About the rating
Reviews are technically specific — they name specific models (H10, Polar Sense), specific bugs (losing a minute when the date changes at midnight, no Live Activities), and compare with previous versions.
A mismatch is an analytical signal, not proof that the rating was manipulated.
Strengths
What users love
- With a stable connection it delivers accurate real-time heart rate zone data better than Apple Watch.
Weak spots
What users hate
- No Live Activities — to see your heart rate during a workout you have to unlock the phone every time.
Who it is for
Owners of Polar chest heart rate monitors willing to tolerate unreliable Bluetooth
