How would you compare it to the wahoo tickr fit that goes also on your arm?
Thanks Des. I always love to watch your videos. Very into the stuff of tech fitness. ?
which is the most accurate spot on upper arm?
Nice reivew, Des. I am still waiting for my COROS HR monitor to arrive ?
Nice work, thanks for the great information!
Thanks for testing weights/hiit, i ?that about this channel, Des! My polar H10 turns on when I start a work out on my Garmin. Does the Verity Sense not do that? How strange! Is it easy to turn on and does it connect easily once on? Thanks for answers from Anyone! ?
What's the difference if i wear the watch itself on my arm?
Great stuff, Des! Mine is in the mail.
During the long runs and hot days I often get rush from the chest strap. I’m happy I was able to join the testing phase and have to say this HRM works well. The comfort is great, even after 14h of activity I didn’t feel it at all. And I was amazed how good the optical sensor can work if you place it on the upper arm. We were able to compare data from watch, chest strap and HR31 and even when watch OHR failed to show correct data, HR31 was identical with chest strap.
A Polar Vantage V2 or GritXPro2 watch with a H10 is pretty standard for cycling so you can capture on you Edge and have you Power data all together in 2 systems and easily exported to Strava, TP and other APPs. If Coros is going add features and updates I think it will be a nice alternative to add to this growing collection of bands that allow you to wear a jewelry watch but discreetly capturing data.
I was part of the beta test and really enjoyed the HRM. It was great for cycling in particular because the wrist based HRM has never worked consistently with cycling. I wore my Coros HRM above my bicep, closer to the shoulder than the elbow and that was a great spot for consistent data.
bought a chest strap (garmin hrm) several months ago and it has been probably the second or third best decision of my recreational running life.
Been beta testing for a month now and really impressed with the product. Love the ability to connected to 3 devices, syncs right to my watch and zwift.
Love things that just work!
Thanks. I'd like a comparison of the major armband heart rate monitors. I definitely prefer it to the chest monitors. How does Coros compare to Polar, Wahoo, Scosche, etc.
I’m in the Polar eco. Verity has been out for a while. Any idea if/when they’ll be an update? Not thrilled with having to start it before you start your actual workout. Would be nice if you had the option of starting from your watch.
Have any concerns with chaffing, like under your arm against the upper part of your ribs? I just wonder with the arm swing during a run and the HR band fabric rubbing against your upper ribcage.
As a beta tester for 3 months, I can verify that it was mentioned and brought up about the color of the strap and future colors will be released. I compared to H10 for those months and reported my data but never had any major discrepancies. Granted this was only for running but it works wonderfully! Super comfortable and practically forget it is there!
Does this track sleep?
If you have the vertix 2 — I wonder if it’s worth it to get it.
Unfortunately I already got the polar verity sense. It works very well . Highly recommend arm band HRM, COROS or Polar.
