About Polar OH1+ Optical Heart Rate Sensor
Overall Feedback:
71% positive
67% were satisfied with the display
The Precor workout display on the AMT and other ellipticals requires a 5Khz transmitter, which is built into most Polar chest straps.
I like the Polar Beat display on my tablet with color coded graphing to monitor my heart rate and progress at a glance.
71% appreciated the battery life, however, 29% didn't
The battery life may be limited for day-hikes exceeding 6-7 hours, but it is suitable for most activities.
I am only getting 4-5 hours of battery life even though the documentation claims 12 hours. I turned off some functions to save battery.
77% were satisfied with the accuracy
The accuracy of my heart-rate-monitor is comparable to a chest strap but with a few seconds of delay. I also noticed 6+ seconds of delay on hardcore intervals with fast changes.
