Polar H7 Review

Based on many sports users feedback the Polar H7 HR Sensor chest strap is a smart fitness tracker. What makes this heart rate monitor chest strap unique is the Bluetooth Smart support displaying data on sports watches. However, what other features make this device unique let us see what the experts have to say.

Pros / What Customers Like:

  • Sports users found the chest strap comfortable with the transmitter in place and not that noticeable under a shirt.
  • Swimmers found the waterproof structure great, but it does not work with Bluetooth connectivity while swimming. You can utilize it with the Polar watches in water to receive your heart rate data.
  • A nice feature most sports trainers found helpful is the ECG heart-rate sensor as it delivers data continuously.
  • Joggers found using the HR chest strap connected to their smartphone a bonus as they can use the RunKeeper or Strava apps.
  • The great thing is that most runners, cyclists, and skiers found are that they could customize the Polar Beat app to track their specific sports activities.
  • The biggest talked about feature by professional trainers is that you can utilize it with a sports watch, smartphone and 3rd –party apps.

Cons / What Customers Don't Like:

  • Consumers found the battery life lasts a month, but replacing it, you need to have a screwdriver nearby.

Verdict:

All in all the Polar H7 offers you an accurate heart rate monitoring. The battery lasts a while if you bear in mind to unclip the transmitter. Connected to your smart device or sports watch, it makes for one of the fitness trackers available to buy.
