Agree, I wish this would have a little bit more features so it can be used 24/7 to monitor and give you overall health statistics (i.e. sleep patterns, etc...). Not everyone wants a smart watch and Polar is the closest thing I would be willing to wear. I prefer my standard automatic watches :)
Thank you! I didn't want to buy a smart watch or a fitness tracker because I don't want something to track everything I do, just wanna track my workout. Gonna buy this!
Thanks for this. I've been trying to learn how the app works and how I can track what happens to me during a 45min elliptical session. Now I know. Perfect.
Loved the section where you actually used the Polar app. That was something I don't see in the other videos I have watched. When you did the burpees live on the app it really showed me what I wanted to see in how the app worked to show the actual heart rate. I need to keep an eye on it as I exercise since I do have a heart condition. So I really appreciate the review of the paired app. I am guessing it works pretty much the same for android. A complete review also on the strap and how to wet etc. really helped me make an informed decision and know how to use it when I get it for a real readout. So a great review. Below is not a review of your H10 review. I'm not a fitness coach but the way you did your overhead press scared me. Looks like you were using you back way too much. I go to a Les Mills class at my gym (body pump) and they emphasize not to swing it back and forward like you did so as to protect your back. I have had a back issue before and it is painful when the back goes out. Les Mills always say keep the bar next to your body as it goes up and flip the wrist as it goes up. As I said, I'm not a fitness coach so take it for what it is worth.
This is the first Fitbit I have used. It has some new features ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbkrje8Y7BaqRkAjimw-55ajvVo7RbcIp and I like the information that it gives me.I think the phone app could be designed to be a bit more accommodating, as it can be confusing to use. The rubber band is comfortable, and normally I do not like rubber bands for my watches, but this is comfortable.I am looking forward to seeing if this helps me stay accountable in my fitness endeavors!My only gripe is the box was very damaged when it arrived, however, the tracker is performing perfectly!
I want to be able to tell it to alert me when my heart rate hits a certain number, since I'm using HR training in my runs. So, I would want to be able to tell it "Alert me when I get to 130bpm", for example, so I know to ease off a bit to stay in my personal Zone 2 (under 130). Am I able to do that with this app? And, would I need to wear earphones in order to be able to hear it alert me from my phone? (Or, can I set it to vibrate when I hit my specified HR, so I don't have to wear earbuds on my runs?)
Ended up getting a Wahoo Tickr chest strap and linking it to my Garmin Forerunner, and receiving the alarms via the watch. Then, after doing that for a while, I gave up on monitoring my heart rate and now go by perceived effort. I still check my HR after each run just out of curiosity, but I gave up on trying to stay in what is supposedly my Zone 2. My options were either walking in Zone 1, or running stupid slow in Zones 3/4 (according to MAF). I now use the "can I breathe through my nose" and "can I have a conversation" tests instead. While successfully passing those tests, MAF thinks I'm in Zone 3 or 4 and am gonna die. Whatever.
@@TR-wm3sg haha yeah fair enough, it definitely can be frustrating trying to stay in zone and keep track of it, I’m new to it but nearly punched out the elliptical machine that wasn’t showing the heart rate, hopefully I have some luck with the chest strap
Hi. Good video. Thanks for posting it. I was wondering if it's possible to ask the monitor to let you know or warn you when your heart’s bpm rareaches a set figure?
fml... so happy I watched this, I've had the h10 for months... I have been putting it on like a t-shirt for months... I didn't know that button was a button....sigh.
@@jerrymacias6223 The best way to preserve the battery is to disconnect the heart rate monitor from the strap. If it's connected the battery may continually drain. Do you usually keep them together?
