Polar Beat: Running & Fitness

I am so unhappy with this H9. It doesn’t connect easily, and when it does it loses the connection. The instructions are terrible. There is no clarity about which of the polar apps you should use.

A bunch of stuff you dont need. Like.. blog.

A heart rate monitor app that doesn’t display the history of your heart rate after an activity. You’d have to work very hard to make it worse than it already is. Update: got it working on its own. Now would like to have it remember my last activity. I have to select it every time I start the app. Changed my review to four stars.

It’s good when it works. The hr pairing and Bluetooth is wildly inconsistent. My phone will show that it’s paired with the hr monitor but the app won’t register that it’s connected. Usually requires a bunch of resets and disconnecting and reconnecting to work properly. Wearing a weight vest, running vest or hydration pack interferes with the hr monitor. God help you when you need to update the hr monitor software, but if you don’t do the update then it won’t work at all. It’s only a matter of time before they start requiring a subscription for the monitor to work properly IMO.

Cheep app, "unreliable" and very few features, for the price of the heart rate sensor this is extremely disapointing. Just buy apple watch se honestly. Or even the garmin sensor for half the price.

I have not used this app since 2017 have not used my polar M 600 either and I have missed it recently got back into cycling and I am very glad to say that both watch and heart rate monitor the H10 are working just as good as they were in 2017. I must say that I loved the watch but now I am comparing it to my Apple ultra 2. I will stick with the Ultra 2 and I will use the H 10 heart rate monitor. They all work in conjunction with Health app, but gives me a far more detailed map and the benefits of what I am actually doing in my training. Thank you, Polar for being there. 👍👍👍👍👍

I have used this app for about a month and I think it it excellent. I would however make one recommendation for an upgrade. As you are exercising with the app your heart rate increases, but you don’t know at what rate it will slip into the next level. My recommendation is that the heart rate minimum/maximum levels be added to the app screens. Then, when exercising you could come close but not slip into the next level

It keeps track of my location time And pace.

It’s a little uncomfortable, but a good app strap could be a little bit more flexible and the app could be a little bit more programmable for instance, interval training, they could make that better by allowing you to program your own

- Does not have zone alerts. No point in showing me the record after the program. - Uses 220-age maxheartrate calculation which is junk. No way to input my actual which is 20 beats higher. Recommmended zones are useless So it’s just a record I will never review.
