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

Polar - the future or perhaps just the past?

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

Not a Polar boy anymore :(

The Loop is also a mess, what a headache of a device, Polar really stinks with some devices, my H10 is perfectly fine

Polar loop regrets

Hi there! Have you read the manual?It describes the prerequisites for a automatic sync to be done. Yes the app is not the most modern in its UX but it’s getting worked on by Polar. https://support.polar.com/e_manuals/polar-loop/polar-loop-user-manual-english/manual.pdf

Do you use a fitness tracker - and does it help?

I use a Polar watch called the Pacer Pro. I didn't want the smartwatch functionality and I'm really happy with it. The app has come a long way, used to be really bad. It ties into MyFitnessPal. I also have the Loop, but it's far more bothersome than I expected. I rarely use it anymore, even though i

Metrics for climbing ?

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

New Polar Flow UI 2025

Everybody lies. Loop marketing campaign was full of hope for new UI, but somehow Polar fkupd and so they released those screenshots, phases (something that could have been done with AI in one day) to extend those hopes into unforeseeable future. Will they ever come to life? They will. Someday. One d

Polar Loop vs. Garmin Cirqa: Polar Needs to Step Up Now

Man I am really surprised by the comments that favor Polar Flow > Garmin Connect or even claim they're equivalent. I moved from an Instinct 2 to the Loop late last year, and having used both apps there is no competition, Polar Flow is horrible in comparison and has been a constant disappointment. I'

Wat is jouw mening hierover?

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

Polar - the future or perhaps just the past?

I’m being completely serious. So why is Polar suffering financial losses because of ungrateful customers? These financial losses aren’t happening for no reason. Product development isn’t about standing still functionally or failing to fix or ensure that existing products are fully functional. Why wo
