Helio Strap

I noticed a large drop in my HRV a week ago from a baseline of 71 down to low 60s followed by a steady increase in RHR. My skin temperature has also been consistently above normal by +02 - +0.6C. The app kept telling me to 'pay attention', but I felt fine so I put it down to bad data from the sensor

Hey guys,

Like many of you, I couldn’t find a decent-looking band for the Helio Strap. It’s a great device for the price ( good software, solid tracking) but let’s be honest, the design isn’t exactly "fashion-friendly"...

So I decided to make my own adapter inspired by the Polar Loop design. It

Jotted down some takeaways:

Compared to Oura Resting HR: pretty much the same HRV: similar Temperature: don’t really trust either Sleep score: largely the same Recovery score (Oura readiness): slightly different but measuring different things

No, I’m not wearing them all on my right wrist, but I had to for the pic.

Long story short, a couple of months ago I got my hands on a Polar 360. This was before Polar announced their September release and before the Helio Strap was revealed. I’m a software engineer, and since Polar open-sourced th

This video is "members first" for now, but he is currently re-testing the Helio Strap due to the "special edition" being send to him, which features a different band.

Got the amazfit helio strap from US and it seems to be totally worth it. The sensors are very accurate and it even has a temp sensor. It figures out what part of body you’ve trained ( i was super impressed when i saw the workout report ) and the sleep tracking has been okay so far. Will be testing

I tested both devices for 9 days and will compare their performance across different categories. Below, I’ll rank them in order of personal importance.

Wore both my polar h10 and the helio strap(worn on bicep) when doing my vo2 intervals today and was pretty impressed by how well it tracked.

I received both trackers today and will compare the data over the next days. First impression: Polar Loop looks way better and has a smaller fit. Comfort is similar, but Helio is maybe a bit more comfortable (more elastic).

I’ve been using the Pebble 2 Duo for a few weeks now and wanted to share some thoughts.

My priorities for a smartwatch are: long battery life, fun aesthetic, notifications and calendar access, weather info, sunrise/sunset and moon phase data, waterproofing, and automatic time zone/DST adjustment. I
