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

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

Doubt whether to buy

That’s exactly how I use my Polar Loop. I wear my V3 for training sessions, and when I get home I synch it, turn it off (saves battery life), and put on my Loop for the rest of the day. Since the latest firmware updates I have found the Loop’s heart rate tracking and sleep tracking to be flawless. A

Loop megathread

In the week that I have had a Polar Loop 2 I have found the OHR to be virtually identical to that from a Garmin Edge 500 during bicycle rides. I think the image shows that fairly well. The only differences come when I stop - the Loop keeps recording, the Garmin pauses.

Watch recommendation help please

If not the V3, the M3 is very similar, cheaper, and "newer", while no longer the most recent. Don't sleep on the even cheaper and silly named (and newest) Street X, it has the older sensor found in the Loop (if you take HR training seriously you'll use a strap anyway, for the rest of the day the old

Polar SW 4.X release

This is not the end of all updates; rather, they will be limited to minor updates. Polar has been operating according to a certain pattern for several years. Take the Polar Loop, for example. Many people thought it would be a wristband with a new polar elixir sensor, refined and released with new fe

Vantage M3 vs Loop

I use it the same way you describe, mechanical watch on one hand and loop on another. I started with automatic workout detection but it's not very accurate so I moved to manual (if you have a polar watch it's less of an issue). I found the HR to be very accurate on the wrist (compare to H9). I don't

Polar loop experience is really disappointing

My loop doesn't connect to my phone anymore. I have tried eveything and even contacted to Polar's customer service and support and nothing works. This is literally the shittiest activity tracker I have ever owned. Next time I will do better research. I just wanted a screenless watch.

I built a personal wearable MCP to avoid Polar App and get weekly health rundowns in Claude

Fair enough, I have been using whoop and withings and once a week exporting my data to CSV and running through it with Google Gemini. This definitely looks like it will streamline the process. Im not renewing my whoop and I have a polar loop too so this looks like it's popped up at the right time. T
