Review on Polar H10 Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor, Compatible with iPhone & Android - Black Chest Strap HRM by Alvin Ng ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Satisfactory product quality, good price.

In general, the impressions are positive. Accurately counts the pulse, keeps a diary. Of the minuses, the software could be noticeably better, the functionality could be richer. Not an old bracelet yet, but many fitness watches can do more. True, of course, they have a main problem with measuring the pulse and some workouts. Is it not convenient to do the bench press here. In general, the thing is more good than bad. But think a few times before you buy how much you need all this. It is possible that a good fitness bracelet / watch is enough for you.

Pros
  • Very accurate pulse count. Not bad software, but not without significant drawbacks (more on them below). Lots of sports, Les Miles workout presets are crammed in if anyone needs them, there is a fitness test that measures your cardio fitness level, and divides your fitness into six levels comparing it with other people. Polar Flow, which provides a handy training diary and running training program. In general, all this can be done by yourself in a notebook or Word, but here everything is already at once and automatically. The strap is comfortable and does not rub.
Cons
  • Well, firstly, a small battery charge. Only about 400 hours. However, it is easy to replace it, but in the Polar company store they recommend changing it only for 600, it seems, which is ridiculous, because changing the battery is very simple, although according to reviews, not all of them work correctly. The strap can wear out, and this is almost half the cost, which is somehow not very good. There are two main problems. Doesn't work well with third party apps. It connects every other time and according to an incomprehensible algorithm, while it works perfectly with its own. The native program does not work without connecting to GPS, although third-party programs, if you accidentally managed to connect, work without GPS, but why do I need it, for example, in the gym? Unclear. But the battery naturally eats. Secondly, this very GPS counts very badly - what it depends on is not clear. It's most likely a program bug, since other programs do everything exactly, and it's definitely not the phone (many Polar watches have the same joke). Maybe you can calculate a distance of 2-3 kilometers with real 10, or maybe quite the opposite. This does not affect the calculation of calories burned, but in itself is stupid. The route will remain the same. And I would not say that this is a rare mistake for me. When synchronized with Polar Flow, it will show your routes under your, for example, Google account - to other people. I couldn't find where to turn it off. Does not show arrhythmia, if any.

Pros below: The device works :) It connects to the simulators by itself and shows the pulse - convenient :) The strap holds well, does not slip when running. Different cons: The strap must be washed after training - otherwise in a week it will stink like old socks (or even worse) :)) it's not very convenient . where to put the wet strap?
