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. 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.
