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

What happened to Polar?

As much as I think that Polar software is sometimes buggy, I went back to them after using Apple Watch and Garmin. I do not need a smartwatch, only decent training devices. Also, oddly enough my experience with the new Loop is very positive, I had read many negative reviews and instead it’s working

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

Polar loop : very happy

I got my Polar Loop 4 days ago, wearing it all day since then. And i really like it. I tried a couple of cheap bands - but the result was always the same - bad sleep tracking (it was ALWAYS wrong), HR check every 30 minutes (what do people expect from measuring heart rate only every 30 minutes?) and

Is the polar band still bad? (Help)

I have a decade of workout/race history in Flow and have never had a problem with losing any data. I purchased a Loop so I could continue tracking my daily activity and sleep patterns without having to wear a Polar watch 24/7, and am reasonably satisfied with the purchase. It definitely does not hav

Loop megathread

Honestly i don‘t get all the bad reviews. Yes the calorie estimation is off by far, but it is on every tracker I have owned so far. When i go for a run I wear the loop and my garmin, the heart rate results are almost the same. Sleep tracking is GREAT. It was visible in the data that I will soon fall

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

Loop megathread

I just wanted to share my experience of owning the Polar Loop for about a month now. Hopefully it helps anyone who is thinking about getting one. So I have never had a screenless health band before, have had one of the older models of the apple watch that I strictly only used for workouts as I still
