A proprietary charging connector and lack of an altimeter means the Polar Flow isn't the perfect fitness tracker. Although the built-in display is a major positive point, as is the very reasonable £80 price, it's an almost entirely passive device; with no...

When it comes to fitness trackers, we’re spoiled for choice in 2014 - and unless you want the extra heart rate monitor above all else, the competition makes the Polar Express a difficult sell. The Misfit Shine’s better design, astonishing battery life ...
The Polar Loop at $100 (around £60) is cheaper than the Nike Fuelband and Fitbit Force, so it's a more affordable option to buy as a fitness tracker. It does offer a lot of the information similar devices already offer and to get the richer information yo...
Abstract: The Polar Loop Activity and Sleep Tracker uses a tri-axis accelerometer to monitor movement to provide an overview of sleep, distance, activity and calories burned. With an available heart rate monitor, it offers better-quality tracking for fitness and bu...
