If your heart rate monitor is ANT+ compatible, the metric for your heart rate will automatically appear in the top left of your touchscreen. Please note, your heart rate monitor must be on prior to starting the class. To make sure your heart rate monitor is on, ensure the sensors are lightly wet (with water or sweat) before placing the leads on your chest.
STEP ONE: First, it's critical that you actually strap on your heart rate monitor across your chest. It helps to add a touch of water to the back rubber part of the strap as well. A heart beat and/or heat is required to 'wake up' the heart rate monitor and initiate a signal.

STEP TWO: Pair with a compatible App or Device. Generally, the Powr Labs will work with most Apps and Devices that are set-up to accept either Bluetooth or ANT+ pairing with external heart rate devices.
*NOTE > Strava no longer pairs with external devices (as of Oct 2019), Apple Health does not pair with third party heart rate monitors without an Apple Watch and Google Fit does not pair without a compatible ANT+ watch.
As of November 2020 Strava has officially reintroduced the heart rate monitor pairing feature with its smartphone app for all users. Mo-Fit Heart Rate Monitors are compatible with the Strava app.
PLEASE NOTE: As of September 2019 Strava discontinued their support for all external heart rate monitors. Bluetooth and ANT+ sensors will no longer pair directly with the Strava phone app.

Thanks for the detailed review. I am taking my fitness to the next level and want to start tracking my heart rate. I have seen a lot of different reviews on using watches, bands, and bluetooth, that are mixed. This has confused me and kept me questioning the best root to go. The last time I looked into wireless technology ANT+ was the standard, but now I am intrigued by the H7 or Wahoo Bluetooth straps. I like the fact that the Polar H7 can work with equipment and I can add a watch, but can I do the same thing with the Wahoo strap? I am in my second month of P90 and will start riding my bike this spring. Would the Wahoo strap be the best choice for exercising at home? Any feedback, suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
Just one more thing on using a phone on your arm paired with the H7. What s the use of recording your heart rate if you can t see it while running or is the polar app telling you when your in your training zone? Can you run intervals with the polar app? Thanks
I have the polar beat app and a Mapmyfitness bluetooth strap. The strap pairs with the app fine and I can read heart rate during exercises and all of that. But when I try to use the extra fitness test feature it says that I need a compatible bluetooth heart rate monitor. How come it can pair with the app and the app obviously get data from it but it does not work with the extra features?
There are now a number of HRV monitoring apps out there that rely on R-R interval transmission from heart rate monitors. Unfortunately, the Wahoo strap does not broadcast R-R intervals, whereas the Polar H7 and the 4iiii Viiiiva do. HRV monitoring seems to growing in popularity (how about a review!), so this may be a factor to mention when examining bluetooth 4.0 heart rate monitor straps.
Hi Ray,Thanks for the review. I do have a question regarding bout this strap. I was thinking of getting it to monitor my heart rate when I play outdoor sports (mainly is basketball), and the phone normally will not be by my side, which I will leave it at the desk, will it still be able to monitor my heart rate?
Hi,What a great review.I have one question which I hope someone can answer.Will the App run in the background, will it capture heart-rate and exercise time if I jump in to a music app or other app such as camera?
Also, Is there any way to port Garmin vivofit data to Polar flow? I was thinking of getting the Garmin Vivofit to use as a tracker. I like the idea of no charging for a year.Or do I just keep separate workout and daily tracking data? I like the Polar analysis of heart rate data the best.
First I am looking for the most accurate R to R heart rate data during all conditions and levels of exercise for use with sophisticated Heart Rate Variation programs like Kubios, Firstbeat, and maybe Physionet. I am wondering if the Wahoo Blue is the most accurate? You seemed to implying that in your review but the review is quite dated. For sure it is not the H7 from my experience with it dropping out to zero and going whey high etc.. Basically having trouble following heart waveforms. Find It highly frustrating to get good data out if it. Seems like very primitive R to R identification circuitry (being an old electrical engineer) like a simple slicer. Also as I understand it, it has a software bug in its Bluetooth smart code that prevents it from re-syncing when sync is lost to device like a smart phone. Have been told this by software developer of program that uses BLE. My battery cover is just about shot after a couple of months of having to take off sensor removing battery and replacing to get it just to re-sync to programs like Senseview, HRM BLE etc. These are current problems with the H7 since I bought it in 2015 form Amazon.Your opinion on the best would be greatly appropriated. I have tried the Zypher smart which is better but not great. I was using the Suunto t6d. It was really sucked with constant link losses and having to re-sync the watch. Never got a couple hour session without at least a couple of link dropouts plus sensor dropouts.
I have never been able to get any consistent heart rate with the H7 while swimming with my Polar A300. I recently found out this has to do with the conductivity of the soft strap in chlorinated water. Is there any solution to this?Another strap that is less prone to shorting out in chlorinated water?
Is it possible to connect the H7 simultaneously to 2 devices (a Galaxy S7 and S5). I use the S5 as a bike computer (old/broken screen, no mobile contract) and the S7 is used in my safer back pocket to track my ride on strava (and play tunes). However I would like the heart rate data on both.
Whereas I had 70 views in the last 30 days in the Matlab community with my desperate attempt to make the GATT client-server scenario to connect a BLE heart rate sensor to Matlab more popular. I tried it in the Matlab community and in other communities. The only result I had that was that I was warned from different forum masters not spread SAPM in the forum.
The matter is very dry and needs time. I think it would be very attractive to be able to connect a BLE heart rate sensor to Matlab.It would be as far I know the only scientific tool (expept from Labview with an exorbitant price of about 4000 USD for ANT profiles if I remember right, which is available for real-time analysis of heart rate sensor data, to make for instance a determination of the accuracy of a heart rate sensor in a scientifically accepted way.
The best fitness app for Android and iPhone, Adidas Training by Runtastic is the perfect companion to take your workout to the next level. The app has a library of heart-rate-based training programs with different difficulty levels designed to help you reach peak performance in an hour or less. With over 500 exercises in the database, there is something for everyone.
The advantages this provides is the opportunity to see where a small change in power can lead to a big jump or decline in heart rate. This type of data becomes very helpful in hot conditions, or longer race efforts where pacing is challenging and critical.
As athletes begin to collect more heart rate and power data on themselves, this relationship and the key points of exponential change can likely become more clear, and training and racing strategies can be devised to maximize this.
Polar is a leading brand in consumer heart rate monitors. The new, high-end chest strap monitor, the Polar H10 ($89.95 on Amazon), has just about all of the bells and whistles you could want in a consumer heart rate monitor: built-in memory so you can capture your workout without a smartphone, extensive compatibility with 3rd party apps, extended battery life (an estimated 400 hours), a new easy-to-remove battery cover and a new, more secure chest strap.
Regarding data: The Tickr X stores full heart rate data, shown as a chart, plus max and average rates, workout time, calories burned and time spent in fat burn and burst modes (at maximum heart rate). 2ff7e9595c
