- Both the Lief and the Polar H10 + Elite HRV app offer best in class continuous heart rate variability monitoring. However, they both excel in different areas when it comes to stress and anxiety relief, customized breathing, sports performance, and others. In this video I answer the question: "which continuous heart rate variability wearable should I buy"?

HRV or Heart Rate Variability is a very strong determinant of how well you are handling emotional or physical stress at any given moment.
Please note: Neither device is capable of 24hr monitoring as the Lief needs to be charged overnight while the Polar needs to be occasionally manually synced with the Elite HRV app throughout the day. Using an Oura ring or similar clinically validated wearable to monitor your vitals during sleep is recommended.

Very useful information. Thank you for sharing.
Got my polar h10 yesterday and downloaded EHRV loving it
Great!!!
I’ve noticed the standing vs sitting thing as well while using my standing desk. I think it’s prolly this way for most people. Having to balance while standing is just one more thing for your brain to worry about while trying to focus on work.
That plays a role for sure. For me the HRV drop and HR creeping up would happen within a few minutes though, so that's when it's Dysautonomia
Leif sounds perfect. Do you know if available in UK or which to buy in UK if it’s not available here please?
I'll check out your lief review. I'm just learning of HRV and I haven't read anything suggesting to monitor it all day. It seems similar to blood pressure in that there's no point in checking it 24/7. From what I understand at this point, HRV isn't used for monitor and find out as you go rather it gives you an idea of what shape you're in to plan your day. I know theres more uses for the monitors like during training or meditation/breathing and I plan on using the h10 that should arrive today with a mind machine, but why would you monitor all day? The elite app and others establish a baseline with a single reading a day. Maybe your review will explain this and link the studies its based on. Subbed thanks for the vids
Thank you for the recommendation. I have a Polar 10 and just downloaded the Elite HRV App. Works great. Do you know if the values are RMSSSD?
When you click view all data at the end of a reading you will see both kinds of values
Very helpful thanks. When comparing gadgets like this, may I suggest showing it, explaining what it is, and how it works? Lief looks very interesting, but even looking at the website homepage I still don’t have a clue what it is and how it attaches to the body. On their FAQ finally I learn it’s a $49 or $99 monthly subscription program… for a leaf shaped device… that attaches to my body with stickers and a strap. I think. I work in branding/marketing/design… and never understand why companies don’t explain simply to potential customers what it is, and how it works. So many people will leave without bothering to find out.
That is a good point! I actually did a full review of the Lief here th-cam.com/video/x5ZIZZvZe8g/w-d-xo.html and link to it in this comparison video at: 3:40 but I could have verbally mentioned that to make it more obvious. I really appreciate all your thoughtful feedback btw. If you ever want to talk shop about biohacking in general you can message on IG or fb-- username is hrvhackers there.
What the heck?? I hate subscription fees!

