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.

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

Polar loop : very happy

I got my Polar Loop 4 days ago, wearing it all day since then. And i really like it. I tried a couple of cheap bands - but the result was always the same - bad sleep tracking (it was ALWAYS wrong), HR check every 30 minutes (what do people expect from measuring heart rate only every 30 minutes?) and

BWT: Anyone ditch their Apple Watch?

Polar doesn’t charge a separate subscription. I use the loop which is a wearable band but not a watch, so no screens etc.
