Look at what the Visible Health band is showing during this flare. Invisible illness made VERY visible.

if they spent like half their incessant ad budget on getting these things approved through insurance or just cutting the price they might be affordable. the actual sensor that the visible band uses is one of the polar sensors. I think its pretty close to the polar loop. what you're paying for isn't

Latest update for some who ordered Polar Loop

Dear community (I work for Polar), Usually, we’re happy to watch from the sidelines and not get involved in Reddit conversations.

Surprised by the app ugly UI

I’ve been a Polar user for 12 years and I have no intention of switching to something else. The hardware’s good and I enjoy the fact that the product has so little bloat outside actual sports tracking. But my god, I don’t understand what the folks at the company are doing all day long. They release

Now Whoop sues Polar over fitness tracker design

As a Whoop user (soon to leave them) I hope they lose. Polar looks much better. And any person with a single brain cell can see the difference between Loop and Whoop from 10 feet. If Whoop reaaaally wants to go this way, then Helio Strap is more similar to Whoop in terms of looks, imo.

Haluaisin päivittää aktiivisuusrannekkeen/älykellon. Kertokaa minkä hommaan

Tää ei ihan sovi tohon sun toiveisiin, mutta mainitsenpa silti. Polar loop. Tässä ei oo näyttöä, ei edes värinää. Laitat ranteeseen ja sitten voit unohtaa. Appista sitten löytyy tiedot. Tiedot pysyy euroopassa, eli ei tarvi miettiä mitä jenkit tai kiina tekee sun datalla. Ihan kiva kun ruudut domino

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$

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
