It’s not only ugly to look at, but it doesn’t even attempt to make clear how you use the Verity Sense. It’s so poorly designed, counterintuitive, and difficult to understand that we often find ourselves becoming frustrated with it. One of the biggest letdowns when using the Verity Sense day-to-day is the device’s companion app, Polar Flow.

The strap is able to link up to cycling computers, treadmills and turbo trainers through dual Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity. During our intermittent use - wearing it for around four different workouts - we’ve not had to charge it once, but we’ll let you know if it fails to match up to the 20-hour claim once we’ve had more time with it. When it comes to battery life, the Verity Sense claims it can run for approximately 20 hours on a single charge, which is almost double that seen in its predecessor. It’s also been given a boost in the Bluetooth department thanks to a new omnidirectional antenna, widening its range by 100% to cover 150 meters. It doesn’t sound like much, but it actually equates to about 600 hours of training data. On the inside, the Verity Sense touts 12MB bigger memory compared to its older sibling, the Polar OH1, with a total of 16 MB in total. Grr.Īlthough we’ve not been able to test the Verity Sense in the pools just yet (thanks, lockdown), we’re told it could track heart rate, distance, and pace underwater up to 50 metres.
The button’s so tiny it doesn’t always register a press, and if you’re doing this while wearing the band, you’ll probably find it trickier as the sensor won’t resist the urge to flip back over and face your skin. When you turn it on, you have three modes to choose from: broadcast (your workout to an external device), record (your activity to the device’s memory) or swim. Nevertheless, we used ours for live-streamed yoga and HIIT classes on Zoom, and it worked a treat.įiring up the Verity Sense is pretty straightforward, albeit a little finicky. The Verity Sense is super versatile in that it can be slipped around a limb to more accurately measure your heart rate and track a host of workouts - from your bog standard running and cycling to more exotic activities, like rollerblading or sailing. Polar Verity Sense review: Features and workout performance Although it will leave a mark on your arm after use. Still, it’s comfortable to wear thanks to an easily adjustable, stretchy band that opens via a velcro attachment. In terms of function, the pop-out sensor has a small button on each side, which can be a bit tricky to press right on the first try. They’re made from a cheap-feeling plastic akin to the toys you used to find in cereal boxes. We can imagine they’d be pretty easy to lose.or break. However, this - and all the other little attachments it comes with - are pretty fiddly to handle. To charge the Verity Sense, you simply pop it into a separate USB adapter. The stretchy melange charcoal strap will suit just about any outfit (a bonus if you’re picky about your wearable matching your gym kit), and - as mentioned above - the materials used don’t scream premium, so we doubt you’ll be using it to fool people that you’ve bought some super-fancy Apple Watch alternative. Aesthetically, the Verity Sense is minimal.
