The Polar Verity Sense is a versatile and high-quality optical pulse sensor that measures the pulse on the arm or temple.

The Polar Verity Sense is a practical alternative to heart rate sensors with chest strap and wearables on the wrist. It can be used with the included wristband or the mounting clip for swimming goggles or placed close to the skin.

The Polar Verity Sense ensures maximum freedom of movement and works in numerous sports.

The Polar Verity Sense even captures the pulse, distance and pace when swimming in the pool. The training data can be stored in the internal memory and then transferred to a smartphone. Or the sensor is connected to a compatible device to display the pulse in real time during the training session.

Why is heart rate based training so effective?

Having real-time pulse data during training means instantly detecting the body's reaction. This makes it possible to train smarter instead of just training harder. In short, intelligent training leads to results based on three variables. Frequency: How often is trained in a certain period of time, such as a week. Duration: How long is trained, usually expressed in minutes. Intensity: It is a little more complicated to capture and brings the pulse into play. The pulse (or heart rate measured with a chest strap) is one of the best indicators of how hard the body works during training. Instead of estimating the intensity of training – so easy to guess – the pulse should be used as a reliable value, which is also as traceable as the frequency and duration.

Key Features

ANT+ and Bluetooth

Connects to ANT+ and Bluetooth cycling equipment, sports watches, fitness equipment and apps. It can simultaneously connect to two Bluetooth devices and thanks to ANT+ transmission, the pulse data can be transmitted to any number of ANT+ devices.

Suitable for use in the swimming pool

Automatically detects pulse, distance and pace when swimming in the swimming pool. Water resistant (50m) Removable, machine washable textile strap and goggle clip as well as a handy storage bag.

Convenient and easy to use

Applying the Polar Verity Sense is very quick and easy. Turn it on and slide it over your arm or insert it into the holder of the goggles - and you're ready to go. The one-button operation ensures the highest user-friendliness of the Polar Verity Sense.

Versatility

The Polar Verity Sense is suitable for countless sports such as group training, strength and functional training, indoor cycling, swimming in the swimming pool, cycling, running, jogging, walking and team sports. There are virtually no limits. The pulse can either be tracked in real time on a connected device or the training session is recorded and the data is then transferred to a smartphone.
