One thing that we forgot to mention is that Polar H10 can also be worn while swimming, and so does the Apple Watch. They have swimming as a workout though Apple goes a step further with its advanced metrics for swimmers like laps and distance and more.

Question 2

Which is More Accurate Polar H10 or Apple watch 7?

Accepted Answer

Polar H10 is more accurate than the optical heart rate monitors found in the Apple Watch for the simple reason that they sit snuggly around your ribcage where your heart is located, while the optical sensors have to rely on light emitted from your skin to detect your pulse.

During different exercises like running, swimming, or even weightlifting, the movement can cause optical heart rate monitors to lose contact with your skin and produce inaccurate readings. On the other hand, a chest strap will stay put even when you’re sweating buckets or doing some intense cardio.

Question 3

Can Polar H10 connect to two devices?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Polar H10 can connect to two devices simultaneously. However, by default, it switches between the devices depending on which one is active.

If you want the HRM to share data with both devices at the same time, you need to change the connection mode to "2 Receiving Bluetooth Devices" in the Polar Beat app: Settings > HR sensor> 2 receiving BLE devices.

Question 4

Is there a polar beat for Apple watch?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a Polar Beat app for Apple Watch. The app is available for free on the App Store, but there are in-app purchases. However, many users have reported that the app is not very reliable and often crashes.

Question 5

Do Polar H10 sync data with Apple Health?

Accepted Answer

When the Polar H10 is connected to your Apple Watch, the data will be automatically synced with the Health app. You can view the data by opening the Health app and tapping on the "Sources" tab.

Question 6

Polar H10 keeps disconnecting from the Apple watch?

Accepted Answer

There can be several reasons for this:

Your Polar H10 is connected to both iPhone and the Apple Watch but you haven't enabled the Dual sharing mode.
The recent firmware update on the Apple Watch or chest strap may have caused the issue.
The battery life of the Strap is coming to the end, or low at the time of connection.

This issue is usually resolved by unpairing and re-pairing the devices. If that doesn't work, try factory resetting your Polar H10.
