Wat is jouw mening hierover?

Hmm ik wordt er niet heel enthousiast van. Het klinkt leuk omdat je meer bij je gevoel zou blijven maar daar gaat het nu juist mis want hardlopen enkel op 1 variabele (hartslag) is nou juist niet lopen op gevoel, en zelf leren inzien (dat duurt ff) dat je hartslag de ene keer hoger is en de andere k

Since the new update my polar loop gen 2 is missing heart rate for periods of time of different lengths. Have some of you noticed something similar? I have kept it constantly on my wrist.

My Loop decided not to record any sleep data ast night. It did record the lowest and highest heart rate during the sleeping but no sleep , nightly recharge or boost from sleep data at all. In the last two days it would record about half an hour additional sleep data after I was already up and not ev

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

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

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

Got my Polar Loop 2 yesterday, data feels off (calories/steps/sleep) – tracking or algorithm?

I used it now for 3 weeks. Steps are totally inaccurate independently where I wear it. In a day at work will calculate all the switching I do with my left hand as steps. I’m a pilot. Seat all day. iPhone says 7000 steps and polar loop 15.000. He’s counting every button as a step. Then I swooped it t

Don't ask too many question and let him enjoy the device with the belief that it actually works as it should. But to answer your question, based on my experience surprisingly accurate during running or jogging and unusably innacurate during walking. Yes, I know, it does makes no sense but that's Pol

I can't help you with the specific issue since I have not experienced it myself but my general experience is that the Loop has not been a particularly reliable device software wise and I guess it is up to people who have a longer experience with Polar devices to tell us whether this is the kind of s

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
