Loop

I’d like to point out that Polar has been struggling for several years now and has actually had to lay off a significant portion of its staff and make various financial cuts (which is why there’s a common system across different watch models). I’m convinced that if Polar continues down this path wit

Depends on time because google have pre orders and only releasing on 26 and at same time all reviews come out with comparison cause they are all embargoed till then on review words and comparisons according with DC Rainmaker So if Garmin announce during that week people might hold but if not or if t

Workout auto detection on the Apple Watch operates on movement patterns, not heart rate spikes. The watch looks for a specific, consistent motion sustained for a certain period of time, on the Apple Watch 11 it’s roughly ten minutes, before it triggers an automatic workout notification but it also t

It's possible within a few years, but very unlikely in the near future. There are many things that people were hoping would be included in the Vantage V3, the new Street X model or with the release of the Polar Loop. Software is the area where Polar hasn't been performing at its best for several yea

Street X, as usual everyone knows before they announce and if it’s like Polar Loop will be another disappointment under a lot of marketing and teasing

Hmm ik wordt er niet heel enthousiast van. Het klinkt leuk omdat je meer bij je gevoel zou blijven maar daar gaat het nu juist mis want hardlopen enkel op 1 variabele (hartslag) is nou juist niet lopen op gevoel, en zelf leren inzien (dat duurt ff) dat je hartslag de ene keer hoger is en de andere k

My Loop decided not to record any sleep data ast night. It did record the lowest and highest heart rate during the sleeping but no sleep , nightly recharge or boost from sleep data at all. In the last two days it would record about half an hour additional sleep data after I was already up and not ev

This is not the end of all updates; rather, they will be limited to minor updates. Polar has been operating according to a certain pattern for several years. Take the Polar Loop, for example. Many people thought it would be a wristband with a new polar elixir sensor, refined and released with new fe

You can check out my post about the Polar Loop few days ago here. For me, simply wearing the Loop while I sleep at night is enough to get all the metrics I need from it. During the day, I don't get any meaningful data from it at all. If you read my post, you'll see exactly why. As for the Helio, I t

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
