I've had for approximately 1 month, I use it for about an hour 5x a week and it's still on the original battery/ no issues.
size, based on the sizing chart. It was larger than I expected. It fit fine on the smallest setting, but it would disconnect as I moved, and it would completely stop working in the water. Someone else recommended I try the smaller size, so I returned the M-XXL and ordered the XS-S (20"-26"). It fit snugly on the largest setting, but it didn't work AT ALL. Polar Beat wasn't recognizing the H10 when I tried to pair it. The bluetooth on my phone wasn't showing it eaither. I called tech support, they tried to help, but the trouble shooting steps didn't help. So, tech support did a three way call with Polar. They had me do additional trouble shooting steps. Consensus: I recieved a defective device, or a dead battery. The dead battery is less likely because the monitor only uses the battery when it is connected to the strap. So, unless the seller re-package a used device as new, I recieved a defective device. I am not thrilled. Polar use to be known for their quality, that's why my doctor recommended I use the H10, but this is the third Polar device I've had to return because it didn't work, or didn't work as advertised (also had to return a defective M600). So, my choices are:
1. Pay to ship the device to Polar to be repaired under warranty, and wait an undisclosed amount of time for it to be repaired.
2. Return to Amazon for a refund, and order a new one (unfortunately this is the most accurate heart monitor that can be worn in the water)
I picked the second option. I'm thankful that this was a Prime item.

Nach meiner Neuanschaffung bin ich wieder super zufrieden! Der H10 verbindet schnell mit meiner A370 (mit dem Handy noch nicht getestet) und funktioniert zuverlässig. Bisher hatte ich keine Pulswerte, die mir zu tief oder zu hoch erschienen sind. Also bin ich sehr zufrieden und empfehle den Gurt gerne weiter.
Außerdem: Das neue Band hält um einiges besser! Es hat eine Art Gumminoppen, die den Gurt an Ort und Stelle halten. Der Verschluss ist auch bei weitem besser als beim H7. Man muss ihn jetzt nicht mehr einhaken sondern kann ihn zusammen clippsen.
Die Größenfindung fande ich etwas unübersichtlich, aber mir reicht die Größe XS/S bei einer Größe von 165 und 55kg sehr gut aus (hat noch viel Spiel und kann größer oder kleiner gemacht werden) nur für den Fall, dass jemand unschlüssig ist :)
Son bastante variados, unos días carrera continua larga, otros series, entrenamientos de alta intensidad, series de comba con dobles rápidos...
He comparado los resultados, para un mismo entrenamiento usando la banda, una pulsera Garmin y otra Xiaomi al mismo tiempo, podéis ver las capturas. Lo que noto es que la banda es más precisa cuando hay cambios rápidos de ritmo, por ejemplo en series o cuando salto a la comba, a veces noto que la banda está unas 5 pulsciones por encima debajo de lo real, supongo que será el tiempo que tarde en actualizar o los intervalos de tiempo que tome, yo mido el pulso en el cuello, cuando acabo por ejemplo 200 saltos se notan muy bien las pulsaciones, las mido durante 20 segundos y multiplico por 3, no hay fallo. Si la comparo con las pulseras, me parece que va actualizando las mediciones más rápido, ya que cuando paro bajan rápidamente y en las pulseras aún tardan en estabilizarse.
En flexiones y dominada si he notado mucha diferencia, las pulseras me medían bastante mal, y es lógico pues funcionan con fotodiodos y al mover la muñeca en ángulos bruscos, cuando emiten la señal puede haber aire entre la piel y el sensor, y los giros hacen que aumente o disminuya la distancia (hablo a escala milímetros o menos pero son cruciales para el resultado).
Me la recomendaron y tardé en decidirme, pero el resultado ha sido todo un acierto.
La banda es muy cómoda, en mi caso no me molesta nada y la probé un día entero incluso por la noche para ver si las mediciones de la pulsera eran correctas, ya que se supone que lo más fiable es la banda.
Los resultados se ven en la APP Polar Beat, y ahí puedes elegir el tipo de entrenamiento. La aplicación es bastante simple, pero tiene varios tipos de entrenamiento como:
- Objetivo por beneficios: puedes elegir como objetivvo una sesión de recuperación, básico para aumentar ligeramente la resistencia y el estado de forma, resistencia (entrenamiento moderado para mejorar el estado de forma aeróbico), máximo (entrenamiento para aumentar el rendimiento máximo)...
- Tiene un TEST que averigua tu forma física en 5 minutos, esto es un poco por encima, te pregunta cuántas horas entrenas a la semana, te tumbas 5 minutos y te mide el pulso, al final te dice el VO2max y compara con gente de tu edad.
