Now, since this is our first time using the strap you’ll want to use either the Polar Beat app or the Polar Flow app to update the firmware. Obviously, I choose this route each time. Alternatively, I suppose you can put it on first and then lick, though that’s slightly more awkward as you hold your shirt up to then appear to passersby to be licking your nipples. Seriously.Īfter giving both pads a quick lick, you’re ready to snap the clasp on the strap and put it on. You can use water, electrode gel, or my personal favorite: licking it. In most conditions, you’ll want to moisten these slightly at the beginning of the workout until you start sweating. Whereas those smooth sections you see on the strap are where the electrical sensors are, which is where it detects your heart rate. The Polar H10 straps are pretty good about not slipping though, thanks to the tiny little anti-slip dots you see on the strap, which are both on the interior sides and back areas (note that the H9 straps lack these anti-slip dots): Generally speaking, most people wear it on your chest below the nipple, but some men will wear it above if it starts to slip down. Next, you can adjust the strap length using the small clasp towards one end of the strap. Meaning, there’s no harm in leaving the pod attached to the strap permanently (as I usually do). This by itself does not turn the strap on or off, but rather, the strap sensing electrical activity does.
It simply snaps in place using two little button-like thingies. The first thing you’ll want to do is pop the pod into the strap.

It’s a manual that tells you not to do unsafe strap things, and to occasionally rinse it off (I usually do so in the shower briefly with water after each workout).Īnd thus, concludes our unboxing section. And then clipped into the cardboard is the transmitter pod:Īlso, you’ll find some paper stuffs in there. So, back inside the box, you’ve got the strap portion folded up in an origami-style situation that you’ll never be able to replicate again. In the event you’re purchasing these straps in person in something called a retail store, the color is indicated by a tiny dot on the packaging. I mean, assuming you can find a heart rate strap sexy. I’ve got both, they both technically are identical, but obviously the swankier grey one is sexier. XXXL Strap Portion Only: 76-116 cm (30”-46”)įor each of the H10 kits you can purchase either black or the swankier grey one. When it comes to sizing, there’s basically two sizes of the H10 you can purchase (technically you can also purchase just the strap portion in an XXXL too): It’s the same grey material as the Polar Verity Sense optical HR band. This one is grey though, and I like it – it looks prettier than all my boring black straps. What’s In The Box:īecause I wanted to have this section be up to date, I went out and bought another H10.

If you found this review useful, you can use the links at the bottom, or consider becoming a DCR Supporter which makes the site ad-free, while also getting access to a mostly weekly video series behind the scenes of the DCR Cave. But I have H10’s stretching back 5 years or so, and some bought this past year. It was like snakes on a plane, but with straps instead.
On my trip last week I somehow ended up with three of them in my suitcase. I’ve bought far too many H10 straps, either as a bundle or individually. Note that in this case, this is a device I bought myself. Like any device, it has its pros and cons. Ultimately, earning itself a place in my mental list of acceptable reference devices for heart rate accuracy, as well as my product buyers guides.
GOPRO HERO 5 SESSION CASE BLUETOOTH
Prior to that, I only occasionally used it, as I generally preferred straps that could connect to multiple devices (which back then, it was limited to a single Bluetooth connection).īut over the last few years, the H10 and its little brother the H9 have crept further and further into my daily usage. That update also included dual-Bluetooth connectivity, allowing multiple connections.Īnd in fact, it’s been since around the timeframe that they added ANT+ & dual-Bluetooth integration a few years ago, that my usage has picked up. There have been more important features though, like when Polar added ANT+ connectivity to the H10 (via simple firmware update). Such as the also-announced-on-launch-day GoPro integration some 5 years ago, which never made it past the Hero 4/5 cameras (through no fault of Polar). In fact, the H10 has been around so long that they’ve announced features, implemented features, and then those features have reached end of life. For the most part, the H10 predated when I did dedicated general-purpose heart rate strap reviews.
In fact, it only had cursory mention when it was announced five years ago. There’s arguably no tech product in my arsenal of products that’s been used as much as the Polar H10 chest strap, yet I never exactly got around to writing an in-depth review on it.
