Heart rate monitor
I am looking for a good heart rate monitor strap for fitness, running, swimming. Any recommendations?
Polar H10 seems to be high on the list of reviews on the internet...
Thank you!

@heike-roettgers H10 is one of the best heart rate straps - I also own one and it's really good. Only if you have Garmin devices I would buy a Garmin heart strap otherwise you can't track all Garmin Running Dynamics metrics as far as I know. For everything else the Polar H10 is top!

I have started with Polar and moved to Garmin as I like their general UX and ecosystem. The chest strap works very well.
I have also used the Morpheus Chest strap which measures my HRV in the morning and provides customized training zones (HR-bands) depending on your recovery / HRV.
Overall, I can highly recommend Garmin.

What heart rate wearables are your no-brainer recommendations for Heike?

Hey Heike - good to see you also on newzapiens :)
Polar H10 is the best choice. Always use and recommend it - also for our Vo2 Max testing

Polar H10 is the most accurate! To my knowledge, it should also be compatible with Garmin watches and similar devices.
However, accuracy is not particularly beneficial if you find the strap uncomfortable and therefore end up using the less accurate measurement provided by your sports watch on your wrist. That is why I use Polar Verity Sense and/or Amazfit Helio Strap on my upper arm. It is absolutely accurate enough for sports.
Polar H10 ist am genauesten! Sollte meines Wissens auch mit Garmin Watches und co kompatibel sein.
Aber: Genauigkeit bringt nicht viel, wenn man den Gurt unbequem findet und deshalb dann doch die ungenaue Messung der Sportuhr am Handgelenk nutzt. Deshalb nutze ich Polar Verity Sense und/oder Amazfit Helio Strap am Oberarm. Absolut ausreichend genau für Sport.
Thank you everyone for your replies! I have now proceeded to buying a H10. It arrived yesterday, but unfortunately the "S" strap is very "S" (for children or very very skinny people) and I will have to change my order to the "M" size strap.

I have both. I prefer Garmin. My Polar H10 always has connection issues. And it looks like after a few years the Polar is defect. I compared the H10 with the Garmin strap, Helio strap and Whoop MG. My Polar is way off.
But based on the internet opinion the H10 is the most accurate device.
Has anyone experience with the new Polar strap?
