You need this if you want to work out properly!
UPDATE after one year: Over time, the unit started to eat through batteries MUCH faster. No idea why. As an experiment, I tried removing the battery after each use, and this solved the problem. So from now on, I just pop out the battery when I’m done, which isn’t too inconvenient. You can always check the battery level in Settings, within the app. Overall, after one year, I am still very pleased with the unit.What I use this for – Iâm a rower. I primarily use this with my Concept 2 rowing machine, and it connected right away with the PM5 on my machine. It also works flawlessly with Concept2âs app for this, called ErgData, which records your workouts on your phone and then uploads them to the Concept2 Logbook online.The âPolar Beatâ App, and website profile – To use this HR monitor, youâll need to download Polarâs âPolar Beatâ app, and create an account which will automatically sync your workouts to your account which you can see in more detail on the website. I have an Android, Iâve had no issues with the app, and I think the overall layout is clear, user-friendly, and not too bulky. Iâve also had no connectivity issues, and RARELY ever have a loss of connection or hiccup in any readings. However, I would not trust any data related to distance or pace. As seen in my screenshot, my phone interpreted my straight path down a street as totally zig-zagged. The distance and pace is not accurate as a result. But Iâm assuming this is my phoneâs GPS which is wrong, and probably(?) not the app. Luckily, I am not a runner so I personally donât care about this issue, but just pointing out that it may be an issue for some.Regarding accuracy: The accuracy of calories burned and heart rate training zones is not only based on HR, but if you know your Vo2 max and anaerobic threshold, you can input these, as well as other data, into your profile via the website to increase the overall accuracy (as seen in my screen shot). Also on the website you can analyze your individual workouts in more detail, and see a handy calendar view of them.Strap sizing – I have a 34â chest circumference. The M-XXL, when loosened to its maximum *un-stretched* length, is 35â long. When stretched, this extends to 45â or so. So if unless your chest is larger than 45â, you should be fine with the M-XXL. Also, the “turquoise” is totally BLUE in color, not aqua or greenish at all. :pPersonal use and opinions -This HR monitor has quickly and completely taken my health and fitness to another level. I seriously regret not having purchased one sooner!Iâm a high-intensity kinda person when it comes to exercise. I got hooked on HIIT once I tried it years ago. I never, ever used to bother with endurance stuff (long sessions with LOW heart rates), until I got this HR monitor, and I was advised that I needed to do more endurance work to increase my baseline aerobic fitness. It took a LOT of patience for me to slow down, and actually keep my HR between 130-140. Turns out I had truly never worked out at such low intensity. Despite thinking this low intensity stuff was useless, I stuck with it, and I was flabbergasted at the results. Within just a week of beginning long, steady state daily rows (45m-1hr):-my resting HR dropped by about 5 beats.-my blood pressure dropped to completely normal levels (Iâm 35 with an excellent bill of health, but doctors could never understand why I had BP readings that were always high. Apparently, I just needed a little more aerobic fitness!)-and this was totally unexpected: my mental stress levels decreased dramatically. I suddenly had more patience during the day, and even better appetite control. It felt like I was taking a chill pill.And this was just after ONE week.After a month: Aside from feeling a noticeable improvement in quality of life⦠My pace in rowing (at the same HR) has already improved a lot since I began, which is direct proof of an improving cardiovascular fitness. Further: I recently completed a really tough hike which I hadnât done in about 7 years. Result: it was a LOT easier this time because my HR drops much more quickly now, so I felt almost *instantly* rested as soon as the elevation would level out. Without the use of a HR monitor to control my workouts in order to properly build this baseline aerobic fitness, NONE of this would have been possible!(And by the way, the Polar Beat app recorded that entire 4 hour hike flawlessly, as my phone was tucked away in my jacket pocket with the screen off and locked, and I never had to fool with it or double-check it).Look, just buy this. Whether youâre experienced or a beginner, donât ever, ever trust your âperceived exertion.â It is NO substitute for actual data. I wasted SO many years doing that, and robbed myself of a higher level of fitness!! To achieve fitness, you need a combo of high AND low intensity, not just one or the other. And to do this, you need a HR monitor. Itâs SO simple: choose your workout and just stay in your zones! :)Hope this helps!!

