Polar H10 Review

When it comes to heart-rate monitoring Polar sets a high bar and this you can see in the Polar H10 HR Monitor Chest Strap. According to Polar, they have improved the battery performance and made it with onboard memory. If you happen to be a Polar H7 owner, the resemblance between to two devices is the same with some minor changes. However, how high bar is this device, let us find out what athletes thought about this device.

Pros / What Customers Like:

• Old Polar smart device users found the new designed snap-on sensor thinner and smaller and it has received a new buckle that is easy to adjust when you put it on.
• Most athletes found the software upgrade done wirelessly a big benefit and helpful.
• The most commented thing noticed by runners is the extended battery life for months of use and does not need charging.
