Been using a Polar H10 for a few years now and since owning the Fenix 6 (c18 months) have always allowed it to connect by default. Having been monitoring battery consumption recently I noticed the H10 is connected via Bluetooth, not ANT+. I’ve attempted to remove the sensor and re pair, but am never presented with an ANT+ option? Having searched the forum I’ve not come across anything where this is explicitly detailed?
I’ve also reset the H10 in the hope that would allow me the option but having checked in polar flow the only sensor option there is to open up dual Bluetooth channels (which I’ve done as I also pair with Apple TV when Zwifting). Don’t get me wrong, it works fine with Bluetooth when connect to the Fenix, however on a 3 hour run yesterday (H10 connected, glonass + gps, 1 sec recoding, optical hrm off, phone connection off) the battery dropped by 12%. This seems a little high based on the 36hr claims and I’m trying to gauge settings for a planned ultra so wondering if having the H10 connected via Bluetooth is the root cause and I’d see better battery performance from ANT+?
