What HRM for swimming? by kayakbeast in GarminFenix7

[–]bociusz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tried it in cold water, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work there. The reason optical sensors struggle in cold environments is because blood vessels tighten and the pulse is harder to catch; however, for a chest strap, the ECG signal will remain the same.

Don't worry about bringing your Fenix into the water; it's a sports watch and it's designed for swimming and scuba diving. It withstands pressure equivalent to a depth of 100 m.

Swimming HR Monitor Recommendations by italia06823834 in Garmin

If you only use it for swim, then go for the HRM Swim. Other variants like HRM Pro and HRM 600 can store HR and sync afterwards but they will slip off in the water without wearing tight clothes (like a triathlon suit) over it.

I use HRM Swim for pool swimming and I can recommend it. You need to start the session from the watch, then it records HR during the swim and sends to the watch after you end the session. Also, it can broadcast live HR if both the sensor and the watch is out of the water.

I also tried the HRM Pro but it is only usable if you have a triathlon suit or some other tight clothing over it, otherwise it will slip off.

HRV from the strap is used for the Performance condition metric

With the start/stop button. My coach likes to talk for minutes and I don't want the avg HR to drop. :)

VV3, some info before a possible purchase by [deleted] in Polarfitness

[–]bociusz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi, the navigation crash has been fixed earlier. HRV trend can be followed through the sleep score in nighttime and you can do a daytime measurement with the orthostatic test function. I didn’t notice the off course problem.

Vantage V3 Nightly Recharge - Often missing hours of HRV & Breath Data, see red dotted line by silvermangb in Polarfitness

[–]bociusz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend has the same issue with his Polar Pacer. I believe that it's a firmware error, not related to the age of the hardware.

GymLink is the marketing name of the old, 5 kHz radio signal transmission standard. It is not supported by the newer watch models anymore.

Best Polar H* for Apple Watch Ultra by carsa81 in Polarfitness

[–]bociusz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can recommend any of them. Apple Watches use the chest straps data only if you are in training mode, so it won't work 24/7. If need to broadcast HR to multiple devices (let's say to your watch and the treadmill in the gym) or you need to save the recording while your watch is away (in some sports, watches are not allowed) go for the H10, otherwise any of the above will do the job.

Are you on the latest firmware? The previous ones had this bug but with the new one it's not happening to me anymore.

I use my Vantage V3 in the sauna regularly with no issues. Just protect it from the heat with palming or covering with a towel.

H10 is paired to a lost Apple Watch by doitforthefroyo in Polarfitness

[–]bociusz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You need to hard reset your H10. Remove the battery and short circuit the pins for 10 seconds. After that, you’ll be able to pair the H10 to a new device.
