" ...  For the bike I wear the H10 heart rate strap (note my watch came with the H7).  ...  "
comment
" ...  Battery is long lasting on both, the watch and the heart rate monitor. ... Watch is easy to use and it is easy to pair with the heart rate monitor and other devices.  ...  "

" ...  I am a swimmer and this is the only fitness tracker I could find that could track heart rate while swimming.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Anyway, this is the next generation of heart rate monitors and from what I've read this may not be the best value of what's out there, but it's good for me and allowed me to keep at least most of the years of Polar data I had and continue to use. ... The ability to see on a map where you are, your rate rate, altitude, etc .  ...  "

" ...  It also records average HR, top HR, sustained training HR-you have to use a HR monitor or an optical HR sensor thru Polar.  ...  "

" ...  Amazing watch, not only does it look awesome but it has a GPS tracker and Heart rate monitor, I just wished the price was much lower then I wouldn't hesitate to buy one for my partner.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The best GPS running and training product from polar.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I would ideally give this product 2 separate reviews for the watch and the heart rate monitor. ... The V800 itself is fantastic and would probably be about a five star product but the heart-rate sensor has some major shortcomings.  ...  "

" ...  I use TrainAsOne to guide my training and it's like they are in sync.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I found Polar easier to use, pair connect, with Garmin everything from pairing to connecting was always a headache and would have to re-connect every time.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I have an Android phone and set up was really easy. ... A lot of people complain about loosing sync between their phone and watch. ... One cannot expect to leave their phone on one side of the house and expect sync communication to remain uninterrupted.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I have never any issues uploading data to the platform (desktop and App) and I am also impressed with the battery life and how quickly the GPS picks up, much faster then my other watch which is great if I do bricks with an indoor bike followed by an outdoor run.  ...  "
