Compatible with M430 or M600 ?!? #82

I'm thinking of buying M430 or M600 ... Can i use bipolar with one of them?

Is it possible that bipolar generally works when Polar FlowSync synchronizes with the clock?

I ask because the README contains this:

Currently, the following applications and devices are supported: Polar FlowSync, on both Mac and Windows. Polar V800 Polar Loop

Hi @jedie, sorry I don't know. It should generally work with any device the uses Polar FlowSync, but I've not been able to test either the M430 or M600. Maybe someone else will respond with their experience?

BTW, to work, FlowSync needs to sync more than just the clock - it has to sync the device's activity sessions with the flow.polar.com website.

If you do get either device, and have any trouble. feel free to submit some captured data, and I can take a look.

Cheers.

Hi @jedie and @pcolby!

M600 doesn't work, because it doesn't use FlowSync. The M600 only syncs to your Smartphone (with Android Wear App). When connecting the M600 to a PC/Laptop the battery gets charged, that's it.

But M430 works! You will even get RR data, as long as you're using an H7 or H10 sensor. The integrated optical sensor doesn't support RR data.

Thanks @remifreiwald for the answer :) Closing this issue now. Feel free to re-open if you have more questions. Thanks.
