Q: Questiondoes this keep a log of your HR data or does it show current rate only?My doctor recommended that I get a heart rate monitor that tracks and logs my HR data so that I can see what helps and doesn't help my POTS. I need one that I can view past data and see trends and not just my current HR. Does the Polar H7 allow for that? Does it depend on which app you have?

Asked 10 years ago by plebert.

• A:Answer The H7 heart rate sensor does not record any data. That is dependent on the app (or watch) it is paired to. Polar's 'Beat' application for example records the heart rate data and allows for analysis after the exercise recording session. - Mike @ Polar USA

Q: QuestionWill the new version of the polar heart sensor work with my 15 year old polar wrist worn heart monitor?

Asked 8 years ago by stevieboy.

• A:Answer No. The H7 communicates via Bluetooth Smart, so the old wrist watches won't read the signal. The upside is that the H7 has a user-serviceable battery, and there are a bunch of smart phone apps and exercise machines that will read and display the signal.
