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

From pre-order to massive disappointment: firmware updates ruined connectivity

Well, the main matter is that even when it works the way it should it does not offer anything more or better than the competition but usually less and worse. When it comes to Amazfit Helio strap, Google Fitbit Air, Garmin Cirqua or Whoop, you can think of something that would give any of these devic

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'

Polar SW 4.X release

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

Vertical 2 vs Grit X2 Pro

Polar build quality isn’t better. Importantly, the daily user experience is also bad because the watch OS itself needs serious attention. Just my opinions and I genuinely am a Polar fan and have spent many posts lamenting their current state because I wish they weren’t in this position. You can be p

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

Polar loop thoughts

I've been using Helio Strap for ~6 months as well as Polar Loop for a few weeks. Nah, not comparable. Given the price vs. what Loop gives - it should cost 60 EUR max, compared to what Helio provides. Biggest challenges with the Loop:- No vibration, no alarms- No HR broadcast- No seamless multi devic

Polar loop experience is really disappointing

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.

Street X megathread

Don't think they sent them to any bigger names in advance, but please correct me if I'm wrong isn't it basically an all plastic M3 except last gen sensor, no maps, no ECG, no o2? Not sure what's really to review if I'm honest. It's a decent price point for the features, love the flashlight finally,
