Dual ANT+ and Bluetooth is what keeps a sensor usable across head units · review
A low-cost chest strap with Bluetooth 4.0 and ANT+, an IP67 rating, a stated accuracy of ±1 BPM and a 300 hour battery.
Our conclusion The sensible first strap: everything most riders need, at a small price.
Most riders need a strap that pairs with a computer and an app, and the H6 does exactly that for about $30.
Bluetooth and ANT+, an IP67 rating, a battery life of 300 hours and a 55 g weight. CooSpo states ±1 BPM accuracy and lists Strava, Wahoo Fitness and Polar Beat among compatible apps.
There is no test method behind this figure, so treat it as marketing until someone shows the setup. Any decent chest strap reads steady efforts closely. Where straps differ is in the first minutes of a ride, on a dry strap, in cold weather.
Wet the strap contacts before you start and wash the strap after sweaty rides. If you ride a few hours a week, the 300 hour figure means a battery change comes around rarely.
