I'm so lucky i found this video today :D because i was 5 seconds away from pushing order button for OH+... Thx for good review! excellent work as always!
Man, this is almost worth buying for the improved battery alone. I quite like my OH1, but between how much I use it and a little bit of battery degradation, I have to charge it every two or three workouts now. It's always yelling "Charge me," and battery anxiety is real. This looks like a really solid set of improvements; Polar is impressing me lately.
Just got the Verity Sense. I am dealing with a 18 yr old arortic heart valve replacement that I want to keep tabs on while I'm on the Pickleball court. I get elevated HR at times and need to make sure my HR does not stay high for too long before coming back to normal. Was using a Fitbit style but I'm not confident on the acuracy of it.
Thanks for the early review. Only thing that would have benefitted me in waiting is the longer battery life and the velco strap(it’s really annoying trying to clear the watch). Got my OH1+ for about 60 on Amazon so I think that was a reasonable savings for slightly lower feature set
Thanks for the review. Now can you test the Verity Sense on your wrist to see that is not the watch heart rate sensor on the wrist that is worst but the wrist it self because there is not enough muscle thickness in the wrist instead of à biceps 😊
The Fenix missed a high intensity interval in the comparison, and seems generally slow to respond... I'm glad I have the OH1+ but I've only had it since Xmas and already superseded!!!
I didn’t use OH1 before, only H7. This one is finally “dead” now so I was going to buy H10 before I heard about Verity Sense. Now I decided to buy Verity Sense because very often I got problems with my H7 because of wearing sports bra. Hope Verity Sense is going to be much more comfortable and accurate 🙂
Great review, but you missed that the Verity Sense now has dual BT connectivity. Though that is only relevant to poor Apple ecosystem folk who can't do ANT+
Funny, I had that in my notes but I forgot to mention it in the video. It's a nice feature if you want to pair the device with a treadmill + phone simultaneously. Thanks for watching.
Cool thanks for the reply . Would love you to have your thoughts on MAF training or Zone 2 training. I don't mind the chest strap but also use my OH1+ depending on how I feel. Keep bring the great stuff you do. Your UK follower
I haven't specifically stuck to a MAF training schedule but I have trained by HR previously in a similar fashion. I think there's definitely benefits that can be had. Lately though, I've been using running power as a means of training and I feel like it's a bit easier to understand when you're performance is improving. That said, I'm not a coach and I'm definitely not a pro athlete so take my opinion for what it's worth! Thanks for watching Ripton!
As always, quality review. I had one question though. If I use it while running outdoors, will it show me the distance covered? I won't mind not showing the map as no GPS capability. Thanks in advance.
Thanks! Unfortunately no, no distance, no cadence, no steps, etc... just Heart Rate. Unless you bring along your phone and run it through Polar Beat then you'll get all of the data including GPS from your phone.
Thank you for that video! One question: if you go for a run with the Verity Sense and your smart phone, could you use your phone to check your heart rate live?
Hey Dave, great review! Do you know if by using the Verity sense with a Garmin watch (955) I'd be able to run the lactate treshold test? Or if it would help update LT based on regular training? Thanks :)
Great review, thanks! I always use the oh1+ because of my back is V shape and the chest strap is just sliding down to my stomach. I hate the chest strap :-)
Hello! Polar Verity Sense seems really good, I have a OH1 and H10 since before. Now to another question regarding recovery on polar. When a do a interval training session. lets say 4x4, it is really demanding. Much more demanding than for example a slow 8-10 km distance run att easy pace. Although I get about the same TRIMP-score bya polar, 3 of 5 red dots. Althoug they verdict the sessions quite diffrently, the interval session is, they say, tempo and max training thats increase vo2max, and the distance run is, they say, good for my aerobic fitness and stamina (something like that). But as I mentioned, I get the same cardio load score and no diffrent suggestion for my recovery. Are there a watch or application right now that does a distinction between hard short and long easy sessions for recovery advise. The same goes for strength training, I can go really hard and be sore for 2 days after a workout, but polar says it was a recovery session and nothing more. Any tips on this difficult topic. My goal is to train as effectively as I can and that includes good recovery and god advice. I would love to see a youtube film on this topic by you where you go really deep into this topic.
That's interesting. I would have assumed the recovery time would differ. What device are you tracking on? Are you using it in conjunction with a watch or just on the H10/Oh1+?
The newer polar does not have recovery time just cardio load. The thing is that 4x4 hiit session does not end up in higher in cardio load than 60 min distance run. The data is based on TRIMP. My questiin is if garmin does this better, they base their calculations on First beat?
Great video as always. Is it safe to assume this new optical heart rate sensor can connect to a Garmin watch and/or a treadmill like the Nordictrack? Thanks.
Yup! And with the new Verity Sense it can actually connect to two bluetooth devices simultaneously along with ANT+ devices. So you can be broadcasting your HR to your treadmill, watch, and phone at the same time if desired.
I was wondering if they'd start selling the band separately. Unfortunately it seems like the OH1+ won't get the benefit of the antenna design in the band but the band is still compatible. Thanks for watching!
Hello Dave, great video…can I connect with my Garmin Fenix 6X pro and can I see after that my VOmax 2?…and can I see all details of my running-pulse, meters and….?
If you pair it with a Fenix you'll get heart rate data from the Polar Verity Sense. All of your metrics will be based on the Polar's sensor and not the Garmin's optical sensor. Works great!
Hi Chase ... Nice video.. Two things I forgot to mention to you regarding the Polar OH1 ..few times I did turn on the device and I went for a walk outside , then when I came back , I try to sync the device , but the data was not transmitted ... It happen few times ...Not a pleasant experience . And the second thing... once you see the data online after you did your workout ...What do you really get from it ?? You run too fast or too slow ?? Anything else ??
