Heart rate measurement without frills
For me, the OH1 is the ultimate in heart rate measurement.
Chest straps are accurate but terribly uncomfortable and slip. Optical sensors on the wrist are useless in winter, especially in sub-zero temperatures, the blood flow in the wrist is not great (->ungau) and also the wrist has to be free of fabric.
I don't notice the OH1 at all when I wear it, it's small and not a problem in winter as I can wear it under my running clothes. I use it with my iPhone and Polar Flow or Strava. Works great.Recommended purchase
I use the OH1 with the Garmin Fenix 5s as an external HR sensor. The optical measurement with the sensor built into the Fenix works very poorly for me and my skin reacts allergically to a heart rate belt.
I wear the OH1 on the upper part of my forearm. It works perfectly here. Compared with the heart rate belt measurement, there is a small delay in the display (a few seconds).Pro
- Works perfectly even with Garmin watch.
- Is skin-compatible.
Contra
- Not useful for HRV analyses.
Good, cheap, a little uncomfortable
Tiptop, completely fulfils the purpose. Significantly more accurate than HR measurement on the wrist!
Pro
- as presented
- favourable
Contra
- a little uncomfortable on the upper arm, but is probably every band
- Battery life well (you just have to charge frequently)
Very good product
Very good product and extremely convenient to use
Excellent value for money
Pro
- Précis
- Discreet
- Long battery life
- Reasonable price
- Possibility of doing a "fitness test" with the Polar Beat app (but not Polar Flow)
Contra
- Polar's apps are a little old and unintuitive (but they work)
Nothing works without "chnüblä"
The OH1 needs a different holder for every situation. I mounted my OH1 on my swimming goggles and lost it on the first twenty metres. Great... Fortunately I found it again after a long search. The various clips are Rappen parts but only included as one piece each. It is a matter of time that a holder gets lost and you can no longer attach the sensor to the strap of the swimming goggles or the charging clip. I would like the clip for the swimming goggles to hold securely.
Pro
- Size
- Waterproof
Contra
- A clip is required for loading
- It requires a clip for fastening
- A Clio is again required to attach it to the arm
