Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers praise the Verity Sense for its substantial upgrades over the OH1 Plus, especially the longer battery life, expanded storage, improved water resistance, and dual‑Bluetooth capability. However, they note the inherent limitation of optical PPG technology, which introduces a slight delay during rapid heart‑rate changes and reduces HRV accuracy compared to ECG chest straps.
What Users Say
Everyday users highlight the device's comfort, versatile wearing options, long battery life, and swimming features as major strengths. The most common complaints revolve around a minor lag in heart‑rate detection during quick intensity shifts and the sensor's lower precision for HRV or medical‑grade monitoring.
Common Complaints
Slight lag in heart‑rate detection during rapid changes, reduced HRV accuracy compared to ECG devices, and occasional connectivity range reduction without the holder.
