Polar H9 and H10 Heartrate Sensors. FULL REVIEW!

*DISCLOSURE*
This review is of the POLAR H9 and H10 heart rate sensor straps. Polar did send me these products for the purpose of my review, but they aren't paying me to make the review, and had no input or early access to my review before I published it on KZbin. These are my own thoughts and opinions, and no one elses!

Nice review! I will sometimes use my Wahoo Tickr when I go trail running. I like that it connects in the front, but sometimes it will slide down in the cold because I'm not sweating as much. So I like the idea of the little silicone grip things on the inside of the strap to help keep it up!

[@UltraDad]

Thanks! Glad you like them

[@liftingweights]

Will the H9 & iPhone combo be recording heart-rate data while the iPhone is recording a video do you know ? Also is the recorded heart data displayed time-stamped per iPhone time ? Thanks

[@angelospontos]

Thank you for the review! Anyone had an issue with the strap and got it replaced under guarantee? The inside plastic got unstuck from the elastic part.

[@joelo4626]

Did you compare the data collected from the chest straps to the data from the optical sensor on a watch? If not that would have been helpful. I have started incorporating MAF training into my running and am trying to decide if a chest strap sensor is worth the extra money. Thanks for continuing to expand the content on your channel.

[@UltraDad]

I didn’t but that’s a good idea. Still perfecting these reviews!

[@bmp713]

Can you adjust the strap to wear the H9 or H10 on your ankle, forehead, or bicep?

[@UltraDad]

I am not sure but I think you could figure something out even if it is a modification of your own.

[@Mateus2412]

What about bluetooth range? Is it OK to leave phone on bench while playing football/basketball? It's hard to play with Your mobile in hand.

[@UltraDad]

I don’t think the range is great. Although I’ve never done that before. Thanks for watching!

[@kojak2169]

If I only want to connect to the app on my mobile phone and treadmill at the gym only, no other devices, is the H9 a better option for me

[@UltraDad]

I don’t think the H9 has blue tooth, so I’m not sure it will do either. Might go with the H10

[@kojak2169]

@@UltraDad I just placed an order for the H10 after some research. They both have Bluetooth, but H10 straps skin contacts, have a larger surface area that that connect to the whole front of torso for more accuracy.

[@UltraDad]

@@kojak2169 ok great! I do like the H10 better in general

[@jeanleroux1414]

Can the H10 sensor work on the H9 strap for instance?

[@UltraDad]

That’s interesting. Never tried that!

[@TischTosh]

As I understand it, the answer to your question is yes.

[@Brett.A]

My H10 always takes about 10 minutes to calibrate. I’ll start walking and my HR will show 160+ then drop to 50s. Kind of annoying when doing HR training

[@UltraDad]

Huh do you use a watch? Interesting. I didn’t have this problem.

[@Brett.A]

@@UltraDad coros apex. Also connect to my Nordictrack X11i

[@UltraDad]

@@Brett.A huh. Sorry to hear this. I’ll pay special attention to the verity sense when I test it

[@christopherbrand5360]

Do you wet your skin and/or the electrode pads on the strap when you put it on before exercising? Mine has been 100%, happy user for over a year.

[@Brett.A]

@@christopherbrand5360 yes, always. I think I just have a bad monitor. It does eventually sync perfectly after about 10 minutes. It’s weird
