    I've owned both and never had any complaints about either one.

    Coded only matters if there are a lot of people around you (like in a race) and you are worried about picking up someone else's signal. In a gym with uncoded receivers in the equipment, a coded transmitted isn't of any benefit.

    The biggest benefit is that the H2 has a user-replaceable battery so you don't have to send it back to Polar when the battery dies.

    My machine only gets the signal and displays it automatically. there no way to program it any way like some other machines. Im just trying to make sure before i buy it and it doesnt work
    its for the bike in my room so no one else is around
  • The first one (H2) looks more comfortable.
