Loop

Dear community (I work for Polar), Usually, we’re happy to watch from the sidelines and not get involved in Reddit conversations. However, we felt it was important to jump in here to address some concerns. Regarding the emails sent out earlier today: If you have already received a tracking number, y

As a Whoop user (soon to leave them) I hope they lose. Polar looks much better. And any person with a single brain cell can see the difference between Loop and Whoop from 10 feet. If Whoop reaaaally wants to go this way, then Helio Strap is more similar to Whoop in terms of looks, imo.

Make sure you like Polar's app and web setup first. I don't mind it but the presentation is dated and a turn off for a lot of people.

I really like the AMOLED screen, and the battery life is quite acceptable. It gives me the metrics I want with no silly fluff. And I have no real issues with either ve

Workout auto detection on the Apple Watch operates on movement patterns, not heart rate spikes. The watch looks for a specific, consistent motion sustained for a certain period of time, on the Apple Watch 11 it’s roughly ten minutes, before it triggers an automatic workout notification but it also t

I have Vantage V2 and Polar Loop I really like the combination. Things I did notice: Have to manually switch between devices in Polar Flow(?), but it stores the data, at least for a few days. Iirc used to auto switch between devices(?) If I wear the Loop to sleep instead the V2 I won't get the sport
