Verity Sense

I am finding heart rate pretty ok although I do not trust optical sensors and always use an external heart rate monitor. After reading your post, I did some hill intervals (climbing on 11% average grade hills). I used a Garmin Epix paired with a Polar Verity Sense, the Pace Pro on my left wrist and

That’s exactly how I use my Polar Loop. I wear my V3 for training sessions, and when I get home I synch it, turn it off (saves battery life), and put on my Loop for the rest of the day. Since the latest firmware updates I have found the Loop’s heart rate tracking and sleep tracking to be flawless. A

First and foremost, you need to understand that calories are not counted by the heart rate monitor itself, but by the Polar algorithm. What you receive from the monitor is simply the heart rate reading. The most precise measurements come from a chest strap. The Verity Sense uses an optical sensor, w

Wrist sensors are vulnerable to cadence lock, where the watch thinks your running cadence is your heart rate (so instead of showing 125 it says your heart rate is 165 which is clearly wrong). I have a Coros Pace 3 and this was an extremely annoying problem for me. It didn't matter how tight the watc

I totally get this, I just get frustrated when people talk down to others, so I apologise if you feel I've been following you around but it is not fair to criticise and accuse people of wanting a "fashion accessory" when the information you're providing is based primarily on people's online complain

Hi there The H10 is a sensor. A plain non-smart sensor which basically either record the heart rate in its memory if triggered by Polar Beat app, or broadcasts heart rate and some other data lika RR, ECG and Acceleration depending on which application it is used with. Most often only HR. It does not

I agree with altered, chest straps are mandatory if you are planning to program/train based on the readings.As a long time strength and conditioning coach and weekend warrior, I keep a number of devices (they last a long long time) to maintain accurate measurement. My #1 is the polar h10, which I've

After years of using Garmin I moved to Polar earlier this year. Polar was the only option that with watch plus sensors could properly cover my sports. Running with pacer pro plus chest strap and football (soccer) training and league games with recording feature of Verity Sense/OH1. Also I give the s

Gosh, I thought I was the only one with a Polar addiction problem 🤭 I also feel loyal to the brand, but hear you. I got an Ignite 3 recently (to help me through a marathon without worrying about battery issues (unlike my Apple Watch), but slightly does not deliver what I thought it would, and feel a

Personally I use a Polar Verity Sense but they also do a cheaper version called the OH1. I believe Coros also do one. Optical heart rate sensors have a small lag in picking up changes to heart rate due to the way they work and they show an average over a short period of time rather than instantaneou
