On the device itself, the LED lights on the back of the sensor will blink red slowly when there’s roughly 15% of battery life left and blink quicker when you have roughly 8% of battery left. That’s up from the 12 hours promised on Polar’s OH1+ armband monitor. Polar doesn’t specify the capacity of the battery packed into the Verity Sense but does say it should be good to track 20 hours worth of training. Connectivity and syncing-wise, we had a few teething problems syncing data to an Android phone and it was definitely more issue-free using it with an iPhone. Though it’s nice to see that the Sense is compatible.

In general, we found that the Sense’s data was generally 4-5bpm out on average readings and within 2bpm for maximum heart rate readings. ![]() ![]() Current lockdown restrictions have meant we weren’t able to get in the pool with it to test its reliability in the water however.įor steady runs, we ran with it alongside a heart rate monitor chest strap, switching between comparing it to a Garmin HRM Pro chest strap and the Wahoo Tickr X.

You still have a single physical button to turn the device on and off, but now there’s a series of small icons that let you use that button to quickly change between the three different modes. It’s worth mentioning here that the Sense is not replacing the OH1, which remains on sale. In fact, close-up from the front, it’s tough to distinguish between them and their large coin-sized stature.
