Here is what I think is the problem and how to fix it (Okay, it worked for me, so I hope it works for you).

Problem - In IOS 9iHealth app senses the polar device as a health device and allocates it. The Polar app can't access it because the iHealth app is using it.

Solution - Open iHealth, select Sources at the bottpm of the screen, turn off the Update Health Data switch. Retry Polar app.

I hope this work for everyone. I would love to hear your feedback.
[doublepost=1452288286][/doublepost]Hi AveraqeTechie and others,

I try to connect my H7 as well. I have the iOS 9.2 on iPhone 5S. And I have done what you have recommended but I cannot connect the H7 to Polar Beat app neither to any other - Endomondo, Runtastic... nothing.
It works with my watch.
What can be wrong? :-(

Thanks, Andy

[doublepost=1456656033][/doublepost]Wow, at last, after days of trying almost everything, I find this post and it works for me. I'm so pleased I can continue recording my workouts. It was getting so frustrating. Thanks a million. :)

Do we have any happy Apple Watch and Polar Beat users here?


I just purchased an Apple Watch and Polar Beat in hope to use it with my H7 sensor (coming from Polar M400).

Only partial luck so far: it works while iPhone and Apple Watch are connected via Bluetooth (= if I have my iPhone on me). But if my iPhone/Apple Watch are connected via WiFi (phone in locker), pressing "Start" doesn't do anything :/
