aquaratza Posted August 15, 2020 Share I bought a Polar OH1 a while back. The device needed a firmware update, but the desktop software (the only way to update it) refused to recognise the device because the "serial number is invalid". Polar gave me the run around, telling me to reboot my PC, even though the log files clearly indicated an error from their servers. I took it back. I generally use a Wahoo Tickr X (built in memory, dual ANT/BT). Works nicely. The Garmin soft strap units are also decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BicyclePower Posted August 16, 2020 Share Take a look at the range of iGPSPORT sensors, all of which are dual ANT+ and BLE. Their HR40 is around R900 and the wrist HR60 around R1200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WR 1.0 Posted August 16, 2020 Share At R450 this is hard to beat for value. Mine has been faultless since I bought it about a year agohttps://www.decathlon.co.za/p/8334795_dual-ant-bluetooth-smart-runner-s-heart-rate-monitor-belt.html ChrisF and shaper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MudLark Posted August 16, 2020 Share I have only had a Garmin chest strap heart rate monitor and a Polar H 10. As a comparison between the two, I can tell you that the Polar is by far the better product. It picks up the heart rate much more quickly than the Garmin does, the strap is much harder wearing and longer lasting and seems more comfortable than the Garmin one (for me anyway) and it has the advantage that it can connect to a number of devices simultaneously. I will not buy Garmin again if I have a choice between Garmin and Polar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
