Sieghard, I was in your dilemma about 4 weeks ago and found pretty good luck with the following setup. Polar H7 using the Runkeeper app. The Runkeeper app has some Voiceover issues when I first entered my height/weight etc., but I didn’t enter my info during the initial setup and modified it after setting up the app. Other than that, the app runs pretty good. If you want current pulse and aerobic info there is a GPS button on the screen that you click into to get the self-voicing info.
Both my wife and I are using this setup with success. Another tip is to ensure rinsing the Polar monitor contacts both on the strap and unit to ensure a good contact. Keep the contacts moist or it will not transmit to Runkeeper. You may have to play around a little to get the right moisture levels. I just take the strap, run it under the sink for a second and good to go. Yes, it’s a little cold when you put the strap on. LOL Hope this helps and contact me with any further questions.

I am considering the Polar H7 or Wahoo Tickr or Wahoo Tickr Run. Both have their own apps but also work with over 50 third-party apps including Runkeeper and Runtastic. In addition to hardware feedback on the actual HRM I am interested to hear about accessibility of the various apps people use. Also, I am interested in the same information regarding wireless blood pressure monitors and body scales.
