It confirms my impression of the OHR. Too low at start going too high at the end. I'm supposing it uses the OHR for the training load and VO2 estimates. The high tail end makes it think my anaerobic load is well up!
Badger Dec 2020 10:11am, 5 Dec 2020 13,110 posts	Badger The wahoo looks quite big compared to the polar. Yes, in absolute terms it isn't that big but the polar is really impressively tiny! I've heard of people having problems with it flipping over too easily under long sleeves (but any of the arm units you have to be careful with long sleeves - ideally either loose enough they won't move it, or compression-tight so they'll pretty much hold the HRM even if the strap is loosened by the sleeve).

SPR Dec 2020 5:41pm, 5 Dec 2020 32,397 posts	SPR Inner bicep for the win here. That run was 10 miles at 1233 HR beats per mile. The other runs (two 6 and two 3 miles) were mid to high 1300s! I can see why it works on the inner bicep for me, with my arm bent, it slots into the soft bit under my bicep muscle and I don't see any sensor light escaping. On the outside, bend my arm actually pushes the sensor away a bit and I can see the sensor light. Outer forearm would have the same issue.
SPR Dec 2020 5:42pm, 5 Dec 2020 32,398 posts	SPR The pic was taken with the sensor switched on so you can see that no light is escaping.
