" ... Much more accurate than my old fit bit heart rate monitor, and more handy. ... Sync to a phone with Polar Beat installed and heart rate is visible right during the workout. ... "
" ... The Polar H10 heart rate sensor is a simple strap with the added sensor attached via two snaps. ... If you want better analytics for your workouts, consider the Polar H10 heart rate sensor as a vital accessory. ... "
" ... Works great so far, seems to be pretty accurate with any other HR monitor device. ... "
" ... I bought this to track HRV more than heart rate and I am not disappointed. ... "
" ... It's my 6th or 7th HR monitor and easily the best. ... If you want accurate HR then strap seems to be a must (at least with today's consumer HR monitors) and among strap-based monitors the Polar H10 is one of the best, if not the best. ... "
" ... But I can't hit the ground like a burpee with it on my chest. ... "
" ... It’s the most accurate monitor I’ve used. ... "
" ... Polar is cited in multiple peer reviewed papers on HRV (heart rate variability) as being one of the go to options for proven accuracy and affordability on the market. ... "

" ... The Polar Flow & Beat apps leave a lot to be desired and require extra payment for access to all the features, which was a bummer considering the cost of this device. ... "
" ... Great with Elite HRV app. ... "
" ... Works great with phone app ... "
" ... There was a little bit of a learning curve for me with the polar beat and flow apps. ... "
" ... The basic app gives me what I need right now. ... "
" ... That is what I bought it for and I have been very impressed with those as well as battery life and the free polar apps that you can use to pair the device to your phone ... "
" ... As long as you keep the app displayed it does fine. ... But if you switch apps, example to a music control app, Beats STOPS!!!! ... "

" ... When I originally realized it had stopped working, I contacted Polar and did some troubleshooting. ...

Another month goes by . ... "
