The Chest Strap Polar H10 is a reliable heart rate sensor that uses three frequency bands: Bluetooth 4.0, coded 5 kHz, and ANT+. It also features built-in memory for storing one training session, which can later be transferred to a computer or mobile app. This means you don't need to bring your phone with you during your workout, and you can also use the chest strap while swimming.
The sensor can be paired with compatible smartphones as well as all Polar devices. Another major advantage is compatibility with selected sports watches and devices from other brands via the ANT+ signal. The analog signal can be used with most fitness machines that support chest strap connectivity. Recorded data can be processed using Polar Beat and Polar Flow, as well as various other apps, including Endomondo, Runtastic, Cardio Mapper, and iSmooth Run.
