Review on POLAR H10 HR Sensor: Bluetooth Enabled, 🏋️ Black, M-XXL – Advanced Accuracy for Heart Rate Monitoring by Agata Buczkowska  (B ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product for me, no problems at all.

We are pleased with the purchase. I also use it for running and strength training. It's great for cross-country skiing and rollerskiing. It works wonderfully. It is unfortunate that neither the gadget itself nor the Polar Flow app offers a control for the amount of charge remaining in the battery. Because to advances in miniaturization, it is now possible to include batteries into electronic devices. Because of this, the application requires that you always have the GPS function turned on before beginning an exercise, after which you must immediately disable the function. I hardly never find myself in need of this information. There is a great puzzle as to why the pulse is not measured when there is no GPS available. My sole experience thus far has been using the Bluetooth pairing feature with a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 smartphone, and the connection has been successful every time. It is not possible to begin recording a workout in the internal memory of the sensor from the sensor itself in order to avoid having to use a smartphone. This is a serious limitation of the product. Or at the very least, the capability within the application to skip over unimportant sections at the beginning and the finish of the workout (when the recording is started, but the workout has not yet begun or has already ended). The belt has a pleasant rubberized finish and is adjustable. Even when subjected to a wide variety of strenuous activity when cross-country skiing, it will not fall off or shift out of place if it is correctly dressed. Even when worn under relatively lightweight clothing designed for cross-country skiing, the sensor is nearly unnoticeable.

Pros
  • Accuracy as well as consistency. Construction that is of high quality. It functions accurately even when the belt is not wet. The capacity to record even an extremely lengthy workout on the device's onboard memory.
Cons
  • Because there is no signal that the battery is running low (when I arrived for the training session, I was unable to start it), you are need to always bring a backup battery with you. If you do not turn on gps when you begin using the Polar Flow software, there will be no indication of your heart rate, and nothing will be recorded. In addition, the software will not allow you to save any data.
