H10 And Pm5: A Perfect Match?

The Polar H10 Heart Rate Transmitter with Belt is a Bluetooth and ANT+ heart rate transmitter that fits chest sizes 30–45 inches. It is compatible with the Concept2 PM5, PM4, PM3, PM2+ and PM2 monitors. The Polar H10 connects to the PM5 using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and ANT+ features.

Polar H10 connects to PM5 using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)

The Polar H10 Heart Rate Sensor is compatible with the PM5 Performance Monitor. The H10 sensor connects to the PM5 monitor using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. This allows the H10 to display heart rate data on the PM5 monitor. The H10's BLE connection is just one of its wireless connection options, with the device also supporting ANT+ and 5kHz connections.

The Polar H10 is an upgrade from the Polar H9, which is also compatible with the PM5 monitor. The H10 is a heart rate sensor that comes with a soft strap that fits chest sizes of 30-45 inches. The chest strap is user-replaceable, water-resistant, and features a Bluetooth connection. The H10 can be used in a group setting without interference from other heart rate sensors.

The H10's BLE connection allows it to connect to the PM5 monitor wirelessly. This wireless connection provides a convenient and seamless way to transmit heart rate data from the H10 sensor to the PM5 monitor. The H10's Bluetooth and ANT+ technologies enable it to connect to various devices and apps, making it a versatile and compatible option for users.

While the H10 can connect to the PM5 via BLE, it is important to note that Bluetooth BLE can only connect to one device at a time. This means that users cannot connect to both the PM5 and another device, such as an iPhone, simultaneously via BLE. However, it is possible to use the H10 with multiple devices by utilising different connection protocols. For example, one user reported connecting to the PM5 using ANT+ and to their iPhone using BLE simultaneously.

In conclusion, the Polar H10 is a heart rate sensor that connects to the PM5 Performance Monitor using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. This wireless connection allows the H10 to transmit heart rate data to the PM5 seamlessly. With its Bluetooth and ANT+ capabilities, the H10 offers a versatile and compatible option for users looking to track their heart rate data during workouts.

H10 can be used with PM5 and iPhone at the same time

The Polar H10 heart rate sensor is compatible with the PM5 performance monitor and iPhone at the same time. The H10 connects to the PM5 using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and to the iPhone via Bluetooth.

To connect the Polar H10 to the PM5, ensure that your H10 is running the latest firmware. You may have to install both the Polar Beat and Polar Flow apps and log in to your Polar Account on both apps before it checks for updates. Edit the settings for the H10 in the app and ensure ANT+ and BTLE transmission (and 5kHz if you like) are all enabled. The H10 has two BTLE channels so you can connect via Bluetooth to two devices at once, and broadcast over ANT+ and Polar 5kHz to unlimited other devices.

To connect the Polar H10 to your iPhone, go to your iPhone's settings and select 'Bluetooth'. Wait for the Polar H10 with an ID number to show up under 'Health Devices' (you will need to be wearing the HR strap and the HR pod clipped in during the process). Tap on the ID number and you are connected.

Note that some users have reported issues with connecting the Polar H10 to the PM5 and iPhone at the same time. If you encounter issues, try updating the firmware on your H10, or set the Polar Beat app to record offline, and then download the results post-activity.

H10 is compatible with PM4, PM3, PM2+ and PM2 monitors

The Polar H10 Heart Rate Transmitter with Belt is compatible with the Concept2 PM4, PM3, PM2+ and PM2 monitors. The H10 is also compatible with the PM5 wirelessly.

The Polar H10 Heart Rate Sensor with Soft Strap has Bluetooth and ANT+ technologies for displaying heart rate data on the Performance Monitor. The H10 chest strap replaces the previous version, the Polar H9.

The Polar H10 is compatible with PM4, PM3, PM2+ and PM2 monitors as long as you have Concept2's heart rate receiver and cable (PN 1862). PM4 monitors with serial number >310100000 and current firmware can connect to ANT+ heart rate straps. All PM4s can use the Concept2 heart rate receiver kit to connect a Polar H9 chest strap by 5 kHz technology.

The Polar H10 Bluetooth and ANT+ heart rate transmitter fits chest sizes 30–45 inches. This chest belt features a user-replaceable battery, is water-resistant, and is compatible with dozens of mobile fitness apps. It can be used in a group without interference from other heart rate sensors.

H10 replaces the previous version, the Polar H9

The Polar H10 Heart Rate Sensor is the upgraded version of the Polar H9. The H10 is the most accurate heart rate sensor in Polar's history and is used by many pro athletes. The H10 comes with the Polar Pro strap, which has extra interference-preventing electrodes and slip-preventing silicone dots, ensuring maximum precision for heart rate readings. The H10's battery lasts approximately 400 hours, making it an excellent choice for ultra-long training sessions.

The Polar H9 is a pared-back version of the H10, with slightly fewer features and a different strap. The H9 is an excellent choice for those looking for a basic, affordable, yet high-quality device to track their heart rate. It comes with the Polar Soft strap, which is easy to use and machine-washable. The H9 is highly reliable and offers excellent value for money, making it a great option for those just starting with heart rate tracking.

The H10 and H9 both use Bluetooth and ANT+ technologies to connect to various training devices, apps, and Polar sports watches. They are worn on the chest with a chest strap, which ensures accurate heart rate readings by measuring the electrical activity of the heart. The chest strap needs moisture to function, so users must have water handy to activate the sensor.

While the H10 offers increased accuracy, battery life, and features compared to the H9, the H9 is a more affordable option that still delivers reliable performance. The choice between the two depends on the user's specific needs and budget.

H10 is water-resistant and has a user-replaceable battery

The Polar H10 is a water-resistant heart rate sensor. It is suitable for swimming and can be used for water activities, although the Bluetooth® wireless technology will not work in water. It is important to note that sea and pool water are very conductive, and electrodes may short-circuit, preventing the heart rate sensor from detecting electrically measured signals. To avoid this, ensure that the battery compartment is well-closed after battery changes. The H10 has a user-replaceable battery, with a press-in battery cover. The battery type is CR2025.

The H10's water resistance makes it a good choice for those who want to track their heart rate during swimming or other water-based activities. While the Bluetooth® connection won't work underwater, the data can still be transferred to the Polar Beat mobile app after the swim.

To ensure the best performance when swimming with the H10, it is recommended to wear the heart rate sensor underneath a bathing suit. This will help improve the accuracy of the heart rate readings.

In terms of battery replacement, the H10's battery cover has received some criticism for its "snap-in" design, which may be less secure than the previous coin-screw design. However, the snap-in cover is easier to put on and take off, especially if the previous cover became stuck due to salt and crud build-up.

Overall, the Polar H10's water resistance and user-replaceable battery make it a convenient choice for those who want to track their heart rate during swimming or other water activities.
