Hello,
Newbie here, just got a Model D rower. I have an Android Samsung Galaxy 10+ phone. Bought a Polar Heart rate H7 belt monitor. Info I read said there's an ANT+ app that will find/synch/run this. ANT+ has not been updated for this phone. I'd like to see my heartrate on the Concept2 ErgData App while working out. What's the suggestion? Thanks!

Re: PM5 / Polar H7
Are you able to pair the ANT+ HR with the PM5? Your HR should appear on Ergdata by magic if you do that.

H7 is BlueTooth (BTLE) single-channel only, no ANT+. (well, it also has Polar 5kHz GymLink, but hardly anything but old gym treadmills and ellipticals use that...) The Polar H9 and H10 straps have BTLE and ANT+.
You'll have to to choose what device you connect the H7 to, PM5 or smartphone.
My suggestion: use a USB-OTG cable to connect the PM5 to your phone (sitting in a cradle), and connect the H7 to the PM5.
Re: PM5 / Polar H7
Or depending on how long about you purchased the H7, return it and get the H10. It's a worthwhile upgrade for features and future-proofing.
