Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the H7 for its ECG‑grade accuracy, long‑lasting battery, and lightweight belt design, noting its seamless Bluetooth and GymLink integration for a wide range of devices. However, they point out its legacy status, lack of ANT+ and inability to transmit data underwater, making it less future‑proof than newer Polar models.
What Users Say
Everyday users appreciate the H7’s reliable Bluetooth pairing, comfortable elastic strap, and long battery life, especially for running, gym, and swimming workouts. Recurring complaints focus on occasional pairing hiccups with non‑Polar phones, strap stretch over time, and the desire for a lighter, wrist‑based alternative.
Common Complaints
Intermittent Bluetooth pairing issues with non‑Polar devices, strap wear causing tighter fits for smaller chests, and lack of ANT+ and underwater Bluetooth transmission.
