Hi! Do you found a way to connect Polar H10 with Samsung Watch 4 or 5?

[@jerryd5804]

Thanks for this video. I purchased the Sporty Go! app for a Samsung Active 2 and was able to pair a Polar H10 chest strap. Much better heart rate accuracy than on the Active 2. From what I understand Sporty Go! is a more capable and customizable app than the older Sporty Watch.

[@getfitover40]

Thanks for the update, I don't have a galaxy watch anymore so I can not try the new App.

[@AquilaTheHun]

Not only "better than" the optical internal HRM but it is the etalon HRM these days, with ECG accuracy. I have just done the same as you with my Galaxy Watch 4 and it works fine! 🙂

[@gregehle3587]

I used the same app for the original samsung galaxy watch today. I am attached to my watch and did my homework prior to purchasing my Polar H10 and thought this would work and it does! Thanks!

[@hbarias]

Thanks for the info. I got my Gear S3 to pair with the Polar H10. It took a few tries because the H10 was not showing up as an option on the S3. I finally got it to work after I first connected to an unknown bluetooth device, then the H10 was shown as an available bluetooth option to choose from.

Excellent video! I'm trying to decide whether to buy a Samsung Watch or Active 2 or Polar Watch and use a Polar H10 HR Strap with them. But I didn't know how to connect the Polar H10 with the Samsung Watches. Your video solves that issue. Bravo!

[@OpenMindedForever]

@@ElementMusic88 ... I'm age 60 and 50lbs excess fat (obese). So as a senior and newbie to a lifestyle of better health and fitness, I decided to get these more user-friendly fitness tools instead of the Samsung Watch: 1. Garmin Venu Watch 2. Polar H10 Chest Strap 3. Garmin Connect app (playstore) 4. WORKIT trainer app (playstore) 5. Lose It! nutrition app (loseit.com) All 5 tools are easier (at least for me) to configure and use together, augmented by free online training videos, to self-design beginner, intermediate, and advanced 5-component fitness routines: 1. Weight-Lifting Routines 2. Aerobics Routines 3. Stretching Routines 4. Nutrition/Meal Plans 5. Recovery/Sleep Routines My newbie online reading (voluminous) show these 5-components to be the basics (foundation) for informing which tools and fitness data I should use, as there's quite a bit of complex and confusing information online and offline. I hope this was helpful. Cheers!

Interesting video. One of the reasons why I have not gotten back into Wear OS is the heart rate tracking accuracy. Do you think someone can use this technique on a Wear OS device? If so, could you save the info to Google Fit, or would you have to go a different route? I have a Garmin now but would like to get back into Wear OS. Not interested in Samsung though.

[@samfries363]

Makes you think why Samsung didn't have the capability to connect to chest strap from the factory, this may have made my decision a bit easier, thanks, great vid and I'll checkout your other vids as I'm over 40 and want to get fitter l.

[@getfitover40]

I know, I wonder that too, this has been a feature many people have been asking for from Samsung for a long time and has beena deal breaker for many when purchasing and the idea that a huge company like Samsung has not implemented it when some random guy probably working in his bedroom on the watch face has made it happen. Kind of embarrassing for Samsung. All I know is it solved the issue for me and I can track my non-step based workouts now using the App and get way better heart rate reading than the built in optical sensor which is not very accurate even for measuring walking heart rate where I get anythign from no reading at all right up to 190 beats per minute.

Hi thank you for the amazing work you do. I had a query. If i was to track my workouts with a chest HR strap paired to the Strava app. the calorie burn recorded will be basis ONLY the heart rate recorded ? or will some algorithm based estimates also be used (like the wrist based trackers use) ? is there anyway to track calorie burnt purely by heart rate data when pairing a chest sensor to an apple watch/garmin venu/samsung watch 4 ? thank you

[@getfitover40]

It's hard to say how it will figure it all out. Each App does it a bit different than the others. When using multiple Apps with each other it gets even more complicated. Best if you can keep all your active calories in one App and all your food calorie in another than cross reference them. MFP sometimes does this OK with some Apps but not all Apps.

