Making the most out of Polar H10’s internal memory

One of the most notable features is Polar H10’s internal memory that you can use to store a training session. This comes in handy when you don’t want to wear a sports watch or can’t take your phone with you, for example for swimming, volleyball and basketball.

As of now, you can record a session with Polar H10 by starting the recording on Polar Beat – our free fitness and training app available for Android and iOS.

Watch the video to see what this means in practice.

Quick tips for recording a training session with Polar H10 and Polar Beat

  • As of now, you can only start the recording with Polar Beat.
  • Once you start the recording, keep wearing Polar H10 until the end of the session. If you take it off, Polar H10 will sense that you have ended your session.
  • Stop recording with Polar Beat or by taking the sensor off the chest strap.
  • Download the training session via Polar Beat.
