Polar - the future or perhaps just the past?

As a casual user, I like polar. Software is simple in my eyes, hardware is good and has no monthly subscriptions, which is a big plus. Polar also replaced my ignite 3 after the battery failed under warranty without a fuss. European brand, Finnish to be exact. All in all I think Polar is doing good b

Is the polar band still bad? (Help)

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

Doubt whether to buy

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

Loop megathread

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.

Smart "watch": Polar loop (Finnish)

I've had Polar activity tracking watches for probably 20 years. I don't have experience with the Loop specifically but if you're looking for an activity tracker, I prefer Polar over others such as Garmin.

Polar Loop for sleep & passive tracking : thoughts ?

I LOVE my little Polar Loop and I also like the Polar Flow app. It gives me the info I need and nothing more. It’s not fancy, or flashy but it gets the job done. If you want the info from both Garmin and Polar will sync to FItbit which is soon to be renamed Google Health. I went to a convention for