[@kundansingh914]

@@getfitover40 the calories burnt are either recorded in strava or say Garmin connect. What I'm trying to figure is if one can purely count calories from the HR tracked by the polar. Without any algorithm estimates as per height and weight.

[@getfitover40]

@@kundansingh914 The Polar will need to know your height and weight (mainly weight)in order to know approximate calories burned either by using the Polar App or another App. It needs to know this because a person that is 100 pounds versus a person that weighs 200 pounds both exercising for 30 minutes with an average Heart Rate of say 130 will burn very different amounts of calories.

The watch face saves the data to strave after the workout which then sinks it to MyFitnessPal for me. My way of getting it to MFP.

I'm curious since you are connecting the strap via bluetooth. Can you also connect wireless headphones at the same time?

[@Taylormeyer]

Yes you can ..

[@edgarsi]

Just to make it clear.. you wont be able to connect your 5khz heart sensors with any of smart watch or cell phone (straps like Polar h1 for example). So please make sure you check for item specs bfore trying or buying any app on the market. Modern straps are mostly with a blue tooth connection, they all work great with galaxy or apple devices.

[@jaysonbrown8033]

Does this watch face display the data on the watch in real time for hitt training? Or does it keep the delay from Samsung? Thanks for all the info

[@getfitover40]

Shows in real time and then I saved the data to Strava after workout.

[@mkempiowa]

Thanks for the info. So we can assume the workout data is fairly accurate for calories burned because of using the chest strap HRM. Once that data is imported to MFP - you said you use that to offset your food...My question is what do you set your calorie goal at? For instance let's say your BMR is 2000 and your TDEE is 3000 what do you set your calorie goal at in MFP? If you use TDEE it is already accounting for activity level. If you use just BMR + Workout + Steps you are missing out on the other calorie burning things your body does like digesting food, etc...Can you step us through exactly how you use the imported workout data to adjust your food intake in MFP and how you set your daily calorie goal in MFP?

[@getfitover40]

I set my calorie goal in MFP to maintenance so not to lose or gain any weight, then I can simply look to see if I am over or under my calorie goal depending on if I want to lose or gain weigth and how aggressively I want to do this.

[@mkempiowa]

@@getfitover40 - That makes sense. I was over thinking it. Maintenance = TDEE. Set your goal in MFP to maintenance then adjust food/exercise depending on if you want to cut or gain. I finally got an Apple Watch 3 and a polar H10 chest strap and have it all set up and it works great. My pathway is Polar H10 to Polar Beat app to Polar Flow which sends the data to MFP. Then I have Apple Health send my steps from the watch to MFP. I like that the Apple watch accepts an external HR monitor no problem and actually defaults to that when it is paired up. Thanks for the great channel!!!

getfitover40 This is how you fix the heart rate sensor kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJCceHaadtJ-q6M This is the Feb update kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKKTkJeQmq6feLM

[@Nayakthunder]

Will the method work with wear os ticwatch pro (the first version) the chest strap sensor has bluetooth and ant+

[@getfitover40]

The New Sporty Go App (replaces Sporty Watch) for Wear OS should work.

@@getfitover40 good to know

[@wendyopul6903]

Thanks this was perfect

[@wib1400]

I have tried this face watch I have been associated with the chest of the type of wahoo ticker x but when you finish the exercise and raise it on the program of strava find that the exercise time is different, for example, when raising exercise for five minutes, you find that it was recorded in the program of recognition as fifteen seconds Just

[@getfitover40]

With the Sporty Watch App/Watch Face when it does not detect a heart rate it stops recording, I noticed this when using the built in heart rate monitor since it does not always read. Perhaps you think you are connected to the wahoo ticker when in fact the Sporty Watch App is using the built in monitor and not ready well?

