Surprised by the app ugly UI

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

What happened to Polar?

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

Google just launched the Fitbit Air. $99 and no subscription needed. It is so over for WHOOP. ( I feel sorry for you if you brought some.)

If you want something similar but with privacy (not harvesting your data) you can buy Polar's Loop for 199$

Now Whoop sues Polar over fitness tracker design

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.

Also, oddly enough my experience with the new Loop is very positive, I had read many negative reviews and instead it’s working