@@HRVHackers much more appealing as an outright purchase, thanks for the link and code! Do you know if they allow you to rent it for one month to try out, and then purchase outright if you like it?
Yes I am pretty sure that they will allow that. Just contact them first to confirm 👌
Thanks for the review, unfortunately Lief isn't available outside of the US.
Check out Pulsetto th-cam.com/video/NZXiReL3sGE/w-d-xo.html or see other comments for potential work-around
I want something more accurate than a fit bit but my goal is to use it for the same function of tracking my steps taken, calories burned, sleep and heart rate. Would the polar H10 be a step up for that?
Interesting idea with the standing sitting, I know when Doctors are checking EKG of someone with an eating disorder they do laying and standing to rule out changes because of blood pressure with baroreceptors, I wonder if this is what you’re seeing?
Yeah , so it isn't full blown POTS but Orthostatic Hypotension yes
Do you know if there is an alternative to Leif that can read your heart rate and blood pressure in real time, but also saves your data during the day.
I doubt it but if you come across one let us know
I'm curious why Lief wouldn't be compatible with Elite HRV as it seems to meet their criteria. It would be nice to have access to that software with my Lief.
Agreed! The two companies would need to do a collab at some point to let this happen. Hopefully Lief will be showing more data in their app as well in the future
nice video! It's a shame that Lief does only provide the US with their product. Do you know a similar device?
You can try messaging Lief support on their website and offering to pay for Europe shipping, they may make an exception, depending on current demand
Nothing as good as Lief for now
@@HRVHackers I am in Thailand but will try my luck. I have noticed that many things from the states won't get shipped to Asia. It's a shame, as demand is available!
Indeed, let me ask my peeps at Lief as well. Usually most people watching my vids are from USA or Europe
@@HRVHackers thanks very kind of you!
How well did the lief work for anxiety management compared to touch points? Like I have constant anxiety when I leave the house and I stay in fight or flight and it has caused me to be unemployed since February. Also why does the vibration not work on your lief?
The effects from Touchpoints are pretty instant, sometimes even from the first few days. Lief takes time to work ( a couple of months) as it's retraining your nervous system via guided breathing biofeedback. I'm not sure when I said the vibration doesn't work on the Lief, but it works just fine 😀. I hope you get the relief from anxiety you deserve, I've been there! I'll also be posting more anxiety related content in future vids, but have you checked out the song Marconi Union weightless? It was shown to have strong anti anxiety effects in research, it helped me as well
You may find the Emwave2 by heartmath useful.
TK I'm biased towards Lief at this point, but IMO it definitely blows Heartmath away. 🙂
Great video
Is these continuous HRV smart watches available in. India?
Pl help
Yes the polar should be available worldwide. Lief is USA only
Have you tried HeartMath Inner Balance? I would be interested to see how it compares to Lief.
Lief is far more advanced than Heart math
When you runnout of the stickers . Do you think smaller electrode stickers from amazon work same or do they have to be 55 mm ?
I didn't have luck with the Amazon ones. Last I checked Lief sends you free replacement electrodes every month, so just use those?
@@HRVHackers in what way were the amazon not good? Stickyness or ?
I coild ask
But i assume itnwill cost 20
Dollars .. i live in europe also .
You can use a service that ships to Europe and have them ship multiple bags at once. The stickers results from amazo were inconsistent like sometimes they wouldn't read the HR data.
@@HRVHackers thx mate .
from elitehrv docs it seems lf hf data is available on mobile, maybe not as exhaustive as on dashboard
Not sure what you mean it's available for me. Try contacting their support if you're stuck
After purchasing on the basis of this video, I unfortunately realize the Polar H10 is incapable of continuous HRV (i.e. 24/7 HRV monitoring, even on a sample/snapshot basis). The H10/Elite combo is better characterized as a real-time HRV solution. This review is misleading.
Have since ordered the Lief as I want to understand my heart characteristics through the day, hope it is more of a continuous HRV.
Suggest changing the title of this video to ‘Advanced’ or ‘detailed’ HRV monitors.
Oh no, sorry about the misunderstanding and thanks for the feedback. Both these monitors offer gold standard continuous HRV snapshots, within a certain time period. I've taken pretty long readings with Polar, but at some point, yes you will have to sync it to the app and start a new reading. That's why I suggested the Lief for cases like this, as the trends feature will automatically read from morning till night, and then you can charge your Lief as you sleep
To be honest, the unpaid for Elite HRV App details go over my head, but nobody ever really explains what all the number mean and relate too.
There is a good Facebook group for elite hrv where you can learn more
I have both Polar H10 & Elite HRV. I definitely rate Polar high but Elite low, in terms of the hardware quality. The latter has failed to function properly after a few month use.
I'm not fully following. Elite HRV is an app which is software, not hardware?
@@HRVHackers They sell their own sensor which in my view is poorly designed and manufactured.
Ahh yes, the CorSense. Hopefully they will improve it! It does have some potential
It is sad that the leaf is not available in the EU.
Yes, it looks like they are dealing with a huge demand of orders right now, so they had to limit it to USA and Canada. They hope to resume international orders again in early 2022
It is but only to buy not to rent
Im looking into heart math inner balance and lief . Would theninner balance guve additional benefits to thenbenefits of lief? Or does lief cover everyhing that inner balance does with their trainings app etc?
Lief is way better IMO
@@HRVHackers thx 🙏 . I mean for the biofeedback breathing exercises wouldnt inner balance be better based on their app , and user friendyness ? Only asking regarding bio feedback training .
Lief is better and more effective at biofeedback training
@@HRVHackers ok thank you!
Sure Keep us posted
yeah, but their app crashes a lot and the custom breathing section hangs when you do the longer exercises... not particularly helpful I'd say...! Thanks for the video though;)
Wait, are you talking about Lief or Elite Hrv?
@@HRVHackers Sorry! Elite HRV. Love the app, but it crashes a lot on my side sadly
Bah that's too bad. Have you tried HRV4TRAINING?
Laying in bed all day will also increase your HRV but you wont catch me doing that
Laying in bed signals safety to the nervous system. It's a great hack 😄
@@HRVHackers 😂 Probably one of the best
@@HRVHackers not for people with sleep anxiety
elite hrv is overly optimistic
Ok
