  1. Wow. Perhaps the best ever Youtube "how to" anything I've ever watched. Covers what you want to do, how you might want to do it, AND most importantly a complete explanation of they why, in this case the difference between the underlying tech on HRS vs HR sports watch depends on physiology, which is kinda the point. HRS monitor on phone, HRS monitor on dedicated sports watch. Been using Polar HRS with phone app, which obviously is PITA when you are on the go, Especially when using for hiking, like in phone unfriendly environments like a driving rain. OTA hand being an older (66) , uh hi BMI like 33 and undertrained I need a 99% + accurate BPM when I'm crawling up the last of that 800ft climb. Just got a Garmin inspire, understood that some BPM variability. Used for first time last night on a stair climber and spent more time trying to comprehend the quantitative and time-lag differences between G and Polar HRS/Phone than I actually did on the activity, which involved a lot of sweat and blood flow. So thank you for that. Awesome. Now over to AMAZON to order the , wallah, Garmin HRS. ??. I will be back to check out rest of channel, as noted need training for hiking. Best

  4. I thought my cheap Decathlon strap was not working anymore. I didn’t know the water thing with the sensors. I just swiped the sensors with a damp washcloth and now it works! Thank you!

  5. If you are the proud owner of a Galaxy 4 watch, get yourself a chest strap monitor because the watch HR latency is a real problem

  7. I hear good things about the Polar H10, I’m thinking about getting one and pairing it to my Apple Watch.

  8. Hi Dear one just wanna ask u if i can use it to monitor my horse heart rate after some workout pls advice and which one shall i use

  10. Minor correction, I think. At about the 3 minutes mark – Apple devices do not support ANT+ “natively” are more readily compatible with Bluetooth LE, as opposed to the ANT+ type of wireless signal.

    And many Android devices support ANT+ “natively” but should also have Bluetooth LE compatibility as well.

  11. Chest strap only really accurate way to train, Thanks for your review. Unfortunately wrist based heart rate monitors are still very inaccurate, via the 6X Pro. Complete difference from wrist vs when I put my Chest strap on.

  13. Hi (3:00) – Not sure that Apple Watch is supporting Ant+ (as it is a protocol developed by Garmin). I would say that Android and Apple are supporting Bluetooth strap. Garmin watches are compatible with both bluetooth and Ant+.

  14. Thanks for this video! I was searching for a video from a woman's perspective. As I have a large chest, I was wondering how this would work. I appreciate your detailed info.

  17. Super helpful video…it's been so long since I had one of the first generation Polar systems, I had no idea which direction to take lol. Thanks for all the info!

  19. The question I want to ask is, what watch should I buy to display the heartate of my chest strap. I dont want to buy an expensive apple watch JUST to display my reading in real time with a beep if I go iver
