WHY IS HEART RATE TRAINING THE SMART WAY TO WORKOUT?

Using real-time heart rate data during your workouts means you have instant insight into how your body is responding. This means you'll be training smarter, which is always better than simply training harder.

In a nutshell, smart training that leads to results is based on three variables:

  • Frequency: How many times you exercise during a period of time, for example per week.
  • Duration: How long you exercise at a time, usually counted in minutes.
  • Intensity: This one is a bit more complicated - and that's where your heart rate comes in.

Your heart rate is one of the best indicators of how hard your body is working during training. Instead of trying to "guestimate" the intensity of your workout, your best bet is to rely on your heart rate which is a trackable number, just like frequency and duration.

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews

82 customers mention60 positive22 negative

Customers like the accuracy of the biometric monitor. They say it's reasonably accurate, as accurate as the chest strap, and accurate picking up changes. It improves the calorie count accuracy as there is no lag when HR increases. Some mention that the monitor is convenient to use and integrates the heart rate stats into its app. However, some customers have concerns about the battery life.

Customers find the biometric monitor especially useful for workouts that cause the watch to lose the ability to read heart. They say it helps them better target their training, and is great for BJJ, kung fu, and other contact sports.

89 customers mention53 positive36 negative

Customers are mixed about the performance of the biometric monitor. Some mention that it works well, has a small learning curve, and does exactly what they need.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the biometric monitor. Some mention it's a solid, reliable product that provides accurate and reliable tracking.

"...The sensor is easy to remove but poses very little risk of falling out...." Read more

"...This is neither the product quality nor the customer service I have experienced and expect from a company like Polar.Don't buy this...." Read more

28 customers mention16 positive12 negative

Customers are mixed about the heart rate tracking of the biometric monitor. Some mention that it tracks you heart rate fairly well, is comfortable and easy to use, and reliably during intense workouts. However, others say that they could not get a consistent heart rate on their garmin watch from this device, it has spotty heart rate data, and that Bluetooth will connect, but the heart will not show.

"Pros -way more responsive and accurate than wrist-based heart rate monitors, especially important for serious athletes that closely track..." Read more

"...and a half where it completely lost it's mind and displayed completely bonkers heart rates...." Read more

"Way more consistent for active heart rate than wrist watch. Unobtrusive" Read more

"...is not the same measurement as EKG, so there is a very slight delay in the heart rate recording than what you would get with the EKG straps...." Read more

Good accuracy; More comfortable than a chest strap
4 Stars
Good accuracy; More comfortable than a chest strap
I've been using a Polar H10 chest strap to record my runs for a couple of years now, but don't really like wearing a chest strap for workouts. Both the Verity Sense Optical Arm Band and the H10 chest strap are vastly more accurate than just using the optical sensor on the Polar watch I pair them with (I suspect this would be true for just about any watch-based sensor but I can't claim to have tried other brands). I'm pleased with the VS arm band's comfort relative to the chest strap; and the fact that it is nearly as accurate is enough for me to switch to the arm band for most of my workouts. I tested them both simultaneously on a couple of workouts after I bought the arm band and was pleased with the results for normal runs and even my typical interval training. I posted the comparison charts I made when I wore both. The H10 responds more quickly. The optical arm band lags the H10 (real HR?) by about 10 seconds, but it was just as accurate in aggregate - unless you need feedback that is nearly instant. Also, I find the arm band a bit less finicky too. The chest strap will "lose the signal" for me on occasion and I'll have to reposition it. In 4 months this hasn't happened with the VS arm band more than once or twice. It does occasionally go slightly off (+/- 10 bpm error) like it did at the end of the sprint interval workout chart I posted, but even this I find rare - certainly less often than with the H10 . You can see the H10 didn't respond for part of the first stride I did near the end of the long run workout as well as for over a minute during the warm up phase at the beginning of the sprint interval workout. During the sprint interval workout, the arm band did miss the peaks. These were nearly all-out sprints though. For anything less than an all-out sprint with arms pumping hard I find the arm band does not miss the heart rate peak. I'm happy to use it for my more regular interval workouts where I'm not going all out. The battery has been great. It lasts for at least a couple weeks worth of workouts (that's maybe 10 workouts x 50 minutes on average) and I probably charge it before I need to more often than not.