- Entrenamiento para quema de grasas
- Entrenamiento running: tienes que mantenerte por encima de la zona 2 al menos 12 minutos.
LO QUE MENOS ME GUSTA
- La aplicación es un poco "tosca"
- Debería dejar de configurar un poco más los entrenamientos
- Usando la banda con el móvil pero con el GPS desactivado el ritmo no lo lleva bien, supongo que hará un estudio en función de la altura y con eso saca la distancia del "paso", pero lo he probado de esta manera y me dice "disminuya el ritmo" o "aumente el ritmo", cuando voy a la misma velocidad, incluso paré a beber agua y me dijo "mantén este ritmo".
- La volví a probar con el GPS del móvil activado y la distancia la midió perfecta (corro en una zona donde están marcadas las distancias) y el ritmo lo mide fatal, tarda un minuto y algo en pillarlo, es decir, hacía series, corriendo fuerte y paraba, y cuando iba andando me decía "disminuya el ritmo", y tardó como 1 minuto y algo en decir, aumente ritmo....
En lo anterior tienes que llevar el móvil conectado a la pulsera (vía bluetooth) y te va diciendo el ritmo, pulso, calorías...continuamente, se puede ver en la pantalla del móvil y también lo va diciendo por voz (se puede desactivar).
Ahora bien, a mi me gusta salir a correr sin llevar el móvil, y al principio inicié la sesión de entrenamiento, me fui y al volver no me volcó los datos :( y triste de mi, porque había logrado mi récord de distancia y no me había guardado nada... me puse en contacto con Polar por email y me respondieron, al igual que hice en preguntas aquí y me respondió un usuario, gracias a eso fui capaz de que guardara la frecuenica cardíaca sin llevar el móvil. En iOS en la página principal de la aplicación, tiene en la parte superior derecha 3 puntitos donde puedes elegir 1) Entrenar con Polar Beat (para todo lo expuesto en el párrafo anterior) y 2) Guardar Frecuencia cardíaca (FC) con el sensor, hayq ue elegir esta opción antes de salir y así al volver sincroniza todos los datos. Dejo un vídeo por si os sirve de utilidad esta función (al final del vídeo donde pincho en "guardar FC con sensor").
IMPORTANTE: humedecer los electrodos antes del entrenamiento, ya sea con un poco de agua o saliva, si no lo haces pueden dar resultados erróneos (por ejemplo los picos iniciales). Si no te gusta "lamer" los electrodos, prueba con un gel o un poco de agua.
Como dije es la primera banda que tengo, así que no puedo comparar con otras, estuve mirando una Garmin y el modelo Polar H7 pero me gustaron las opiniones de esta y me dio buena impresión, hasta el momento no tengo ninguna pega. Espero que me dure mucho, y actualizaré este comentario si surge algún problema o fallo que note.

The monitor attachment is very sturdy/ chest strap fits snugly/ strap clip is super easy to use. I have never had issues with slipping.
The sizing is listed as XS-S (20-26 inches) and M-XXL (26-36 inches). If you were as confused as I was by this, it is the length of the strap unadjusted and unstretched.
For me the length of 20 inches was just over half of my actual chest size (32inches).
I am a UK size 8 and the XS-S size fit me perfectly straight out of the box without any adjustment.
It’s difficult to know how accurate the HRM is as I don’t have anything to calibrate it against. Even so saying this, I do get similar results from a setting e.g. aerobics or cycling.
It doesn’t seem to be thrown off by lots of jumping exercises, and equally is not confused by low impact e.g. cycling. Which was my main concern (inaccurate monitoring – which I found to be the case when wearing a wrist device).
The app is OK. It provides lots of different types of exercise categories to record and voice instructions tell you when you have hit certain BPM etc. It tracks GPS accurately and shows you a little map of your route and where your heart rate sections change.
The Bluetooth links well to the HRM – which means you can record your HR without taking your phone with you. And simply download them later to the app. However it does mean you can’t track GPS if you use this option because it’s just a sensor, not a standalone GPS tracker.
The biggest negative for me is the app, not the HRM. It has very limited functionality and there doesn’t seem to be any way to export the data that is recorded, or to clear all the data without individually deleting every record (for which I have 100’s now!) I would like to be able to record a weeks’ worth of exercise, and then clear it to start over.
However even so - the HRM will connect to a multitude of other apps – strava/apple heart rate monitor so you are not restricted by this. Just needs a bit of investigation to find a better solution.
Over all very good value for money.
