10 reviews for Polar OH1 + Waterproof Optical Heart Rate Monitor with Swimming Goggle Strap Clip and Armband – HR Monitor with Bluetooth, ANT+

    This is the fourth Polar HR sensor I have owned in the past ten years, and the only reason I have been through that many is I lose one every couple of years at a gym.

    This far surpasses the chest rate monitors in comfort, while it seems to be just as accurate. That was a pleasant surprise to me because the last armband monitor I had a few years ago (made by another company) was not more reliable than a wrist-based monitor on a watch.

    I am using this with the Polar app because all I care about tracking are my minutes at different HR zones. I don’t like wearing a 24-hour watch like a Garmin because I find it distracting. This does everything I need it to do, and when I look at the app, I can see the data that matters to me.

    Great product, much simpler to use than a chest strap. It took me a few tries getting used to syncing the device with the Polar Beat app on my iPhone, but once I got the hang of it, it is very consistent and appears to be accurate. The sensor is very small and light and clips into an arm band that you can wear on your forearm or wrist.

     Loved this, my trainer recommended it to me to get more accurate readings through my workouts and monitor my heart more accurately than my Apple Watch as I have a heart condition. The trainer was able to monitor my heart rate through the class workouts and tell me when to pick up, when to pull back and it gave us both fantastic piece of mind.
    Outside of that it’s a brilliant asset to my workout in showing me where I can improve, measuring pace and pushing me to the next level.
    Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to a beginner or expert with or without a medical condition, it’s a great training tool.

    UPDATE: I was ultimately able to get in touch with Polar. Mailed the monitor back to them and got it back fairly quickly. Not sure whether they repaired my defective one or replaced it. Have had no issues since the warranty honored – so upping my rating from one star. Definitely far prefer arm to a chest monitor. much more convenient.
    #####################
    Over the years i have had nothing but frustration with chest strap heart rate monitors, primarily related to the difficulty replacing the battery. Also a hassle / inconvenient getting chest strap on.
    So after reading many reviews & getting recommendations from friends, i bought this monitor. For three months, i couldn’t have been happier! Easy to get on / off arm before and after workouts (primarily Zwift rides on my Wahoo KICKR). Fit well even if i was wearing tightfitting long sleeve shirt. Paired easily via Bluetooth with Zwift app. HR data seemed accurate. Knowing that i could track my HR hassle free with this monitor even increased my enthusiasm for my Zwift workouts… And it was great having a rechargeable battery (see below re: THE AGONY of replacing batteries in Polar chest monitors).

    Then couple weeks ago, the device suddenly stopped working. At first i thought i had not charged it enough between rides. But after charging again overnight, no difference – green light on indicating battery fully charged – but would not turn on. And then NO RESPONSE from Polar despite contacting their Support online and via email multiple times and providing serial # for hy OH1+. Hence I am giving up now and writing this 1 star review… I really thought i had finally found the perfect heart rate monitor after all these years but I guess now it is back to the drawing board…

    P.S. re: chest montiors – i previously had three Polar chest heart rate monitors that worked to varying degrees for varying times. All eventually became unusable because repeated attempts to try to open the back with a coin ground down the plastic so eventually had no way to open to replace the battery.… All still functioning – if i could get a new battery in – but useless once could not put in a replacement battery.

    If you’re serious about your workout data, you depend on the accuracy of your heart rate monitor. Unfortunately, most wrist based optical sensors are wildly inaccurate during activity. So that leaves you with two options: Chest strap, or arm based optical sensor. Chest strap being the gold standard for accuracy, but incredibly uncomfortable. That’s where optical arm based sensors come in. They fall into a happy medium of “good enough”. They are accurate, reliable, and more comfortable than a chest strap. If you’ve done your research, you know there are basically three options for arm based sensors – Wahoo, Scosche, and Polar. I won’t get into all the details (See DC Rainmaker for a good comparison between the three), but I will tell you why Polar is the right choice.

    The polar OH1+ comes with a “goggle clip”. Meaning, if you’re a triathlete, you can clip the HR monitor to your goggles while you swim and it will record your temporal pulse for accurate HR data. That in itself is a nice feature, but what polar doesn’t mention, and perhaps more importantly, is that you can use the clip anywhere there is reliable pulsation and a flat area of skin. Enter the “waist clip”. I started to clip the monitor into my running shorts and cycling bibs and found that it will accurately record HR data from the femoral pulsation. Perhaps even better data than the arm (More stable, less light penetration, stronger pulsation etc). This means no arm band, no chest strap, just a small clip into my shorts which is secure and hidden. This takes comfort and accuracy to another level. For this reason alone, this is the only optical HR monitor to consider.

    Awesome.

    This is easy to pair with my Coros gps watch and much more accurate than the watch was. It doesn’t bother me when it is on. I use it for running and strength training and it responds quickly to heart rate changes. I really appreciate not having to wear something on my chest, since I already have a sports bra and a running vest that needs to be strapped there. The only thing I don’t like is that the battery life is very short. I don’t run that much, and I have to charge it at least once a week. In comparison, I charge my Coros only once a month. Also, there should be better instructions on where on your arm to place it. It took a little experimenting to find the right spot.

    I cannot believe how much more accurate this is as opposed to my Fitbit Versa 2. It is comfortable and easy to use. The only thing I don’t like is the charger. It seems fragile and I tend to break things pretty easily.

    Ware würde schnell geliefert, und funktioniert reibungslos. Man muss das Gerät erst aufladen, aber das ist kein Problem. Einfach zu bedienen. Ich finde die polar Apps hilfreich.

    Nach der erste Einheit im Wasser bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Gerät.
