      I’ve got a polar h10 myself, I know their app still connects to Fit not health connect, but I’m sure they will update.

      I actually made an app to make use of health connect with my polar h10 for entirely different purposes, it’s really a pretty minor backend change for them to make, so I’m sure Beat will get an update.

          Got it, checking their list of compatible apps…

          Worst case you could connect to Strava as a go-between should polar be far behind on health connect (again, doubt they would be).

          But checking the coospo compatibility, it seems there are a ton of them that all support health connect with coospo, so you wouldn’t be shut out even if health connect wasn’t ready for Polar, you’ll have a ton of options. Including using polar to sync to something that syncs via health connect.

          Which is kind of what I do btw, aside from the app for the completely irregular use case I mentioned, I sync polar to Strava, Strava to Fit via health connect. I do that because fairly often I am using polar while cycling, so that’s how I want my data to go. But I then found strength training shares nicely too, and running polar beat and my workout app, I can track all my workout routine items (jefit), which syncs via health connect, and then polar goes to Strava goes to health connect, and it all shows as a single session with great HR data.

          So yeah, you’ll be fine.
