Review on ๐Ÿƒ Polar H10 Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap - ANT+ Bluetooth, Waterproof HR Sensor for Men and Women (New) - Improved for SEO by Jesse Hughes

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Bad for swimming but good for everything else.

I bought this monitor for swimming. I also have H7 but it's not waterproof. This heart rate monitor is good because it supports ANT+ and BlueTooth. So I like this HR monitor. But if you're using it for swimming, it's just not accurate. I've tried wearing it in many different ways than Polar suggests. My body is athletically built and maybe that's why I lose contact with my skin when my muscles contract. I have no idea why he's losing my heart rate. I wore a trisuit with this heart rate monitor to keep the heart rate monitor against my chest for constant contact. no luck. It always seems to me that when I swim, my heart rate drops for some reason. I would rate it higher as well, but the only reason I bought it is for the swimming. I will say it performed better than the Garmin Tri which was also made for swimming. This heart rate monitor has no problem keeping the battery dry and changing the battery is much easier than the Garmin Tri HR monitor which requires screws. I hope swimmers have better luck than me with this heart rate monitor.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
