A heart rate strap has one job, and the H10 is the one most other straps get compared with. The price asks whether that matters to you.
What the listing publishes
Bluetooth, ANT+ and 5 kHz, with Bluetooth and ANT+ usable at the same time. A stated 400 hour battery, a 60 g weight and strap sizes from M to XXL. Polar calls it the most accurate heart rate sensor in its own history, which is a claim about its own range and not a measured comparison with others.
Why a strap, not a watch
A chest strap reads electrical signals from the heart, close to the source. Wrist sensors read blood flow and can lag behind sudden efforts. Polar does not need to explain this on the listing, and it is why riders who do intervals still wear a strap.
What to check before you buy
Compare it honestly with the COOSPO H6 on this shelf, which also has Bluetooth and ANT+ at less than a third of the price. The H10 wins on battery and on the 5 kHz link for older gym machines. If you do not need those, the cheaper strap may be enough.

The questions riders ask
Can it talk to a bike computer and an app at once?
The listing says Bluetooth and ANT+ can run at the same time. So a computer on ANT+ and a phone on Bluetooth is a normal setup.
Which size do I need?
Amazon lists M to XXL under one product. Measure your chest and choose the variant in the size selector before buying.
