Product Information

Key specs – Connectivity: Bluetooth and ANT+; Battery life: 12 months; Battery type: CR2032; Suitable for swimming: No The Polar H10 one-ups the Polar H9 because its built-in memory means it can store one training session before syncing. Moreover, it supports two simultaneous Bluetooth connections, whereas the H9 is limited to just one. Beyond that, the HRMs are nearly identical. They weigh the same, use the same coin cell battery, are both waterproof and safe for swimming, use an ECG (electric pulse) for heart rate measurements (rather than optical), and provide highly accurate results. Who It's For It definitely doesn't offer the best blend of features, affordability, and design for most people - that's reserved for something like the Forerunner 265 - but the accuracy is as good as we've ever tested in a sports watch. The ANT+ and Bluetooth support means the key connectivity bases are covered to work with apps and platforms like Zwift and it’ll play nice with Garmin watches and bike computers. There were no flaky pairing issues using it with the latest Fenix, Forerunner and Vivoactive watches. It’s waterproof up to 50 metres too, which means it can do the job of measuring heart rate in the pool or open water better than a watch will. I connected it to my Wahoo account during a couple of walks and it functioned well for that purpose. Based on the other compatible apps, you may enjoy this heart-rate monitor if you're training for a long-distance race or taking a cycling class. When I used it for strength training I don't believe I got as much out of it as I would have liked compared to if I was training for a race.

The Pixel Watch 2 may not get close to something like a Garmin in terms of training and additional sports insights, but the stellar heart features make it a top wellness device - and that accuracy ensures it places as the best for Android users who want reliable information. The only product that didn’t go through the full testing process exception was the Polar H-10. Because I couldn’t get it to pair with my cycling computer, I only tested it with the Stages bike and Strava and did not take it through a full week’s worth of workouts. Prior to working for PCMag, I was the managing editor of Game Developer magazine. I've also worked at the Association for Computing Machinery, The Examiner newspaper in San Francisco, and The American Institute of Physics. I was once profiled in an article in Vogue India alongside Marie Kondo. In terms of body placement, the Whoop Strap 4.0 is by far the most versatile heart rate monitor on the market. Pros: Great accuracy for an optical sensor; feature-rich; strong battery life Cons: Design not for everyoneElectrical interference can interfere with heart rate monitor accuracy. “​​ Investigating sources of inaccuracy in wearable optical heart rate sensors” NPJ Digit Med. (February 2020) While the performance of the original Pixel Watch certainly wasn't poor, accuracy has been taken to another level with the second-gen model.

I really wanted to like the Polar H-10. Its slim, shiny design was a definite plus. The elastic band felt softer than the others and had little anti-slip texturing on the inside. This gave it high scores for comfort. When it paired with my devices (the Strava app and the indoor bike console at my gym), it was accurate and consistent. That said, because of its inability to pair with my bike computer, I didn’t use it nearly as much as the others. (I used it for less than an hour, as compared to the six to eight hours I spent testing its competitors.) Some wrist-based, or optical, monitors display time spent exercising in different heart rate zones. Trevor Raab Find the Best Device for Your Needs My latest book is The Everything Guide to Remote Work, which goes into great detail about a subject that I've been covering as a writer and participating in personally since well before the COVID-19 pandemic. Like the other products I tested, it connected smoothly to every other Bluetooth device I paired it with and consistently gave accurate readings (with zero glitchy behavior). I didn’t have problems figuring out how to use it, either. It would have been nice if it showed up in my devices as “CooSpo” (instead, it showed up as a series of numbers) but this wasn’t a huge deal.Accuracy of Wrist-Worn Heart Rate Monitors | Cardiology” American Medical Association Cardiology (January 2017) Wrist sensor heart rate monitors are less accurate for wearers with darker skin. “​​ Investigating sources of inaccuracy in wearable optical heart rate sensors” NPJ Digit Med. (February 2020) It’s one of the pricier chest strap monitors available, but if you want a chest strap that offers reliable data, extra running metrics and makes sense for team sports, the HRM Pro is going to have plenty of appeal.

Battery life has been boosted to 20 hours, as well, and now has internal memory for 600 hours worth of workouts. Those workouts can now be synced over to Polar Flow, which was previously unsupported.I’m Pam Moore, a certified personal trainer, endurance athlete, and health and fitness journalist. I have bylines in outlets including The Washington Post, Time, The Guardian, Runner’s World, SELF, Outside, Bicycling, and Women’s Running. It also introduces a modified design (and a loftier price) over its predecessor, the Polar H9, adding silicon friction dots to help keep the strap in place. Plus, we've found it's a bit more comfortable to wear. It still uses an ECG-style sensor that detects the electrical activity of the heart to deliver your BPM readings, but a new measuring algorithm and extra interference-preventing electrodes help improve accuracy. ANT Plus vs. Bluetooth:Most wrist-worn heart-rate monitors like the Apple Watch use Bluetooth, which only lets you connect to one device. For example, if you're recording an outdoor run, you can only connect your Apple Watch to your iPhone. Resting heart rate is easy to measure. You can read it by feeling your pulse with two fingers and counting it. You can also read it using a free app (such as this one from Azumio) and a smartphone camera. It's simple to calculate resting heart rate with or without a device, as well as compare data across methods.
