Fourth Frontier | Heart Rate Monitor in UK - 24hr Real-time

It's excellent to know that the device has provided you with accurate insights into your cardiac activity, particularly during rest and sleep. Your observations regarding the live ECG's ability to detect premature contractions and diagnose episodes of atrial fibrillation are insightful. We understand the challenges of movement artifacts and are constantly working to improve the device's capabilities. Fourth Frontier places special importance on breathing rate. The company believes that this metric is just as important as your heart rate during exercise. While that might be up for debate, most would agree on the importance of heart info. And this is where Cardiac Strain comes in. I compared the accuracy of Frontier X with a Polar OH1 chest strap coupled with a Garmin watch. The stats were bang on – practically no difference. I did spot, though, that while the maximum heart rate was typically the same or only 1 bpm off, the average heart rate on Frontier X would typically be 2 to 3 bpm lower than on Polar OH1. This is on a 5k run. My guess is that it is probably due to the 20 second wait at the outset, plus the slightly lower sampling rate as compared to a standard heart rate chest strap.On the front of the core unit is a screen which I found to be of limited use. It is a nice feature to have – but it does feel a bit superfluous. That’s because without a mirror in front of you, there’s little chance you will be able to make much use of it. Try reading something that is sitting across your chest – it’s not easy. One press of the button switches the unit on. Two presses start and end an activity. You can also use the button to log event markers during exercise. There is currently no direct integration between the Frontier X2 and these fitness apps. However, there are a couple of workarounds. Manufactured by Fourth Frontier, the wearable has been around since late 2020. The company describes it as a “chest-worn device used for athletic training, cardiac rehabilitation and remote monitoring – made to keep you healthy and away from the hospital.” And that’s a pretty accurate description. On the Cons side, the wearable is quite pricey – particularly if you compare it to a standard chest strap. The other negative is the sampling frequency of heart rate which is slightly below a standard chest strap connected to a watch. This is unlike ECG which is captured practically continuously.

There really is a lot to like about Frontier X and I love using it as a companion to my Garmin watch. I found the stats to be pretty much on par with the Polar OH1 chest strap. I'm looking at this as well. The ability to capture your ecg during a workout and review the entire workout is impressive. My only concern is that it's relatively new to the market and is based in India (support, return policy, development, etc...). Our team takes pride in providing prompt and knowledgeable support, and your kind words about their dedication and empathy mean the world to us. A high value of Cardiac Strain for prolonged periods of time can cause damage to your heart cells. Basically, you should avoid training often with such intensity. That’s because doing this can, in the long term, lead to conditions such as fibrosis or arrhythmias. Hence the usefulness of Frontier X – it buzzes to alert you in real-time if you cross into unhealthy territory.The ECG signal on Frontier X is sampled at 125Hz intervals which equates to once every 8 milliseconds. That’s quite good. This is the metric that is used to evaluate your heart health. As mentioned, you can also use Frontier X with a 3rd party device. I paired my Garmin Forerunner 945 to it with no issues whatsoever. Simply connect it as you would any other external heart rate chest strap.
