I originally bought this to use with my Garmin Edge for cycling. No issues and is much less finicky than broadcasting from my Garmin Forerunner watch. I then decided to pair this with my Forerunner to use this for strength training. Some arm movements and the usage of straps would sometimes result in weird tracking on the Forerunner. Now have perfect tracking using the Polar.

I have been using a chest heart rate strap for 5 years. Every summer I get bad chaffing on my chest from the strap. I also find the chest strap not very comfortable. I have been using the Polar OH1+ for two weeks and love it. First, and most importantly, the heart rate data seems very accurate. Second, I forget I am even wear the arm strap until after the run when I am taking off all of my running gear. This is a great products.

Product never turned on. Battery didn't work, or is defective. Charged several times and never worked out of the box.

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.

Nachdem ich vorher mit mehreren Brustgurten ohne Erfolg rumprobiert hatte wollte ich mal diesen optischen Pulsmesser ausprobieren. Und in der Tat hat es direkt ohne Schwierigkeiten funktioniert, die Pulsmessung scheint dabei recht zuverlässig zu sein. Das Tragegefühl am Unterarm finde ich persönlich viel angenehmer als bei einem Brustgurt, und der Kontakt ist auch verlässlicher.Die Kopplung funktionierte einwandfrei sowohl mit dem Smartphone und der Polar Beat App als auch mit meinem TeasiOne Fahrrad-Navi.Also Kaufempfehlung!

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.

Estuve utilizando Polar Wearlink+ con mi app iRunner para recorridos en bicicleta por mucho tiempo pero preferí buscar una opción más rápida y cómoda como el Polar OH1+. Desde el primer uso, todo funcionó perfectamente bien. Se vincula de inmediato con iRunner y como puedo grabar sesiones, también al terminar mi recorrido en bicicleta, descargo los datos a la app Polar Flow. Muy contento con mi Polar OH1+

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.

Serves it's purpose, cross checked with my Apple watch series 4, good consistency across the two.I find it useful to be able to track activities without my phone.

Background: my Apple Watch series 4 often does not record my heart rate (no readings for 4 out of my last 10 runs), and sometimes reads impossibly high, over 200 bpm max, and 180+ bpm average (I'm too old and not pushing hard enough for such readings). For resting heart rate, the Apple Watch is fine. And while cycling, I dislike wearing chest straps, because it's too cold to put on on a chilly morning, and it often feels like it is slipping. I bought the Polar OH1+ to use standalone (not paired to anything) while running, and to use paired to my Garmin Edge 510 while cycling.Notes: 1) Although the material indicates that it comes with a goggles clip for swimming, there are actually two of them of different sizes in the box. 2) There are 3 different apps you may need -- if you use it unpaired and upload the data to your phone, then you need Polar Beat on your phone and a Polar Flow account on their website; if you use it paired to a watch or cycling computer and upload the data to your phone, then you need Polar Flow on your phone; if you upload the data to your PC with their USB dongle, and not through your phone or watch, then you need a Polar Flow account on their website, and Polar FlowSync on your PC. 3) None of the apps tell you how much battery life remains -- you have to rely on the LED color and blinking pattern. 4) It doesn't pair with the Apple Watch.Although figuring out which apps I needed was a bit confusing, the Polar OH1+ is just so much more convenient to wear, works well and is just as accurate as chest straps (see https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2019/03/polar-oh1-plus-optical-hr-sensor-in-depth-review.html for a detailed review).