I would say one of these would be your best choice if your main goal is sports tracking. Not only the accuracy, but also the battery life, waterproofness, form factor, durability and many other things speak for this instead of say, a wrist device. And, if you want, you can always have both :)
@@SchuyFit Yep. I got it after I had a couple Fitbits. The first, a Charge 3, I bought to track sleep. It showed me I sleep just fine but for too short a time. I thought okay, nice to know, will sleep more from now on, and gave it to a girlfriend. The second, 2 years later, I got on loan from a friend to track workouts. A charge 2. The bands break all the time after a while, and it's silly to have to charge a device once a week for basically a couple hours of use - and buy new straps as well. So went for a H10, which is cheaper than a wrist device anyway, plus the aforementioned benefits. Only thing I'm missing is to have the HR reading on my wrist - without buying an expensive smart watch. Looking out for a used Polar Loop with a long enough strap, since most are cut short.
@@AleksiJoensuu I totally agree that the reading on a watch would be so helpful. But thankfully most things you can keep your phone around just in case.
@@SchuyFit Sure! It's just not really handy to dig your phone out of your pocket if you're doing HIIT runs, or shoveling snow in -10 celsius, or trying to whack people in the noggin with padded weapons wearing a heckton of armor aaand so on. Trouble is, most devices these days that could display the information from the chest strap are smart watches or fitness bands themselves and cost upwards of 100€ - and if you only need it for displaying a single thing, that's an annoying price to pay. So, "craigslist" or whatever the local version is it shall be, hoping to find a simple device.
@Fred Forbes it has that nickel shaped battery (CR 2025) in that oval piece that you button onto the chest strap! Polar says that it has 400 hours of use before you need to replace it so you should be good for a long time!
Great review, I also bought one and it just arrived. Met a problem when I tried to pair the Monitor with my iPhone on the Polar Beat app, it just kept pairing and never got done. I want to ask that did anybody meet this problem? Did I skip any step while pairing?
Thank you for the review. You showing that app, and like if I start running, but I am using Garmin, so I do not need to "Start" run through this app? I just connect strap to the Garmin?
What is the point of selecting an activity? What does the app do (or tell you) different between hiking and walking? Hiking is walking but on dirt and usually with some hills. That's about it so why have the selections? Is it only so you can customize the Heart Rate Zones or what? Set different alarms? Or is it just strictly to monitor and save data by activity? If that's the case can you create custom activities like hiking a particular trail vs a different trail? What about RUN/WALK sessions?
Great video, thanks for doing it. Does this monitor have the ability to set a heart rate range that I want to stay within, with an alarm if I go above or below that range? Thank you,
You would need a fitness tracker like a Garmin, Apple Watch, Fit Bit or Suntuu (etc) watch to pair this strap with. Those devices can be set to alert you of HR Zone breach (among many other metrics). The purpose of the chest strap is to offer the most accurate collection of heart rate data...more so than the native capability of the watch style fitness monitors that use optical sensors vice EKG style sensors used in the Polar H9/H10.
I wanted to see someone demonstrate using this for tracking walking with an Apple Watch (and iPhone) before buying one of these. The Apple Watch heart rate tracking is pretty hit-or-miss, but the integration with the iPhone health app is great. So I was hoping this would solve the problem. I'm still not sure if it will.
@@erin758 Yeah. I've seen a bunch of his videos. He's a great reviewer and very very thorough. I now use the Polar H10 daily, and have the Apple Watch Series 8 (i.e. the newest one, but not the Ultra). The H10 pairs seamlessly with Apple Watch, but the Apple Watch heart rate monitor itself (which the Quantified Scientist didn't seem to have any complaints about) ... well in my case, it only reads my heart rate when I am walking 20% of the time? It's pretty worthless, to be honest. But the apple watch + Polar H10 is perfect. I just feel like I'm wearing a bra or something. Even so, I'd recommend the H10 to ANYONE who wants a reliable read of their heart rate while exercising. The Apple Watch simply doesn't even come close in terms of getting a constant uninterrupted reading.
Ciao, Hi, from Italy, Verona. Excuse me for my english, i wanto to ask you about the differences between the Polar H10 and the Polar H09. I mean the only difference is that with the H10 i can connect two devices, right? is this the only difference? Thank you for your reply, ciao, goodbye.
