Product Information

More importantly, ask your doctor whether they care if your resting heart rate is, say, 58 versus 60. The answer is probably no. It's more important to know whether your resting heart rate is within a healthy range. If your heart rate is 80 when it should be closer to 60, that's a potential concern. The point is that a super fine degree of accuracy isn't important for most consumers.

The strap is machine washable, which is ideal when things get sweaty, and the sensor cradle offers a Bluetooth antenna boost making it a better fit for keeping a connection with connected devices and gym equipment. There’s ANT+ and Bluetooth connectivity letting you pair to two Bluetooth devices at the same time.However, it’s laser-focused on the effects of workouts on your body, how much you recover, and the quality of your rest – and how ready you are to do it all over again tomorrow. It's muted and unobtrusive, meaning you can wear a watch (or smartwatch) on the other wrist without looking like too much of a square. It surprisingly only offers five days of battery life, but, despite this shortcoming, you'll get a very rounded view of your training readiness because of the very solid heart rate monitor at its core.

The Polar H10 one-ups the Polar H9 because its built-in memory means it can store one training session before syncing. Moreover, it supports two simultaneous Bluetooth connections, whereas the H9 is limited to just one. Beyond that, the HRMs are nearly identical. They weigh the same, use the same coin cell battery, are both waterproof and safe for swimming, use an ECG (electric pulse) for heart rate measurements (rather than optical), and provide highly accurate results.

Wahoo Tickr X Heart Rate Monitor (Gen 2)

Electrical interference can interfere with heart rate monitor accuracy. “​​ Investigating sources of inaccuracy in wearable optical heart rate sensors” NPJ Digit Med. (February 2020) When it comes to choosing the best heart-rate monitor chest strap for your workout, many of the factors in your buying decision will be based on personal preferences and your workout regimen. Here are a few things to look at while shopping. My plan was to use each product for at least a week’s worth of workouts, including bike rides, HIIT training, and strength training. The bulk of my testing time was spent using each heart rate monitor with my Wahoo Bolt Element cycling computer. For my indoor cycling workouts, I paired each heart rate monitor with Strava and the Stages indoor bike console while my phone was simultaneously connected to Bluetooth headphones. For the strength and HIIT sessions, I paired each product with the Strava app. If you're an exerciser who cares about accuracy, the Polar H10 chest strap is the one we've found to be one of the most reliable during testing. It’s important to consider the material that the band for a heart rate chest strap is made of because you likely won’t be able to swap parts out later. (Most transmitters are only compatible with straps from the same brand.) You may find one material more comfortable than another, which in turn could impact your exercise experience.
