User questions & answers

Question:	Does the Polar H10 count calories burned during use
Answer:	Yes on the app. It also provides the fat burn % of calories. It also shows heart rate zones, and zones where you were working out to get fit vs burning fat.
Question:	Does the strap provide continuous heart rate monitoring? Can I wear it
Answer:	The monitor is continuous as long as you're wearing it. You'd need something to log the data - the app is setup for workouts but it might let you have a workout without a time limit. I don't know how comfortable it would be to wear 24/7 - especially when you were sleeping. In truth, a better option would likely be a heart rate enabled fitness monitor like a fit-bit (I've used both a charge 3 and a Alta-HR). I wear it 24/7 and it does exactly that. Good luck.
Question:	What are sizes for polar heart rate monitir
Answer:	The XS-S has a stretched adjustable range of 21-38". The M-XXL is 27-60". The XXL size is between 29-70". - MikePolarUSA
Question:	To those with experience changing battery, is the flip cap easy to open/close? H7 used a coin slot on soft plastic, so edges rubbed off=hard to open
Answer:	I found the H7 to be of the poorest design compared to the ease of changing the battery in the H10. I can’t tell you how many of my clients disliked the H7. I think you will love the ease of the H10 battery replacement.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with my waterrower which is ant+ and all gym equipment which is polar compatible
Answer:	Yes and no. It will work with any Ant+ or Bluetooth equipment. However, a lot or older gym equipment only supports an obsolete non-coded Polar interface.
Question:	Does this strap transmit running metrics also such as cadence,vertical oscillation and stride length
Answer:	I have a forerunner 620 and using the HRM-Dual with that I get metrics including cadence, vertical oscillation, and ground contact time. I don't get those metrics if I'm not wearing the HRM-Dual when I run.
Question:	I cant get this to connect to my android phone using strava or garmin connect i dont know why
Answer:	The heart rate strap won't connect to a phone. It will only connect to a Garmin device, such as an Edge or a Forerunner.
Question:	How is this different from the garmin premium heart rate monitor? or, what does the "dual" in the name indicate? thanks
Answer:	Dual means that it supports both Ant+ and Bluetooth concurrently and also can support two Bluetooth devices concurrently. Many bicyclists have lots of devices they want their chest straps to communicate with and this can talk to both kinds/protocols.