The problem is that you cannot have a quick glance at real time heart rate when jogging unless you wanna be holding your smartphone in one hand and unlocking your smartphone screen everytime to look at your heart rate... ..
This was helpful, I think. I just got my Ph10 and when I downloaded the app it looked NOTHING like what you show. So I am wondering if I downloaded the wrong app. In fact what I downloaded was really complicated, I mean I had to give permission to track EVERYTHING!!! I also was swamped with commercials, which was not helpful. Also I thought this counted steps and monitored sleep, but you say it is only for workouts. The strap is tight. I am not a big guy, 68in 210lbs and the chest strap at its full length is uncomfortable, so I am glad it does not track sleep. The app is so bloody complicated, that I have yet to use it. My job doesn't allow me to carry my phone on me, (I walk 18,000-26,000 steps a day) will the tracker hold everything in memory so when I get off work I can download it to the app? When I get the app that you and the other people are using that is.
Sizing is so confusing. I wear a small size shirt and my chest measures about 39" where the monitor is worn. The M-XXL states that is for 26"-36". I'm 39 and in no way an XXL. What's going on here? I understand that it's flexible but how flexible? Should I get the small and expect it to expand?
Thank you for taking the time to do this 👍! I've read some customer reviews that say you need to pay for the premium app to get all the metrics. What you showed looked great! Is that info part of the free Polar companion app? Thanks
Hi. Great video. Would love your opinion on the H10 for the following person. Only need to Track Heart Rate. Specifically, want to track the Heart Rate during the night - see if it exceeds a certain range. Therefore, it would NOT be a "workout", just a 6-8 hour monitor of heart activity. Would this work for that purpose? Ideally, it would be nice to be able to set a Max Heart Rate (bpm) to see if the exceeded that threshold (like Garmin Venu 2, but it does not look like the Polar 10 software provides for Alarm thresholds? Thanks
very professional beautiful review I loved when you tried the app while exercising, I have two questions if you can answer thanks in advance, do you put strap on the rib cage bones or lower? does this devices measure RR intervals? Thanks
I’m having problems keeping the polar 10 Connected. Tried turning Bluetooth off and on, removing device , then letting it find it, but I always get message “unsuccessful pair”. Suggestions?
Great review. For me real time heart rate is extremely important. I have been using Fitbit Charge 3. It has some lag time and does not give true real time HR. It will show your HR but you have to twist your wrist just right to get it. Accuracy with the Fitbit is not so good when working out. Polar does need to give more information on the chest strap as far as how to use with phone, etc.
Yeah, the fitbit isn't as accurate, you're going to struggle finding a super accurate wristband. Definitely a good move for a chest strap for accuracy, what type of training are you using it for?
@@SchuyFit Arobic exercise. While standing on a 6 inch foam balance pad I bounce a tennis ball between both hands. It works most of the core muscles, upper body and hands. It is very easy to get to and maintain a level that is considered cardio.
I got one as gift after being inactive for years but I need to know if it has real time heart rate display if I connect my Samsung watch with it if it can?
Is there any way to get the H10 connected to an app that would speak your pulse out loud periodically? This would be helpful when running and you don't want to deal with a specialized (and expensive) watch. Your phone could just speak the pulse every minute, or when trigger conditions are reached.

Hello I have a question! Can I use this only with my ipad? I do not have any Polar products, but iam going to buy the H10. Thank you for your answer in advance
Thanks for your review!! I don't exercise (rowing & running) carrying my phone. Does the H10 RECORD all my exercise data then sync up with my phone (Polar Beat) when back in proximity? If not, is there a Polar product that does store the data then sync when back close to my phone? Thanks again for your review!
Hy! Could you help me with the Polar H10 device? I need to know if I can create a setting in any application that alerts me when my heart rate is outside a certain range (not necessarily a zone). So, I set the range myself, and it notifies me if I'm outside of it.
