Compatible Heart Rate Monitors

OnBeat lets your athletes use their pre-owned heart rate monitors.

Compatible Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitors

All major brands are compatible with OnBeat, including Polar, Wahoo, Scosche, Whoop, and MyZone MZ-3.

Unfortunately, the Apple Watch and Fitbit are not currently compatible. Read more here.

ANT+ Monitors

ANT+ is also compatible with OnBeat; however, you must purchase a Wi-Fi bridge from us because the iPad and iPhone do not have ANT+ hardware built in. Follow this link to purchase a Wi-Fi bridge. The Wi-Fi bridge is an antenna that receives up to 100 heart rate monitor signals and sends the data to the iPad or iPhone over Wi-Fi.

This list contains all ANT+ heart rate monitors that are compatible with OnBeat.
ANT+ List

Garmin

Garmin monitors do not send a Bluetooth signal and will not connect directly to the iPad/iPhone. They only send an ANT+ signal, so they require our ANT+ antenna. Please submit a support request to order the antenna.

Understanding Bluetooth and ANT+

There are two types of heart rate monitors available on the market, Bluetooth and ANT+, and each has pros and cons. Bluetooth is readily available on personal mobile devices but can only be connected to one iPhone or iPad simultaneously. Athletes must disconnect their Bluetooth heart rate monitor from their phones before connecting it to OnBeat. ANT+, on the other hand, can be connected to multiple iPads and iPhones simultaneously, but it needs extra hardware (a WiFi Bridge) to connect to OnBeat.
