Polar H10 vs H7 - Where are the differences?
Where are the differences?
Let's take the two heart rate sensors H10* and H7* of the brand Polar and look at the differences.
Heart rate measurement
Both sensors have the ECG measurement. This is very accurate and is recommended rather than the optical measurement.
We have a chest strap on both devices. So it is measured over the chest. This is classic for ECG sensors.
Connection options
Bluetooth has become a very popular option for connecting heart rate sensors and pulse belts. Both the Polar H10 and the Polar H7 offer this. The connection via Bluetooth is mostly used for cell phones or fitness watches. Some new devices in fitness studios also offer Bluetooth as an option.
The standard ANT+ less known. However, it is often used in the field of sports. Some finte watches, especially from Garmin and Polar, support the form of the connection. ANT+ offers you only the Polar H10 in this comparison.
The possibility of 5kHz, also known as Gymlink, have the Polar H10 and the Polar H7. The 5kHz is, as Gymlink says, mostly used for equipment in the gym. These include, for example, treadmills or bicycle ergometers.
Waterproof
Both heart rate sensors from the comparison are waterproof. Up to 30 m both devices can be used under water
Belt
Most heart rate sensors can be adjusted in size. This is especially relevant for chest straps. The minimum belt length of the Polar H10 is 51,0 cm. The maximum length for the Polar H10 is 93,0 cm. The Polar H7 has a maximum belt length of 96,0 cm.
