Owner's manual

Android products (Android 4.3 or later) HTC One M8 HTC One Mini HTC One LG G2 LG Nexus 4 LG Nexus 5 Motorola Moto G Motorola Moto X Samsung Galaxy Note II Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Samsung Galaxy S3 Samsung Galaxy S4 Samsung Galaxy S5 Sony Xperia Z1 Sony Xperia Z1 Compact

Q: I need to know if this is the correct size, I need M-XXL Also is this transmitter for FT 7 ?

A: This is indeed the M-XXL size. As for it working with the FT7, yes it will work with that. It will also sync with a fitness app on your smartphone that has a heart rate feature - Mike@PolarUSA

Q: Hi These polar? It's compatible with iphone o apple watch?

A: No, this is not compatible with the Apple Watch. This will work with iPhones.

Q: does this keep a log of your HR data or does it show current rate only?

A: 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: I don't have a smartphone or an android phone. Is there a heart rate monitor that is compatible with the H-7 that doesn't rely on these types of devices.

A: The H7 does indeed offer the flexibility to be used with other devices! For example, it will work with Polar wrist units (new & old) as well as many exercise machines found at your local health club. - Mike@PolarUSA

Q: Is this a "low energy" heart rate sensor?

A: The H7 is indeed a 'low energy' Bluetooth device. - Mike@PolarUSA

Q: Does it work with Apple Watch?

A: Yes, the H7 sensor will work with the Apple Watch. - Mike @ Polar USA

Q: Does it count calories through the app?

A: Many exercise apps (including Polar's 'Beat' application) provide an indication of calories burned when used in conjunction with the H7 Bluetooth Smart heart rate sensor - Mike @ Polar USA

Nice comfortable heart rate monitor
I purchased the H7 and it works like a charm every time. My iPhone app (Polar Beat) had no problems connecting to the HRM and giving an accurate BPM. The H7 HRM strap does not track mileage or calories but strictly monitors your heart rate and communicates this information to another Bluetooth device (such as your smartphone or watch) and that device passes the information to the app. In my case, my H7 connects to my iPhone and relays the HRM data to my Polar Beat app.

Does just what I hoped
I bought this to track my heart rate while working out at the gym and while running on jogging trails. So far it has performed just as I'd hoped. At the gym, it automatically pairs with the equipment, allowing me to set workout goals according to my desired heart rate. While in the weight training area, the accompanying free app (Polar Beat) monitors my heart rate. While on the trails, the app gives me verbal real-time updates and it includes maps and certain other diagnostic information about my run. My other fitness apps (Nike+ Running and Strava) are both able to read the heart rate data and include it in their summaries. I had zero problems pairing the monitor to my iPhone 6. BTW, in case anyone is concerned, the strap is very comfortable and the monitor is light-weight. So much so that, upon opening for the first time, I feared it wouldn't work. My only complaint isn't with the monitor but rather with the Polar Beat app. The voice is very robotic and kind of annoying.

Works well with multiple apps or machines
I bought this to keep track of workouts on a rowing machine. It pairs easily and works well with multiple IPhone apps. An added bonus is that I can walk away from my phone across the room and my heart rate still remains active on the phone app. It also works with my Polar H4 watch. Only negative is the Polar app crashes and doesn't work at all.
