My initial experience, a couple of years ago with customer support wasn't that great, but boy have they turned things around! They responded to my email really quickly and with really good technical advice. It was first class service. Thank you Poonam!!

I initially thought that the Frontier X2 wouldn't be able to measure and display what I wanted. I was very wrong! I have only had the device a couple of days and it has met my expectations- and I don't think I've got to the bottom of it yet. I got the device to be aware of health issues (AF) rather than sports related. The quality of the ECG printouts is outstanding. I managed to carry out a 17hr reading (including 8 hours of sleep). The speed of delivery to the UK was as stated i.e. really quick and I had a helpful discussion with one of the helpers after ordering. I look forward to finding out more about the Frontier X2 in the coming days.

My early impressions are really good. This looks like any similar heart rate montior, with a chest band containing electrodes. It's comfortable and easy to wear (you rapidly forget you have it on). The difference is it records a continuous ECG rather than just measuring pulse rate. And it does it remarkably well. I'm a doctor, and I know how difficult it is to get a good quality ECG with a sweaty moving patient. Nonetheless, this system achieves it remarkably well. There is some noise/artefact on extremes of exercise, but so far my experience is nothing but positive.

They sorted it out so I have adjusted the review.

For those of us who are aging-athletes with many decades of ultra-endurance training and competition and consequent cardiovascular issues, the metrics FF X2 provides are indispensable to be able to see in real-time. For me, those data, when combined with real-time measurement of muscle oxygen and watt output allow me to calibrate my work to enhance safety and fitness. To my knowledge, there are no other wearable monitors at the price point of the X2 and Premium subscription that can provide such data.

Quick background--I had been having some irregular heart beats during exercise and was looking for a way to investigate what was going on. Found the Fourth Frontier X2 online. I use it every time I workout now and also when I sleep. I have gotten a lot of great insight into my heart health and am quite happy with the product. The X2 is helping me and my doctor manage my newly diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation. --The Heart Strain indicator is quite helpful. I have had the "buzz" on the device go off a couple of times. It tells me to lower my workout intensity. --The heart rate is accurate--as compared with my Polar H10 strap and several manual counts. --Breath rate is helpful information not supplied by other heart rate devices --The HRV reading is helpful and compares very close to my Oura ring. --Sleep data is impressive and compares very close to the Oura ring. --The X2 could easily take the place of the Polar H10 strap and Oura ring. --The App is intuitive and provides a lot of useful information. --I love that the app will generate a PDF of the ECG that can be emailed to your cardiologist/doctor. --I love that the X2 is charged via USB instead of a battery like the H10. --Battery life is impressive--I have worn it all night while sleeping followed by 3 hours of use during exercise and have not gone below 70% charge. I once wore it for 18 hours and only got to 60% charge. The X2 charges in just a few minutes-much faster than my Apple watch. --My cardiologist was enthusiastic about my use of the X2. He found the ECG data useful--especially because he could see what was happening during a specific activity. I had worn a 2 week monitor through him--but of course I didn't have any weird beats until after I turned in his device. The X2 ECG is helping to guide my treatment.

If you want to really learn about your heart health and what impact it, this is the device. I’ve used many health devices, and they all more or less give you the same data. While that data is informative, I wanted deeper insights into my heart health and Fourth Frontier does this better than any device I know. Yes, it’s on the pricier side and I was reluctant about that, but the great thing is that you can get a full, one-on-one demo. I talked with Vijay Kumar who took the time to walk me through what it does, answered all my questions, and made sure the device is a fit for my needs. I was looking for a device that would give me all-day readings, and he showed me exactly how it could do just that. So, the purchase was seamless. I never felt rushed or pressured. The device itself far outdid my expectations. I was nervous about whether the battery would give all-day readings, and it does. The readings give me much better insights into my heart function than any device I’ve tried. What’s even better is that you get a consultation with a real healthcare professional who helps you understand your readings. I learned more in that session than months and years of data from other sources and/or doctor visits. Both the mobile device and the desktop dashboard give you a lot of insights. Finally, in just the few months I’ve owned this device, they have updated and added features and services so that the device and the information continue to improve. As someone who loves to try out new tech and learn about my health through insights, I’m super impressed!

I've had lots of exercise monitors over the years but was looking for one with multiple and extensive features. The Fourth Frontier X2 is an excellent monitor providing me with all the stats I'm interested in for a heart monitor...as well as special features such as an indication of VO2 Max (with the premium membership). Also, customer service has been excellent vie email whenever I've had a question.
