Loop megathread

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 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

Sleep tracking issud

Yeah either the Polar app sucks at sleep... and other stats or certain devices. I had a really bad sleep a little while ago and my Loop said I got around 8 hours when I probably got 3-4 hours and my Apple Watch said I got 3:30h

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

At this point, Helio strap is, generally speaking, still a better, more reliable, and accurate option. On top of that, Helio strap is also being updated and improved and at a faster pace than Loop. It also has a dedicated biceps strap and switching from wrist to bicep straps is really fast and conve

Loop megathread

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

Frequent sync issues

I woke up this morning and found that my Loop had been disconnected itself from Polar Flow app. I tried turn off and on of my Bluetooth but it didn’t work. I have to make a factory reset and unavoidable lost my sleep data. Very disappointing. Luckily I had my Amafit Helio on last night and able to g

Polar Loop is a disaster

If you’ve truly 'studied this for years,' then you know that Apple, Suunto and Loop use entirely different sampling frequencies and windows for HRV. Apple snapshots your HRV throughout the night, while Polar targets first 4 hours of sleep. Claiming they produce the 'exactly same' number every night

Looking for non-watch recommendations please!

Polar Loop is missing some stuff compared to Whoop or Helio. Also, the tracking seems to be not as accurate, especially when it comes to detecting sleep, naps, or activities. And did you see that app? I wouldn’t recommend that for a higher price than Helio Strap.

WHOOP is too expensive..?

Stay away from polar loop, I have one and regret buying it. Everything is bad, only mid thing is sleep tracking but it lacks nap detection.
