H10 Heart Rate Monitor
Customer
· 1 year ago
Pros
- The H10 is using EKG which is superior in terms of accuracy compared to optimal sensors of common wearables
- The strap is comfortable and easy adjustable
- Connecting the device to fitness equipment and smartphone is super simple
- It has a great battery life
- The app is useful and can help to guide me through the training in different zones
- It has a fair price (99€) but there are also regular discounts available
- The strap is comfortable and easy adjustable
- Connecting the device to fitness equipment and smartphone is super simple
- It has a great battery life
- The app is useful and can help to guide me through the training in different zones
- It has a fair price (99€) but there are also regular discounts available
Cons
- The heart rate zones are calculated by the standard formale 220 - age = MHF (max. Heart frequence). From my perspective Polar should measure the max rate with a guided training.
- The voice feature in the app is pretty annoying and has limitations to be configured
- The voice feature in the app is pretty annoying and has limitations to be configured
Goal
To improve my V02max and to have a more efficient training within different heart rate zones I was looking for an accurate way to measure my HF during training. Since common wearables only use optical sensors (which are less accurate) I was looking for a EKG solution.
I am very happy with the H10 and can recommend it.

H10 Heart Rate Monitor
Customer
· 1 month ago
Pros
I wear the H10 24/7 to record 24-hour HRV measurements. The battery life with continuous 24/7 tracking is about 6–8 weeks. There are many third-party replacement straps that fit the H10 monitor.
Cons
Compared to other heart rate straps, the H10 is relatively large. I would prefer it if it were more discreet. In very cold conditions, I often get incorrect readings during my HRV measurements while exercising. In addition, I miss having an integrated memory that stores the data and then transfers it to an iPhone afterwards.
Goal
24-hour HRV measurements with Autonom Health. Training on the Zwift Ride.

For me: Just a good sports watch for running and workout with not too many features that I won't ever need.
Cons
I would love to have 2 more features: payment and local music data for bluetooth ear buds.

Pros
- One of the best products on the market
- Accurate heart rate measurement
- Accurate heart rate measurement
Cons
I had the H10 for a few years. After 1 year, I had problems connecting the H10. I had to change the battery every few weeks and I didn't use the H10 very often. After 2–3 years, the H10 got no connection to any device anymore. So, in total, I had to many issues with connecting to a device. I'm using the Wahoo HR monitor for a few months and the experience for connecting to devices is far better for me.

H10 Heart Rate Monitor
Customer
· 3 weeks ago
Pros
Does exactly what it is designed to do: reliably captures HRV snapshots.
Measurements are consistent and dependable for spot-check assessments.
I use it in combination with the Elite HRV app, which works very well for structured tracking and interpretation.
In addition, VO₂max can be estimated with relatively good accuracy.
This makes the device useful not only for HRV snapshots, but also for broader performance profiling over time.

Cons
Does not work in the sauna, ice bath, or while swimming. A separate variant is required for water use.
As a result, the device is limited to a single, very specific use case.
Given this narrow applicability, the low price point is appropriate. At a higher cost, I would not have purchased it.
