HRM For Erg PM5

[COMike]

When the H7 is paired to the iPhone 5, it cannot pair to ythe PM5 and vice versa.

That's a Bluetooth limitation. A client (iPhone 5, PM5) can connect to multiple servers (H7) but a server can only connect to a single client.

Thanks for the information! I had a feeling this was the case but not an issue for me with regards to the rowing. It would have been cool to have the phone going as well to track things a bit differently. RowPro does this just fine for me.

Any one uses this HRM - that is reportedly very accurate compared to chest bands?

Apparently, the 'PerformTek biometrics' used in this HRM is a much more accurate measuring system than chest strap sensors.

They fit onto the fore arm instead.

Hey guys, anyone still looking for a decent HRM for PM5, i got one of these of ebay for £28 and it works just fine, also connects to android and iphone no problems.

I use the H7 with my Skierg and PM5, no issues. It also links with my Polar V800 at the same time using Gymlink

I am also looking for a HRM for the PM5. I am seriously considering the Mio Link. It is a wrist monitor. There are reviews that are critical about its accuracy but then there are reviews that contend it is as accurate as a chest style. Anyone have any experience with this monitor?

I have a Mio Link and use it with my PM5, and it works perfectly. Don't even notice that I have it on me.

i use a polar H7 chest strap heart rate sensor that supports bluetooth LE and gymlink. i have a model d rower w/ pm3 w/the polar heart rate receiver kit connected that connects via the gymlink signal. i use a polar m400 gps watch for activity tracking that also captures the heart rate sensor transmission via bluetooth LE. i got the new skierg w/ pm5, which doesn't support the polar heart rate receiver and since bluetooth le was already being used to connect to my polar m400, i needed a solution to connect HR to the skierg w/ pm5.

i got the MIO LINK wrist based Heart Rate sensor and as a result i got to compare the heart rate of the two devices, as i wear the chest strap H7 & the wrist strap MIO LINK when working out. and for the most part they are very close to the same.

My Concepts2 arrived last week with PM5 - I can confirm the Wahoo Tickr works no problem on ANT or bluetooth.
