very responsive and accurate, when my heart rate drops it drops quick and quicker than my H2 did. It is also quicker and more accurate than the wrist sensors in my Garmin watch, which like most wrist heart rate monitors they aren't brilliant with HIIT workouts. All in all it's one of the easiest 5 star reviews I've made, with the only small negative is that if you want more running statistics when using this with a Garmin watch you might need the Garmin running Pod, otherwise this is an excellent all-round, multi-sport heart rate strap.

So the H10 is very good heart rate monitor. Works well during exercise, stretching, running, hiking and martial arts - generally fits nicely and snugly on the chest during all physical activity - that you can forget that it is on. Connection with smartphone during recording exercise - it is very well, it can loose connection if you are using other app requiring the GPS access, then you need to refresh the app (polar beat - just refresh) as other wise it will stop working due to some issues with multitasking and sharing processing at the smart phone. Alto it is work well if you use option of the recording the exercise with the H10 heart sensor and download after you finish. IT works well with watch, no problem at all, no loosing signal, very accurate. The software and app is extremely good and user friendly, providing very good analytical data, and information which you need in nice easy to read format. Compared to the Sunnto, and Garmin software - the way how the data is collected and presented was winner for me to choose the Polar chest heart rate H10. As did not have chance to test it in the water as the swimming - can not comment on that. It works well at the rain and storm weather when you are completely soaked tho :) The strap itself is good size with length regulation. Is has some silicon bumps which helps to keep it nice and comfortable in one place, so it not move around during the high activity exercises. It is very easy to change battery - which make this product last very long. Tested it connected to the watch and smartphone at the same time as it support simultaneously twin connection into the two devices at the same time!!! as well as it can work with one device, and on its own, no need to take phone with you - if you click in the app start recording with the sensor rather life recording with the app, then you can just go with the sensor and when you finish just download the information to the phone. So yes I would recommend it.

This heart rate strap is a real game-changer. The accuracy is insane, way better than any watch sensor. It connects to all my gear without any issues (Bluetooth and ANT+) and is so comfortable I forget I'm even wearing it. Plus, the strap is washable and you can change the battery yourself. If you're looking for a reliable heart rate monitor, just get this one. 10/10, highly recommend

Estoy encantado La uso para Crossfit, correr y bici. No la he probado en el agua, pero debe ir bien igual. Se ajusta muy bien y no molesta. La uso sin reloj, solo con la app en el móvil. La app polar beat esta muy lograda. Me gusta mucho y es bastante información. Me motiva bastante y no puedo entrenar sin ella. Te das cuenta de cómo estás físicamente y de la caña que tes has dado de una manera objetiva. Si la usas con el móvil puedes elegir ir viendo los datos en el teléfono y que el telefono actúe de GPS para ver el recorrido, desnivel.... Además sincroniza con Strava que da mejor info de carrerra. Para Crossfit o si no quieres GPS y eso, puedes elegir que el entreno se grabe en el pulsometro y olvidarte del teléfono. Solo inicias el entreno en la app y puedes dejar el móvil en casa o la taquilla. Parece resistente y bien acabada. Mucho más fiable que los pulsos metros de muñeca, que fallan y no son precisos. Se conecta al instante con máquinas de gym. Creo que la talla S solo vale para mujeres....

Comme d’habitude chez ce fabriquant finlandais, c’est du haut de gamme et vraiment à la pointe. Le cardio très bien adapté a une multitude de sport. Dans mon cas je l’utilise pour le running et le vélo (VTC surtout). La sangle pectorale est bien conçue et très confortable, elle se fait totalement oublier sitôt mise et elle ne glisse pas lors des entrainements, ce qui est très agréable. Je l’utilise connecté à mon smartphone mais le H10 peut enregistrer sans aucun appareil externe jusqu’à 30 heures d’informations de fréquence cardiaque avec une précision d’une seconde. Note : ces informations sont considérées comme une seule séance d’entrainement, il faut donc synchroniser les données via l’application Power Flow avant de recommencer un entrainement. Un autre point fort du H10 est la possibilité de se connecter via Bluetooth au smartphone et via ANT+ (protocole d’interopérabilité entre matériel) pour interagir avec la plupart des appareil de fitness (vélos, rameurs, tapis de course…) et également des montres de marques autre que Polar. Note : les connections peuvent être simultanées (i.e. connections au smartphone et un appareil de fitness). Si vous possédez une GoPro vous pourrez même superposer votre fréquence cardiaque synchronisée avec la vidéo ! Il semble peu énergivore, après un mois d’utilisation Polar Beat indique que la pile est toujours à pleine capacité ; il est donné pour 400 heures d’entrainement. La pile (CR2025) se change facilement. La sangle capte les battements cardiaques à l’aide de capteurs enregistrant les signaux électriques ce qui est très précis. Coté utilisation, j’utilise Polar Beat. L’application est, en ce qui me concerne, vraiment bien conçue, très intuitive et ergonomique. Sélection de l’activité, « start » … point final. Ensuite l’application affiche les données de l’entrainement (durée, distance, fréquence cardiaque avec max et moyenne, Kcal consommés, % de graisse consommé…) et la trace GPS et carte du parcours. Toutes les séances sont historisées pour consultation ultérieure du parcours avec toutes les données. Elle dispose d’un mode permettant de calculer votre VO2 max, de 2 modes de coaching etc… tout est prévu pour optimiser votre potentiel d’entrainement. En bref, le Polar H10+ est le compagnon idéal pour tous les sportifs réguliers…

Düşündüğümüz gibi profesyonel ve kullanışlı bir ürün.

Für mich der beste Sensor am Markt. Unterstütz Bluetooth und ANT+ (seit dem letzten Update) PLUS er kann die Werte im Gerät speichern (z.b. in Verbindung mit der Polar Beat APP). Für mich die die Funktion 2 Bluetooth Geräte gleichzeitig aktiv verwenden zu können perfekt. Trainiere mit einem Ergometer - der braucht die Herzfrequenz für das Training. Zum Aufzeichnen habe ich noch eine Puls Uhr, auch diese braucht das Signal. Ansonsten müsste ich 2 Sensoren tragen (unpraktisch) oder bei der Uhr auf die Optische Messung gehen (ungenau). Der Sensor geht auch auf trockener Haut sehr gut (am besten natürlich feucht) und die Batterie (CR2025) ist billig, schnell getauscht und hält lange. Ich habe ihn in Verbindung mit einem Kettler Ergometer, der Polar Vantage V, Polar V800, Huawei 30pro (Polar Beat App) und HTC U11 (BLEVO App) - er findet immer das richtige Gerät innerhalb einiger Sekunden.