I need it to track tachycardia. Would this be it? I bought it but it’s either dead or?? I can’t even get it to Work. But after Watching the video I think it’s more for workouts. Thoughts?
Great video!! Thanks.. :) I’m confused between buying this vs the Apple watch se. The goal is just heart rate and fitness tracking. Just a bit worried if the strap would be comfortable around my chest or will it slide down every now and again? Did you experience any such inconvenience in that regard Sir?
I did not! The strap is super comfortable and works great. If it's just for the workout heart rate data, go with the polar! If you want other data whoop may be a better option.
help, it keeps flipping over when changing levels such as getting on and off a bench or picking stuff up off the floor am i wearing it too tight or not tight enough
Does it need to be connect to your cell phone the entire time or will it update when get back in proximity? For example, if you wear it during a martial arts class will all the data still be collected?
Is there a fitness tracker that I can wear on my wrist that will connect to this chest strap monitor and beep at me signaling when my HR reaches a top and bottom end that I set for my interval workouts?
I have to look into this to use it along with my Vantage V. I swim so using the app on phone is a pain in daylight. But I can control it from my Apple watch 6. I use the other polar app for the watch ad well. I need to just use watch, then is it automatic?
any chance of giving us a clue on where to find the correct APP? I can't find the one you are using... Polar Beat app does not track or at least i can't get it to track. please help.
Do you need wifi or cell phone data to be able to use the app? I want to use the monitor and have the app open at the same time and track my rowing pace but I don’t have wifi will it still work?
It does not! You could put it under aerobics or other. The type is really for your reference and not much else. And I love Peru! I’ll be heading to Machu Picchu soon

@@jerrymacias6223 Totally agree! What makes you say that?
@@SchuyFit I see that you have it in the background.
If i connect a H 10 with a GridXPro, which puls is calculated, if i make a training session on the gridxpro? H 10 or optical through the wrist?
Great review. For me real time heart rate is extremely important. I have been using Fitbit Charge 3. It has some lag time and does not give true real time HR. It will show your HR but you have to twist your wrist just right to get it. Accuracy with the Fitbit is not so good when working out. Polar does need to give more information on the chest strap as far as how to use with phone, etc.
Yeah, the fitbit isn't as accurate, you're going to struggle finding a super accurate wristband. Definitely a good move for a chest strap for accuracy, what type of training are you using it for?
@@SchuyFit Arobic exercise. While standing on a 6 inch foam balance pad I bounce a tennis ball between both hands. It works most of the core muscles, upper body and hands. It is very easy to get to and maintain a level that is considered cardio.

I got one as gift after being inactive for years but I need to know if it has real time heart rate display if I connect my Samsung watch with it if it can?
can you wear the strap around your arms for the H10??
Amazing review, I was wondering can we sync the data from Polar beat to Samsung Health app? Thank you!
Is there any way to get the H10 connected to an app that would speak your pulse out loud periodically? This would be helpful when running and you don't want to deal with a specialized (and expensive) watch. Your phone could just speak the pulse every minute, or when trigger conditions are reached.
Does it sync with my fitness pal/Fitbit Versa 3?
Do you need to have your phone with you at all times and/or what is the distance that your phone can be if for instance I am playing soccer
Wondering if this hrm would link up to a watch?

What size strap did you order? I am trying to decide between Small and Medium
Hello I have a question! Can I use this only with my ipad? I do not have any Polar products, but iam going to buy the H10. Thank you for your answer in advance
Thanks for your review!! I don't exercise (rowing & running) carrying my phone. Does the H10 RECORD all my exercise data then sync up with my phone (Polar Beat) when back in proximity? If not, is there a Polar product that does store the data then sync when back close to my phone? Thanks again for your review!
I would also like to know this? Can I leave my phone in the house while going for a run or not?
Hy!
Could you help me with the Polar H10 device? I need to know if I can create a setting in any application that alerts me when my heart rate is outside a certain range (not necessarily a zone). So, I set the range myself, and it notifies me if I'm outside of it.
