Has anyone used a Wahoo Blue Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor with an iPhone 4S in the UK? I've started training for a half marathon and want to keep an eye on my Heart Rate. This looks cool because I'll be able to review my heart rate in Endomondo after the run, and look back over all my workouts for that data. However, on Amazon it has mixed reviews. The other option I was looking at was a Polar FT4, which sounds like it might be a bit more reliable, but perhaps more limited when reviewing?

Just discovered Polar have their own iPhone compatible strap: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Polar-Bluetooth-Sensor-Compatible-iPhone/dp/B007S088F4/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Has anyone used either the Wahoo Blue or Polar Bluetooth strap successfully with the iPhone 4S?

In case anyone else wants a comparison, have found this article which is reasonably useful:

Bought the Wahoo Blue one and on first try (playing squash, and cycling to and from squash) it worked really well, given me some useful data already. Looking forward to the results when I go for a run, which is the main reason I purchased it for.

As long as I dampen the two sensors, it works a treat (so far).
