For example, can I only wear the Polar H10 when I go jogging? Will the route also be recorded then or do I always need an additional smartwatch or smartphone nearby?

Accepted Answer

Hoi - most of these heart rate monitors do exactly one thing: record the heart rate and transmit it directly via ANT+ or BT LE to a connected device - which then displays it. 
So, unfortunately, no, these belts cannot determine the training distance covered via GPS; for this you need at least a corresponding fitness watch or a smartphone.
The fitness watch can also record the heart rate... (cough :) ).
