FAQ

Does Polar OH1 provide real-time heart rate variability (HRV) data during exercise?

Polar OH1 does not provide real-time heart rate variability (HRV) data during exercise. It is primarily designed to measure heart rate with high accuracy using optical heart rate technology.

Polar H10 is a more suitable device for HRV data. The H10 sends heart rate data to compatible devices and apps, which can then process and display HRV, but this usually happens after a workout rather than in real time.

For more detailed information on these devices, you can visit the following Polar support articles:

What is the battery life expectancy of Polar OH1, and is it user-replaceable?

Polar OH1 is rechargeable, and it has a battery life expectancy of approximately 12 hours of continuous use per charge. This should be sufficient for most training sessions and daily activities before needing to recharge.

For further information and detailed support, you can check the following articles from Polar's official website:

How does Polar OH1 differ from Polar Verity Sense?

Polar OH1 and Polar Verity Sense are both optical heart rate sensors from Polar, designed to offer flexible, accurate heart rate tracking. However, they do have some key differences that cater to different user needs:

  1. Positioning and Versatility:
    1. Polar OH1 can be worn on the arm or clipped to swimming goggles (to measure heart rate from the temple). It is highly versatile but primarily designed for these specific positions.
    2. Polar Verity Sense, an updated and more versatile version, expands the mounting options. It can be worn on the arm, temple (with goggles), or even on the leg for specific sports like cycling or ice skating. This increased versatility makes it suitable for a broader range of activities.
  2. Broadcasting Channels:
    1. Polar OH1 supports broadcasting heart rate data via Bluetooth to compatible devices and apps.
    2. The Verity Sense, on the other hand, adds ANT+ connectivity in addition to Bluetooth. This allows it to connect simultaneously to multiple devices, such as bike computers and smart watches, making it more flexible for multisport athletes.
  3. Memory and Battery Life:
    1. The OH1 has an internal memory that can store up to 200 hours of training data and a battery life of up to 12 hours per charge.
    2. The Verity Sense improves on this with memory capacity for up to 600 hours of training data and a battery life of up to 20 hours, catering to longer training sessions and less frequent charging needs.
  4. Water Resistance:
    1. Both sensors are water-resistant, but the Verity Sense offers improved performance in water, making it more suitable for swimmers and triathletes.
  5. Additional Features:
    1. The Verity Sense also includes a built-in gyroscope to detect the orientation and movement of the arm, which can be helpful in sports that involve distinct arm movements, like swimming.

These differences make Polar Verity Sense a more flexible and feature-rich option, particularly appealing to multisport athletes who need a wide range of connectivity options and longer battery life. Polar OH1, while slightly more limited in features, is still a robust choice for those needing reliable heart rate tracking without the extra features.

For more detailed information, you can visit the following support articles from Polar:

What is Polar Flow and is Polar OH1 compatible with it?

Polar Flow is a comprehensive fitness and training platform provided by Polar. It works as an online service and mobile application where users can plan, sync, and share their training activities. It provides detailed insights into training sessions, activity levels, and overall physical performance. Users can set up training targets, analyze their workouts, and track their progress over time, making it an integral tool for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.

Polar OH1 is indeed compatible with Polar Flow. It can sync data with the Polar Flow app via Bluetooth, allowing you to analyze your heart rate data and training sessions directly through the platform. This compatibility makes it easy to monitor and adjust your training plans based on the insights you gain from your performance data.
