Loop

The upcoming polar loop is a screen-free fitness tracker with interchangeable bands starting at 179.90€ from the well-known fitness watch brand Polar 🇫🇮. It competes with Whoop and Amazfit’s existing screen-less tracker the former famously requires an expensive subscription to use (and no more free u

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

That’s exactly how I use my Polar Loop. I wear my V3 for training sessions, and when I get home I synch it, turn it off (saves battery life), and put on my Loop for the rest of the day. Since the latest firmware updates I have found the Loop’s heart rate tracking and sleep tracking to be flawless. A

In the week that I have had a Polar Loop 2 I have found the OHR to be virtually identical to that from a Garmin Edge 500 during bicycle rides. I think the image shows that fairly well. The only differences come when I stop - the Loop keeps recording, the Garmin pauses.

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

I wear it all the time, and now only use my watch for things like the time, swim laps, some gym stuff, maps. I sometimes going hiking in the mountains or long bike rides where I like having a watch. Before I was wearing two watches which felt silly, doable but silly. This way I get one watch and one

Had some major issues with it at launch, I have some posts in the mega thread to prove it lol, persisted through many frustrations because I genuinely like Polar and want them to succeed so I do what I rarely do with any brand which is give them multiple attempts, etc. They're the OGs and I like 'em

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

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

My loop doesn't connect to my phone anymore. I have tried eveything and even contacted to Polar's customer service and support and nothing works. This is literally the shittiest activity tracker I have ever owned. Next time I will do better research. I just wanted a screenless watch.
