Hi, i am looking for Polar heart Rate Monitor and there are 2 options which are;
Chest and Arm Strap.
Anyone here had purchased and use it for training or monitoring?
1) I would like to know is the chest strap possible slipping down to tummy during running work out?
2) Is the antislip on rubber band there still intact after many time washed.
2) Is Arm Strap Verify Sense heart rate measure method is ECG? Because Chest Strap got mentioned.

I'm using Polar H10 chest strap.

1. It's adjustable depending how tight you want the elastic strap to be
2. Not sure what you mean by antislip. Been using since early MCO but maybe only once or twice a week and still working fine. Of course, over time the rubber contact parts might degrade and the strap needs replacement

No idea, I just pair it with my phone. But I doubt smart band can select pairing with another BT device. Smart watch maybe can pair but this is just my guess

Have you facing any issue regarding to HR reading when using this H10?
Example: Reading inaccurate due to strap/ too wet/ too dry/ strap to tight/ weak battery?

My H10 strap last 2 years plus with 1 change of battery with usage like twice a week. At the end of life, the reading can stay normal like 100+ BPM then suddenly drop to 60 over the next 15 mins then back to normal again

i did some study from google and youtube. Conclusion is probably is Chest Strap two button there has problem.
The solution is ex-change the strap for RM199/ piece. Wow, that's quite half of new unit.
