Accurate and really long battery. Thats all that is needed
? normal coffee shop, a special Amsterdam one after work out would be way too much too handle.
– looks good been thinking about the coros stuff instead of garmin, got a Suunto 9 had a while the app is rubbish and watch has started freezing.
Think is this tech just doesn’t last long overall it sucks
I did a search for COOSPO on your channel but did not find anything. Have you done any reviews on that brand? They have several different products and come in quite a bit cheaper than COROS or Polar.
Great review! Thanks!
Will the battery life of a watch be longer by using an external HR sensor? I'm assuming that the battery cost of the Bluetooth connection is lower than the optical HR sensor from the watch.
I would not say that the battery of the Coros HRM is more or less like the Polar Verity Sense's. It's about twice as much time. If you're referring to the missing button to turn it on/off, so that just keeping it on without doing anything means it's still consuming battery, so you can take care to remove it or at least turn it upside down so it won't recognize being worn.
I bought a Scosche based on reviews and it is not even as good as a Garmin watch HR monitor. I am a .. serious.. athlete with decades of HR data currently recovering from heart surgery and it’s important to me to actually know what is going on. I still cannot trust this data but would be really interested in a long term review. If I am doing any kind of a real workout I only trust my HR strap.
does Bluetooth-only mean it won't pair with Zwift if I am broadcasting power+cadence via Apple TV (device limit is 2)?
USB-A is an immediate dead-in-the-water move for me.
Love your quality reviews!! Completely off topic, but i heard you mention trainer road and zwift, how do you combine them? do you have a prefference for either of the two, and why? maybe worth a video ?
"What do I know about sports tech" made me laugh out loud???
I read your article about this and you say that the most accurate position for a HR monitor is on your upper arm. Do you mean for this particular unit or in general for all HR monitors? I always thought conventional wisdom is that the Chest was the best place for a HR monitor.
Can i just wear the watch itself on my arm since i have a small arm? Technically it should yield the same results?
Keep it on arm not to loose it after the workout but to save the battery flip it over. This way will not touch the skin and it will stop. You're welcome 😉
My second Garmin strap just disintegrated after 1 – 1.5 years of use… The glue and the rubber just don't hold up. I don't even swim in a swimming pool. If you want recording, non-optical, running metrics, ant+ and bluetooth; do i even have an option other than buying another Garmin?
Got a COOSPO from AliExpress, £20 and even does HRV. Seems accurate compared with Garmin chest strap
But if my sports watch heart rate is accurate enough, why would I need a heart rate monitor that doesn't support running dynamics data?
Could you use the device names when you are comparing then instead of holding one and saying “this”. That requires constantly looking at screen instead of running in the background while listening:) or sometimes hard to understand which one you ate holding 6:41 also when you say “this is very well executes stability” what do you mean? Executed by the runner/you? Or another device capturing the data?
Why no comparison with Wahoo Tickr that I have found to be excellent. Turns on and off with good battery life, easy washable strap.
If they could get a bit more battery life out of it they could’ve made a much more compelling case I feel. I’m charging my Polar a lot and it’s rather annoying so I thought this could be an option but if it’s a wash then never mind ?