Amazing inexpensive tech
The device is simple and inexpensive relative to other tech monitoring devices, but as accurate as it gets for a consumer device and the software makes it surprisingly valuable. The Polar app itself does a great job of tracking a multitude of day activities, for me so far, walking, tennis, cycle, ski and treadmill, but so many more activities that can be tracked. Then an app called sleep2 from Nukkuaa to track sleep pretty accurately without needing the more expensive watches with more features than I need. Wearing the device is a little uncomfortable at night, and the Sleep2 subscription is expensive. But for 2-3 months to see the pattern has been great.

This thing works as a great replacement to my Garmin HRM dual
Bought this to replace a crappy Garmin chest strap. So far this thing beats it every single way possible. I’ll give a little bit of a comparison below as to how it stacks up to the Garmin HRM dual.The strap.I’m a big boy at 275 pounds so I bought the larger strap to go with the unit. The garmin strap was trash. Too thin and soft and so it just rolled up with movement. The Polar strap is a little firmer though so it can better stay flat without rolling up. This is huge when it comes to comfort as when the strap rolls up it will dig into your skin a little more. The Polar strap I could probably wear all day long without issue.The unit itself – Big win for Polar.The Garmin unit at first wouldn’t detect my heart rate. Tried all the tricks from submerging it in water, licking the pads, getting all sweaty and then trying it. Nothing. Only way I was able to get it to work was buying conductive gel and using that on the pads. Next problem was once I started working out I had about 20-30 minutes before it quit working. What sucks is you wouldn’t know it though as it doesn’t display 0. Instead, it just keeps displaying the same heart rate that it was able to detect. This kind of sucks though as your heart rate could be very different, but you would never know.what makes it even worse is once the unit quits working, that’s it for the next couple hours. It WILL NOT WORK no matter what you do. Dry the strap out, clean the strap and pads, apply more gel, apply less gel, dunk the strap, dry it out again. NOTHING!Had this happen during Full Frontal 4DP test by The Sufferfest by Wahoo. Figured it was just a fluke and I’ll try again. Once again half way through the test it just quits and will not work for the next couple hours. That’s a pretty crappy deal to get half way through that test and then just have the heart rate quit working invalidating the whole test.Figured ok maybe it’s just too much. maybe I’m sweating too much, maybe my heart rate is going wonky. Who knows. Lets just do a normal training run instead that’s hopefully not quite as intensive. Again 20-30 minutes in it would just quit. This happened EVERY SINGLE TIME for any type of ride I did. This is kind of worthless. You get through any warm up, and just starting on the actual workout at which point the unit bricks itself and won’t work for the next couple hours.The Polar unit on the other hand worked right from the start. I have never used the conductive gel with unit. Hell I don’t even have to wet the strap down or anything. I just put it on and start riding.Don’t think I have had it actually drop out during an exercise. I have tested it though to see what would happen if it does quit detecting my heart rate by lifting up one side of the pads of my chest. This is another huge win in that if it does quit detecting your heart rate this will show 0. Very much unlike the garmin still displaying the last heart rate detected which is incorrect. Even if that heart rate was from 10 minutes ago.The polar unit also has the ability to be used through third party apps to detect your heart rate variability and such. You can even download apps so you can actually see the electrical signal from your heart if you really wanted to though I have no way to confirm how accurate that is. It’s just the fact that Polar opens this up for use like that unlike the garmin is a huge win.Overall I wouldn’t bother with the Garmin unit. If you are unsure which to buy, just guy the polar H10. Much better unit over all in every way.

Muito bom.

The battery lasts a very long time. This was bought with a university course in mind. Real time heart-rate, very lightweight and with an adjustable belt to resize and tighten if needed to. The electrodes need to be wet a little bit before the item is worn for it to work properly, keep that in mind.The bluetooth works as intended and requires the use of the Polar App. the only issue is the localization function on the App which will, at least inside a gymnasium, not be very helpful when it comes to locations and distances. All in all, the center piece of this review remains the heart monitor, which does a pristine job.
