if they spent like half their incessant ad budget on getting these things approved through insurance or just cutting the price they might be affordable. the actual sensor that the visible band uses is one of the polar sensors. I think its pretty close to the polar loop. what you're paying for isn't

I’ve been a Polar user for 12 years and I have no intention of switching to something else. The hardware’s good and I enjoy the fact that the product has so little bloat outside actual sports tracking. But my god, I don’t understand what the folks at the company are doing all day long. They release

As a Whoop user (soon to leave them) I hope they lose. Polar looks much better. And any person with a single brain cell can see the difference between Loop and Whoop from 10 feet. If Whoop reaaaally wants to go this way, then Helio Strap is more similar to Whoop in terms of looks, imo.

Make sure you like Polar's app and web setup first. I don't mind it but the presentation is dated and a turn off for a lot of people. If you change your mindset about "steps" a little bit and think more in terms of a general activity tally, yes it'll track "steps". In some ways Polar's approach here

Hi there. I get the impression that it bought the Loop wishing it would be everything without doing any research before. A M3 or I3 might have been more suitable for you. Polar doesn’t do fluffing.Shoe tracking, reps detection and cool stuff. The apps do lack but it does what it needs and the algori

Polar's problems are bigger than the US, and their decline significantly predates the current US administration. Long story short: they stopped innovating. Flow hasn't seen any real updates in a decade; entire product lines (e.g. cycling computers) have been canceled, the software in their devices i

You should read how polar measures activities. It is not wrong, but different to other systems. https://support.polar.com/en/support/the_what_and_how_of_polar_24_7_activity_tracking Here is the loop manual, also worth to read: https://support.polar.com/e_manuals/polar-loop/polar-loop-user-manual-english/manua
