Track Your Heart Rate with the Dash Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap & Health Sensor

Bob B: I previously had two Polar chest monitors. The first one lasted 4 years but had blue tooth connection issues. The second one lasted 2 days. I bought the Dash in May 2023 and have not changed the battery with daily use. The blue tooth connection is superb.

Proser: This monitor works well and is pretty accurate. I downloaded the Polar app they recommend and setting it up was effortless.

The only negative is the strap. While it adjusts pretty easily, it has a tendency to fold over on itself and can cause friction burn if you aren't careful. I'm trying to figure out a solution for it but maybe I'm just too overweight right now, I don't know.

I'd love to say if anything happened to this monitor I'd buy it again but the strap issue is a big hang up for me.

NarcAngel: Ok they are a few positive and a few negative with this one.

1. The positives: this thing works perfectly with Sports Tracker and Strava and it has its own app too which is Wahoo.
2. Setup is quite easy.
3. It's... fairly comfy.

1. The negatives: no ON or OFF switch, you must for a unsnap (which is not that easy and may lead to breaking the device sooner or later)
2. Now this one is very tricky. As I said above it works with a TON of app but... BUT... you must choose. Either you connect it to MULTIPLE sport apps at the same time or just one OR...OR you can ONLY connect it to Wahoo and no other apps. Here's why it's tricky, Wahoo will give you a ton of info about your belt which your sport app won't but, Wahoo will NOT give you audio feedbacks, Sports Tracker can give me a HR feedback by minute or distance (I set mine to warn me about my HR every 2 minutes).
3. Once it decides to work anymore, just reboot the phone. But I sure wish it had a ON/OFF button.

So for the moment I cannot give you a FINAL review since I just got the device but I run well over 3,000km per year so you can be sure I have time for plenty of feedback I just strongly doubt this...

Samuel Albert: I cannot speak to the accuracy at all, but I purchased this to have my heart rate on my Stream while I play video games and it works great. Easy to use, setup, and works with a large variety of apps with no fuss. (I’m on iOS)

MidnightRunner: Love this heart rate monitor, it is so comfortable I have forgotten to take it off after running when I got side tracked. It seems accurate, should be better than the optical types and works perfectly with Polar Beat. It also connects quickly to my phone via Bluetooth, while I am listening to my BT earbuds. It seems like it will hold up and nothing gives me any concern with it after months of use (3-5 times per week). I use a dab of electrode jell on the pads and rinse the whole thing in the shower and it has stayed pretty much like new. Considering the price, I would not hesitate to buy this again if I lost it. I have a Polar Unite as well, which gets less use every day. I love the Polar Flow ap though, which I believe only works with Polar devices (since I have a Unite, I was able to use it). Even though I could take or leave the Unite, the upside is that now the Dash data from Beat is also imported into flow. Without a the Unite however I was only able to see the Dash data through Polar Beat, which was sufficient, just not as cool.

I recall trying this with a couple other aps and it worked fine, I just preferred to use it with Polar Beat.

Wee, Morsel and Bumble BeeWee, Morsel and Bumble Bee: I don't get why, but you can sync / use this strap with a TON of different apps. I've got it to sync up with Wahoo, Strava, Endomondo, IpBike and Polar Beat. I use Polar Beat because it syncs to Google Fit directly. I can't wrap my head around the fact that this thing is so inexpensive and I get to use these apps.

APP COMPATIBILITY: As mentioned above, it can sync with a ton of stuff. I like the Google Fit interface and so just sticking with that for now. I use Polar Beat to get it over. I think Wahoo has some better analytics tho. I would like an app that would just let it constantly measure my HR w/o having to tell it to do some 'activity'. Right now I use "Other Indoor" and let it run 24/7 because I'm curious to know my HR patterns.

STRAP: The strap looks pretty durable. After being unsatisfied with more expensive Polar models, usually with complaints & pictures showing how the strap breaks, this "Dash" strap looks pretty sturdy with a plastic hook clip thingie. I've attached a picture so you can see it better.

HRM: It snaps on very strongly. I don't think it'll wear over time. I haven't verified it's accuracy vs manual measurement, but I have pitted it...

Thruppence: It was '93 when technology started getting ahead of what I could comprehend. And the gap has continued to widen. So it was no real surprise that I could not get my Dash heart-monitor to connect to my iPhone. On their Amazon page Dash said they would help, so I called them. A nice man named Josh answered and walked me through making the connection. Technology can be difficult for me, even with help. And Josh was patient and polite through the process, allowing me all the time I needed to absorb his direction (he even helped me download the Wahoo fitness app--I used it because Dash had written somewhere that it is pretty simple to use). The Dash heart-monitor is very accurate (I have compared its readings with two high-end blood pressure readers that include heart rate). I ride a bike (1,400 miles since late April), and the monitor has let me see just how effective are my two different ride routines. Basically, ten miles over rolling terrain, or high-intensity interval exercises (forty versus twenty minutes). Turns out that in both types my heart-rate exceeds the high-performance zone for my age, at over 150 bpm. That's enough said... it's a good monitor that is supported by good...
