The polar OH1+ comes with a "goggle clip". Meaning, if you're a triathlete, you can clip the HR monitor to your goggles while you swim and it will record your temporal pulse for accurate HR data. That in itself is a nice feature, but what polar doesn't mention, and perhaps more importantly, is that you can use the clip anywhere there is reliable pulsation and a flat area of skin. Enter the "waist clip". I started to clip the monitor into my running shorts and cycling bibs and found that it will accurately record HR data from the femoral pulsation. Perhaps even better data than the arm (More stable, less light penetration, stronger pulsation etc). This means no arm band, no chest strap, just a small clip into my shorts which is secure and hidden. This takes comfort and accuracy to another level. For this reason alone, this is the only optical HR monitor to consider.

Over the years i have had nothing but frustration with chest strap heart rate monitors, primarily related to the difficulty replacing the battery. Also a hassle / inconvenient getting chest strap on.
So after reading many reviews & getting recommendations from friends, i bought this monitor. For three months, i couldn’t have been happier! Easy to get on / off arm before and after workouts (primarily Zwift rides on my Wahoo KICKR). Fit well even if i was wearing tightfitting long sleeve shirt. Paired easily via Bluetooth with Zwift app. HR data seemed accurate. Knowing that i could track my HR hassle free with this monitor even increased my enthusiasm for my Zwift workouts... And it was great having a rechargeable battery (see below re: THE AGONY of replacing batteries in Polar chest monitors).
Then couple weeks ago, the device suddenly stopped working. At first i thought i had not charged it enough between rides. But after charging again overnight, no difference - green light on indicating battery fully charged - but would not turn on. And then NO RESPONSE from Polar despite contacting their Support online and via email multiple times and providing serial # for hy OH1+. Hence I am giving up now and writing this 1 star review… I really thought i had finally found the perfect heart rate monitor after all these years but I guess now it is back to the drawing board…
P.S. re: chest montiors - i previously had three Polar chest heart rate monitors that worked to varying degrees for varying times. All eventually became unusable because repeated attempts to try to open the back with a coin ground down the plastic so eventually had no way to open to replace the battery.… All still functioning - if i could get a new battery in - but useless once could not put in a replacement battery.
This far surpasses the chest rate monitors in comfort, while it seems to be just as accurate. That was a pleasant surprise to me because the last armband monitor I had a few years ago (made by another company) was not more reliable than a wrist-based monitor on a watch.
I am using this with the Polar app because all I care about tracking are my minutes at different HR zones. I don't like wearing a 24-hour watch like a Garmin because I find it distracting. This does everything I need it to do, and when I look at the app, I can see the data that matters to me.
