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...).

Since the Frontier X2 is positioned close to the heart, it can sense tiny changes like the opening and closing of the heart valves. This opens up the door to measuring PEP, LVET, LVEF and various other haemodynamic parameters which a wrist watch would never be able to measure. Around your chest everything feels lightweight. The actual measurements of the core unit come in at 73mm x 24mm x 13mm and 25 grams in weight. That’s pretty close to a standard heart rate chest strap. As far as battery life, on a full charge you can expect around a day if Frontier X is used continuously. Which might not sound like a lot. But, most people are likely to use it from time to time – primarily as a chest strap while exercising. Taking that into account, the typical user will only need to reach for a charger once every two weeks. A new programme that shines a light on the innovative work happening in the cardiovascular field to offer hope for millions of people in the future.

Exercise and Training

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. We understand the importance of peace of mind during strenuous activities, and we're here to provide you with accurate heart rate monitoring. If you ever have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Your satisfaction and well-being are our top priorities. Also, it would be nice to be able to view, in real-time, more than just heart rate on connected Garmin watches during exercise (via a ConnectIQ app / data field). Frontier X is already transmitting heart rate information, so surely it can be done. When I had problem charging the monitor, Support was on the phone with me to resolve the problem, and then followed up to ensure that the problem had actually been resolved. My Frontier X2 is such a significant step up in data access from my old basic heart rate monitors that I can't imagine exercising without it. Neither can my cardiologist.

I’d say it sits somewhere between a sports and a health wearable.You can use Frontier X in one of three ways during exercise. The default way is by pairing it to the iOS or Android smartphone app and starting and stopping workouts from there. The device uses Bluetooth to communicate with its surroundings so there is no ANT+ support. Or you can use Frontier X on its own and then sync everything to the smartphone afterwards. 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. It's also impressive to know that you've utilized it to calculate your FTP and even made a positive impression on your GP. Taking control of your health and well-being is a commendable step, and we are honored to be a part of your journey. In other news, Frontier X2 has now been introduced.

The question is – is it worth the money? The wearable is quite pricey. Well, that really comes down to – what do you really need? I have used Fourth Frontier for over 1 year. It provides much more information than Apple Watch or Whoop, both of which I have used. The Frontier X is IP67 rated and waterproof up to 1.5 metres. Battery life is 'up to' 24 hours of continuous use or two weeks of 'typical use'. There is also an option to see real-time data on Apple watches and Apple/Android phones plus to live-stream and record ECG for up to 24 hours. Detailed ECG summary is available on the web app. Please ensure that the Frontier X/X2 is blinking blue while your third-party device searches for other external HRM's. This signifies that the Frontier X/X2 is ready to pair. 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.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. Those with an Apple Watch will be happy to know there’s a Frontier X app that allows you to choose your activity type and start and stop it from the watch. Rather usefully, it will also display multiple Frontier X metrics on the watch in real-time. This is something that is not available on Garmin and other watches yet and is on my wish list – the ability to view other physiological metrics in real-time, in addition to heart rate. 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. At this point you have the option of editing alerts. One of these is for Cardiac Strain, the other for Breathing Rate. You can define the upper and lower limit for both. If the threshold is exceeded during exercise, you’ll get a double buzz alerting you. A recent firmware update allows you to connect Frontier X to multiple devices. A maximum of two 3rd party devices are allowed at the same time, in conjunction with the smartphone. You are unlikely to need that many but it is nice to have the option.
