Bad experience - product Feedback -Loop
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

Is the polar band still bad? (Help)
Depends what you're searching for. Polar Loop is better in HR accuracy than Whoop 4.0 and Helio Strap when worn on the bicep. It's a dumpster fire like the others when worn on a small wrist like mine. Sleep tracking is good. Activity tracking works and has a daily goal with three options to choose f

Pulseira Whoop
Eu tenho feito uma revisão e estudado todos os wearables que já foram avaliados em artigos científicos. Cada um deles apresenta melhor sensibilidade para alguma característica específica (sono, frequencia cardíaca, esporte etc). O Whoop é um excelente all-around, enquanto o Loop se destaca justament

Is the polar band still bad? (Help)
I do own an H10 but honestly, never feel the need to wear it since the OHR sensors on modern watches are good enough for my needs (AWU3, Polar Grit X2 Pro). I haven’t worn a strap regularly since moving on from my old V800. My fitness level and training are not limited by requiring ECG-level HR accu

Experience with Polar Loop
Loop is good enough. The real value from any wearable comes from consistency. It's all about how consistently do you wear it and act on the data mindfully and purposefully. No wearable is going to improve you, if you do nothing. I wear mine 24/7 and analyze the data at least weekly, with daily summa

Watch recommendation help please
If not the V3, the M3 is very similar, cheaper, and "newer", while no longer the most recent. Don't sleep on the even cheaper and silly named (and newest) Street X, it has the older sensor found in the Loop (if you take HR training seriously you'll use a strap anyway, for the rest of the day the old

Vantage M3 vs Loop
I use it the same way you describe, mechanical watch on one hand and loop on another. I started with automatic workout detection but it's not very accurate so I moved to manual (if you have a polar watch it's less of an issue). I found the HR to be very accurate on the wrist (compare to H9). I don't

Polar loop thoughts
To me, the Polar brand was the gold standard of accuracy, but I have felt that the Loop (when worn on the wrist) lacked accuracy compared to my Apple Watch. Plus, I got used to haptic alarms, which the Loop is lacking. I went back to the watch. I then started experimenting with biceps bands and conf

Is it worth upgrading from an inspire 3 to the Air?
Polar previous watch sensors were not good only theirs straps are good so it was bad to start with Recent Google sensors proved to be really accurate even on wrist so it's totally different starting point to polar loop

Polar loop : very happy
Pretty much the same reasons why i got the loop, no screen, no subscription, decent sensors etc i mean it's pretty functional for what i wud like to use it for and it falls undet the EU umbrella for data protection. Hopefully Polar wake up and create a true whoop rival some day.
