Loop

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

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

The Polar Flow app is a disaster. I have tested Fitbit Air, the Whoop Helio Strap, and the Polar Loop, as well as numerous smartwatches and smart rings. Polar just doesn’t make sense to me. The app looks like software from the 90s. I’m missing a well‑designed overview, and every time I open the app,

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

I rarely write posts like this, but this one deserves it. This is my honest review 6 months after buying it (yes, i was one of the guys trusting Polar with this new product straightaway). I bought the Polar Loop thinking I’d get a simple, minimal, screen-free tracker. What I got instead is a frustra

The actual calories should be somewhere in between the two values. Generally speaking, Garmin tends to understimate while Polar trends to overestimate but I would say it is likely closer to Garmin than Polar considering that calorie counting also depends on heart rate accuracy and the heart rate mon

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,

I had using Polar Loop for a few days. Extremely disappointing!! First of all, it kept on syncing but lost connection. I switched on the “auto detection” but it failed to detect anything. Then, I simply went for a WALK and forced it to record an activity with Phone GPS on. It gave an unacceptable gr

Polar war einst eine führende Marke - heute ist Sie leider nur ein Schatten dessen, was Sie mal war. Eigentlich eine schöne Idee so ein Polar Loop. Die Umsetzung ist nicht gut.

But that is not really a current heart rate feature but a workaround of Polar Loop lacking such a feature. The start tab is meant to be used to track exercise. But then it is also silly to get a screenless device when you are interested in continious heart rate tracking. Which is probably why Polar