Hi, does the chest strap work with the series 6 Apple Watch ? thank you
Yep! The Polar h10 should have no problems connecting with the apple watch. Are you considering buying one?
@@SchuyFit does the app show, real time tracking, like the heart rate? and does it allow you to set up heart rate alerts on the phone?
I need it to track tachycardia. Would this be it? I bought it but it’s either dead or?? I can’t even get it to Work. But after Watching the video I think it’s more for workouts. Thoughts?
Great video!! Thanks.. :) I’m confused between buying this vs the Apple watch se. The goal is just heart rate and fitness tracking. Just a bit worried if the strap would be comfortable around my chest or will it slide down every now and again? Did you experience any such inconvenience in that regard Sir?
I did not! The strap is super comfortable and works great. If it's just for the workout heart rate data, go with the polar! If you want other data whoop may be a better option.
@@SchuyFit Thank you so much for your super swift response!! Keep up the good work Sir! :)
I need a help. Why I don’t have ekg in my app.. just HF AND FETFIT .. thanx
is it possible to display current data on some wrist band ?
Hi brothers can i use it for my horse to check the heart rate after training pls advice
help, it keeps flipping over when changing levels such as getting on and off a bench or picking stuff up off the floor
am i wearing it too tight or not tight enough
Is it possible to pair the H10 with Samsung Health ?
Does it need to be connect to your cell phone the entire time or will it update when get back in proximity? For example, if you wear it during a martial arts class will all the data still be collected?
I can make it warn me if I surpass or fall below a certain heart rate? I mean, I cannot always look at my phone when I am running.
Did you try using the suana, FOR SCIENCE? 😮😊
Can I use the app for team training? If we have multiple straps?
Does it show history from previous work outs ?
Does the polar h10 sync up with the apple health app?
Is there a fitness tracker that I can wear on my wrist that will connect to this chest strap monitor and beep at me signaling when my HR reaches a top and bottom end that I set for my interval workouts?
Does this work with the under Armour mapmyrun app?
Is the app included/free with the sensor? Does the app allow for setting specific heart rate training zones?
Yes
Can the H10 track the VO2 Max after an Elliptical cross trainer workout?
Does the app have a setting for boxing?
Hi, can you please tell me if this Polar H10 can sync data with Huawei Health App? Best regards
Can you connect it to a coros watch ??
Good review! I prefer to use this along with a Polar Ignite fitness watch. I like all of the options!
That's a great tip! How do you like the Polar Ignite?
I have to look into this to use it along with my Vantage V. I swim so using the app on phone is a pain in daylight. But I can control it from my Apple watch 6. I use the other polar app for the watch ad well. I need to just use watch, then is it automatic?
do you dry off the strap after wetting? can ou download data?
What app are you using? Polar beet or flow?
Hi, thanks for the video! Does Polar H10 measure running dynamics like vertical oscillation, ground contact time, stride length?
No.
Does it have an alarm or warning if u get past your max heart rate?
any chance of giving us a clue on where to find the correct APP? I can't find the one you are using... Polar Beat app does not track or at least i can't get it to track. please help.
Do you need wifi or cell phone data to be able to use the app? I want to use the monitor and have the app open at the same time and track my rowing pace but I don’t have wifi will it still work?
Is there not a watch I can pair with this so I can keep track of my HR in real time?
Can you measure hrv with this without a watch??
Hi can I set max heart rate alert?
Would it slip off during long runs?
Can i connect this with my vivoactiv 4?
Hii, awesome video ! Do you know If the app has the option to track a jump rope workout ?
Greetings from Peru btw
It does not! You could put it under aerobics or other. The type is really for your reference and not much else.
And I love Peru! I’ll be heading to Machu Picchu soon
Do you have to run with your phone? Or will it store and dump data?
What is battery time on this HR monitor? Should it be disconnected when not in use, to save battery?
400 hrs. Bluetooth will disconnect automatically based on enough separation from the source.
