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 - Beautiful Device, Absolutely Terrible Experience

To be happy with the Polar Loop, you’ve got to keep your expectations modest when it comes to functionality, reliability, and sometimes accuracy. It’s pretty clear Polar wasn’t trying to innovate here, but instead aimed to provide a screenless device for less demanding users who are fine with basic,

Its here! Polar Loop Gen2.

I rarely write posts like this, but this one deserves it. This is my honest review 6 months after buying it (yes, i was one of the guys trusting Polar with this new product straightaway). I bought the Polar Loop thinking I’d get a simple, minimal, screen-free tracker. What I got instead is a frustra

Sleep tracking issud

Yeah either the Polar app sucks at sleep... and other stats or certain devices. I had a really bad sleep a little while ago and my Loop said I got around 8 hours when I probably got 3-4 hours and my Apple Watch said I got 3:30h

Polar Loop is a disaster

If you’ve truly 'studied this for years,' then you know that Apple, Suunto and Loop use entirely different sampling frequencies and windows for HRV. Apple snapshots your HRV throughout the night, while Polar targets first 4 hours of sleep. Claiming they produce the 'exactly same' number every night

Looking for non-watch recommendations please!

Polar Loop is missing some stuff compared to Whoop or Helio. Also, the tracking seems to be not as accurate, especially when it comes to detecting sleep, naps, or activities. And did you see that app? I wouldn’t recommend that for a higher price than Helio Strap.

Vantage m3 / grit x2 ohr

Well maybe the Bicep one does better but for me.the Elixir sensor of the grit x2 pro I'm using is a scam for such a big marketing, similar with polar loop and probably the street now released Even Quantified Scientist and dc rainmaker put well behind apple watch or even amazfit heliosboth on wrist i

Experience with Polar Loop

Polar loop is an absolute piece of junk — the worst of the worst. It fails to detect even the most basic movements correctly, let alone track proper exercise. Useless, frustrating, and a total waste of money. Don't bother. I am so regret to buying this item. 👎🏼

Help me choose my first Sportwatch

I am using the Polar Loop 2, and honestly, the experience has been quite disappointing. Since last month, the app has not been working properly. I wanted to attach screenshots for reference, but the option to add images is not available here. The all-day heart rate graph has been completely blank fo