The OH1 is simply an Heart Rate sensor so the data you get from it is just heart rate. If you want distance, cadence, altitude, etc... You'll need to pair the sensor to a phone or watch. What you do with Heart Rate data depends on your goal. For some it's a form of training to see how the HR reacts over time. Hope that helps.
Hi, great review. Im using the oh1 for years now, i love it and im thinking about updating. i hope u can help me with a question: im using it with a fenix 5 (waiting for the 7 to be released…) and im asking myself if there r any dis/advantages connecting via ant+ or blutooth? any thoughts bout that? thanks from austria 😊
I have been thinking about getting a heart rate monitor since the Fenix 5 one does not seem to be accurate. This looks like a great alternative to a chest strap (which so many people tell me is uncomfortable). Did you find it slid when you started sweating?
I use the OH1 daily and it performs really well. Don’t see much point in upgrading other than the nicer strap. Which I’m assuming I could use with the OH1 actually?
Great revue as always! Thinking about buying one to supplement my Coros Apex 42. Can I use them without installing any Polar app? Does this make sense? I don't want to use so many apps, but will I miss a lot if i only use it to feed data to the Coros app? Thanks!
Sure! You can simply broadcast over bluetooth or ANT+ to your coros apex. You'd only need the Polar Flow app if you wanted to use the internal storage of the Verity Sense. Thanks for watching!
Do you think it would be possible to make an arm band that would allow you to wear one of the Polar or Garmin watches further up on your arm and therefore get the more accurate heart rate from the built in optical sensors just like on the OH+/Verity Sense?
I've wondered that myself. With Garmin's quick fit system it's kind of surprising no one has tried it yet. That said, I think the OH1 / Verity Sense have brighter LED's on the sensor... They're like blinding if you look directly at them. I'm sure this plays a role in why they're so accurate too. Thanks for watching!
I am familiar with it but I haven't gotten the chance to test it extensively. It seems like a great option and gets high praise in reviews. The Wahoo Tickr Fit is another option in this form factor. Thanks for watching!
Where do you usually wear the strap? Do you think it would make a difference, if it is worn on the outer side of the bicep or like on the big bicep vein? Thanks!
I typically wear mine on the inside of my upper forearm in a similar place that someone would get an IV at a hospital. I guess my logic is that's where my veins are most visible? Honestly, the OH1+ and Verity Sense are pretty accurate just about anywhere on your arm. I think the more "meat" the better. Hope that helps!
I have the OH1+ but haven't really been using it. Largely due to perhaps me not understanding something. What I want is to have the OH1+ used as a HRM only when I'm in an activity and not all the time. I have the FR245 and haven't figured out how to accomplish this. Is it possible, or am I missing something super obvious. I want to start an activity on my watch and select the OH1 and when the activity is done, disconnect from the OH1 without going through the watch's settings every time.
Hey Brice! I think the way Garmin works any time you have an external HR sensor paired it will use that instead of the OHR. So I think the only way to achieve this is to pair your OH1+ to the watch but only turn it on when you're about to start an activity and then turn it off when you're done. Once the OH1+ is powered off the watch will default back to the wrist based sensor. I'm not sure if there's a way to make that automatically happen. Thanks for watching!
The chest strap will always be the most accurate. The advantage of the OH1+ and VS is that they can be worn on your arm. If you don't mind a chest strap the HRM Pro is a fantastic option.
It has a battery life of 30 hours but it’s not really designed for all day/every day wear as you suggest. I would recommend something like the Polar Ignite 2 for that purpose.
Can this be worn all day and get an accurate daily calorie burn by the heart rate registered for the day? Kind of like a fitness tracker but using heart rate for overall calories?
It's not really designed for that but you could probably do it in a pinch. The data isn't sync'd to Polar Flow as "wellness" tracking data but rather as an activity. So you'd have a series of daily activities that are several hours long and you'd need to manually crunch the numbers. Does that make sense?
@@ChaseTheSummit I bought the verity sense. Im using the polar beat app to track heart rate and take the calories given from that. If im cycling i use the cycling part of the app to track that exercise calories. Then count them all up at the end of the day and add them to my BMR. You think that works accurately?
Hi Dave! Great Video!!! I got the older Model. The plastic on it would scratch easily (accurate reading possibly impacted if too much scratched). Did they change the material for the lens, or is it still the same plastic? ❤️❤️❤️
It's still plastic but I haven't scratched my OH1+ in the past year of using it. I suppose it could happen if I tossed it in my bag with my keys or something. What model were you using? Thanks for watching!
I suppose the only reason to upgrade would be if you need more battery, storage, antenna range, or just don't like how the interface works on the OH1+. Otherwise they're basically the same sensor in terms of accuracy. Thanks for watching!
Hopefully I won't need a band soon, just bought the OH1+ a month ago... Hopefully they will be available when (if needed) I need to buy a replacement. The advantage is that I live in a warm country to I do not face the issue that most of the people face when wearing the band under winter clothing (twisting of the band). Tha k you for the reply and for your reviews :)
If it was paired to a watch that utilized external sensors for sleep... yes. But you'd probably have to charge it every other day or every day depending how long you were sleeping. The Verity Sense doesn't have any sort of built in sleep tracking.
Do not just throw the band in the wash unless you want the velcro to destroy your workout clothes. Take it in the shower with you and give it a wash there.
The batteries on the chest straps tend to last a REALLY long time which is why I think they haven't moved away from the coin cell. But yeah, rechargeable is always nice! Thanks for watching!
