Polar Loop - worth getting?

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. If you change your mindset about "steps" a little bit and think more in terms of a general activity tally, yes it'll track "steps". In some ways Polar's approach here

Bad experience - product Feedback -Loop

Hi there. I get the impression that it bought the Loop wishing it would be everything without doing any research before. A M3 or I3 might have been more suitable for you. Polar doesn’t do fluffing.Shoe tracking, reps detection and cool stuff. The apps do lack but it does what it needs and the algori

Apple Watch to Polar Loop, day 1 – Surprisingly good

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

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

Pulseira Whoop

Eu tenho feito uma revisão e estudado todos os wearables que já foram avaliados em artigos científicos. Cada um deles apresenta melhor sensibilidade para alguma característica específica (sono, frequencia cardíaca, esporte etc). O Whoop é um excelente all-around, enquanto o Loop se destaca justament

Just bought a Google Fitbit Air in the UK – Is it normal for it to count steps from hand movements?

Not my experience, used the polar loop, whoops and Apple Watch and none of them measured random hand movements like the air. The air can rack up 30 steps in a matter of seconds. It’s wild

Polar Loop for sleep & passive tracking : thoughts ?

Hello, I'm using Polar Loop for some time.The only issue I have is that sometimes it counts some activities of my life as a workout.For instance, if I'm on a rush walking at good speed from on point to another, and climb stairs from on floor to the other at the facility, that combined with stress ra

I bought a Polar Loop after seeing it lose every comparison – how bad is it really?

I didn't get a fitness tracker because I wanted lab/medical grade accuracy, I got it because I wanted a fitness tracker to track my workout and had no need for a screen on my upper arm/bicep :) this was my workout today . The data it gives me is more than accurate enough and the heart rate always se

Is the polar band still bad? (Help)

I do own an H10 but honestly, never feel the need to wear it since the OHR sensors on modern watches are good enough for my needs (AWU3, Polar Grit X2 Pro). I haven’t worn a strap regularly since moving on from my old V800. My fitness level and training are not limited by requiring ECG-level HR accu
