These two are the market leaders, but the Polar H10 is streets ahead in future proofing your investment. We discuss Heart Rate Variability, DFAa1, ECG Apps, Duel Channel BlueTooth and much more.

My first generation TICKR was lovely from 2015 to 2020. The new TICKR has never worked well. Constant pairing issues with the ELEMNT Bolt, roasting batteries within 2 months, (Used to get nearly a year out of the old one, ) and Heart Rate errors of 40+bpm. Wahoo customer service aren't much help.

The Polar H10 is the only HRM that I haven't been able to kill, Garmin, Wahoo, Magene etc all died within 6 months.

Maybe I'm missing something, but you said both devices had dual Bluetooth connectivity early in the video. Then you focused on how you prefer the Polar because it has dual Bluetooth connectivity. You discuss Heart Rate Variability and DFAa1, but is it not a 3rd party app that calculates this? You end by saying, "this is the one to choose for all of those reasons". Assuming both do have dual Bluetooth, what other reasons did you give? Thanks.

Did you say Wahoo easy to change battery? Every time I change the battery I break the cap. It is a common problem, it has little tabs that are easy to break.

the polar verity sense optical hrm is also excellent. it doesn’t measure hrv but has two bluetooth channels and a recording/storing capacity: useful for activities where a watch can’t be worn, eg. boxing.

Haha, I've just had delivered today a Polar H10.... I'm hoping to use this for DFA1 alpha testing... I'd love to hear your thoughts / video on using it for a test..

My Wahoo Tickr is very unreliable. Using it with zwift it drops connection or throws wildly inaccurate readings regularly

[vogtek]

Generally I love my wahoo ELEMNT but the Tickr is a joke. First one ate batteries for breakfast and was soon replaced on warranty. The new one after a year completely stopped pairing up. Definitely not due to overuse as I am a complete amateur runner/cyclist

Sorry, I'm not understanding what's better about the Polar than the Tickr X. From what I can tell it has dual bluetooth and can get HRV so is Polar more accurate or what is the difference?

[xelionizer]

That Wahoo unit you have on display in the video doesn't look like the Tickr X, it looks like the standard gen 3 one???

I have the Polar H10. All the sotware I have seen has been geared around fitness training. I was wondering if the H10 could be useful to my father who is 80 for diognistic purposes as apposed to sport?

[henrivdm]

Would you still recommend the Polar H10 ahead of the Wahoo TICKR 2 X ?

[Kobor_Tamas]

Does Polar H10 cooperate well with Garmin watches?

[nirosta]

Good day. Do you know when the new Polar H11 will come out? 2. And what do you think the new H11 or the new Wahoo will be able to control oxygen saturation? 3. If you have a lot of hair on your chest, will the Polar H10 still be able to measure your heart rate? .-, -

[jamesmahoney]

Apologies for dumb question but will both pair with Zwift? I have an old Polar and old Garmins they will not

[basil]

Hi, any alternative to the Wahoo chest strap?

[BernardGCZ]

How does the Polar H10 compare to the Garmin HRM Pro?

[simongrushka]

Tickr X has dual blutooth.
Apps are much better for tickr, while (on the android) polar's app is retarded (eg requires gps all the time etc). H10 is better for HIIT execrices as it 'catches up' with sudden increases of heart rate. unless you do hiit/hict i'd stick to tickr X

[viqol]

Wahoo tickr is a joke. After 2 years of rather little usage it broke (gives false readings by huge margin)