[@evaldasmilasius3471]

Hey, does it have blood pressure feature?

[@getfitover40]

I don't think so.

[@paulalex5412]

Hi ,i would like to ask if the watchface works with wahoo tickr x and the same time i can listen to music from the galaxy watch which is conected to bluetooth earbuds?so i don,t have to take my phone with me when i go for running.

[@getfitover40]

The wahoo tickr x just has more features than the regular wahoo tickr so I don't see why it would not work as I use the wahoo tickr with it. As for listening to music over BT form the watch at the same time should be no problem.

It should, have not tried.

How did you get your GPS track to show in Strava? When I use the watchface for a run/cycle, when exported to Strava, I see the data, but no GPS track. I can see the track in Samsung Health though when exported from Strava

I didn't have to do anything it just worked right away? Maybe it's a setting in Strava?

@@getfitover40 I've had a look and nothing jumping out at me...... Do you have free Strava or a subscription?

[@grantd47]

@@getfitover40 reason I ask is I've bought the sporty watch watch face to go with Wahoo Tickr. That part works no problem, but no GPS track in Strava. If I use the Strava watch app, all good, as is Samsung Health for GPS track. It must be in there somewhere as Strava passes the track to Samsung Health. I'll just have to keep looking......

What's the difference between Sporty Watch and Sporty Go?

[@getfitover40]

Sporty Go is the new version, updated and it also works on Wear OS watches now. New updated interface, looks a lot better but not sure if there are any new features as I no longer have a Samsung Watch so I have not personally sued the new version.

[@Sunset30013]

is it available for samsung galaxy watch 4 I can't find it

[@getfitover40]

It's called Sporty Go now.

[@jcknepp]

I assume this will work with my Galaxy frontier watch? Also, what is the cheapest heart rate monitor that still works?

[@michaelkaye3403]

Should work just fine with your Galaxy Frontier, Not sue what the cheapest working BT HR Monitor is? But most BT Smart HR monitors should work.

[@jcknepp]

@@michaelkaye3403 thanks! I was looking at the polar H7, but might go the extra and get the H10 for future proofing. It's not much more.

Hi, does anyone know if this is working also with Samsung Galaxy Watch Active? :)

[@paulalex5412]

Does it work with tickr x?

[@johnny9072]

it definitely works but it kills the battery and is prone to reset the watch numerous times if used for long runs

[@getfitover40]

I have had mine crash a few times usually on longer workouts but things seem a lot better now with updates to the latest watch OS. I often do 1.5 hour workouts with no resetting happening.

[@JaredWilbanks]

Yep, my Active 2 has started rebooting. Doesn't matter the length of workout. Most of mine are 30 mins and it happens at any given time during it. Watch reset didn't help.

[@Taylormeyer]

Has anyone figured out how to see your last mile split? Or maybe you current average split/pace? I played with the min/mile setting with no luck. Yes my speed unit settings are correct.

[@Linesandhookers]

Tried this with a Samsung active 2 and polar oh1. It works well but I'm having problems with my Bluetooth earbuds when it is paired to the oh1. They work fine for the first couple of mins but then the sound gets all cut up and stutters and only goea away if I uppair the oh1. Such a shame as this would have been perfect if it all worked well

Doesn’t seem to be available in galaxy watch app. Link brings up watch app, but no watch faces for stefan thomas nor sporty watch face or app.

My Samsung Gear Active just read 220 while doing a cardio workout. I've had this issue in the past, so I put my fitbit blaze on my right wrist, showed 138, very normal HR for a CD during a cardio. I don't want to buy another device. I bought this watch for a reason.

[@getfitover40]

That's why it is much better to use a dedicated Heart Rate Chest strap if you can.

[@shrifeazmy184]

Or buy apple watch, it's pretty accurate

[@sportbilly13]

I have the suunto hr smart sensor but the watch does not recognise it
