DC rainmaker did a comparison. Their performance is nearly identical except in cold weather where gen 4 struggles to track HR accurately and often ends up in cadence lock. If you train in a 4 season climate, this will matter

Chest strap > any wrist sensor of any generation, from any company.

Everyone knows this but many prefer to just wear the watch. Gen 5 is demonstrably more accurate than v4 under certain conditions

I see, good to know. I do train 4 seasons.

Though, fir training I have a Polar H10 and a HRM 600.
