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

Google just launched the Fitbit Air. $99 and no subscription needed. It is so over for WHOOP. ( I feel sorry for you if you brought some.)
If you want something similar but with privacy (not harvesting your data) you can buy Polar's Loop for 199$

Air Hype
Depends on time because google have pre orders and only releasing on 26 and at same time all reviews come out with comparison cause they are all embargoed till then on review words and comparisons according with DC Rainmaker So if Garmin announce during that week people might hold but if not or if t

Should I buy a V3 or wait for the next model?
So you swap from what model ? I just swap a month ago form Polar Pacer Pro to V3 and I got the same questions as you… but I think it next model will be next year, my guess is the are targeting different segments right now with loop and street X. My takes on the swap. I’m happy overall but it’s not d

From pre-order to massive disappointment: firmware updates ruined connectivity
Well, the main matter is that even when it works the way it should it does not offer anything more or better than the competition but usually less and worse. When it comes to Amazfit Helio strap, Google Fitbit Air, Garmin Cirqua or Whoop, you can think of something that would give any of these devic

Help finding new watch
Since you're talking about dollars, I assume you're in the US. Polar's US pricing model is insane (unless you are buying a Loop, which is prices "normal" relative to Canadian pricing). So basically buying direct from Polar (or Amazon who will sell at MSRP) is off the table. Because you'll get way mo

Polar loop : very happy
Congratulations on your Polar Loop!! I absolutely love mine, but I read the manual and did the research before purchasing to make sure it fit my needs. I find the people most disappointed with it are the ones that didn’t understand what it was and what it does. It’s such a great little device!

Polar - the future or perhaps just the past?
I used to think Polar was a premium brand on the same level as Garmin. That changed after I tried the Polar Loop. At this point, the only things really keeping Polar relevant are the huge amount of historical data they’ve collected and the H10 chest strap, which is still seen as the gold standard. T

Fitbit Air vs Whoop... So the battle begins!
I was a Whoop user for a couple of years, but could no longer justify the subscription cost and moved to Amazfit's Helio Strap at the end of last year - although I have just pre ordered the Fitbit Air because everything else in my life is Google, I have the AI One subscription so get Fitbit Premium

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
