For the most part
The Polar Loop is designed well (with one glaring flaw
Which we’ll get to). It’s subtle
Tough and even waterproof so you can happily go for a swim with it one. It logs steps and estimates calories
And provides a much more detailed breakdown via an iPhone app
Showing you have much of your day is spent being active. Perhaps most importantly
It also tells the time on command
Pairs with heart rate chest strap
Impressive battery life
A good price point
Can be worn swimming

Instead of opting to sell two sizes of wristband as Nike does
Polar’s made an odd decision - provide a large one and let you cut it down to size. This does work but it’s also something you’ve only got one shot at adjusting - once you’ve trimmed it
There’s no way to fix it except get a replacement band
Which will take time and add frustration to the experience.Battery life on the Polar Loop is

Bright LED displa, Waterproo, Attractive desig, Can be paired with heart rate senso, Inexpensive
Must cut band to fit wris, No food trackin, No sleep trackin, Does not record mile, Must sync with computer before first use

Can pair to a heart rate strap, Just works factor, easy to use, Uploads via both Bluetooth Smart (phone) as well as USB (PC/Mac), Polar Flow site is pretty impressive for just being launched
No Android app yet (March/April 2014 timeframe), Can't easily snip and then save HR sections of workout sessions on site, No data export option
In a word: It's a less capable, less user-friendly device than our favourite fitness trackers, which again are the Fitbit Force, the Withings Pulse, and the Basis B1 Band. The Loop will run you about $160, and it's going to be another $80 or so for the H...

Comfortable fit, Water resistant
Unnecessarily complicated setup, No vibrating alerts, No Android app
The Polar Loop is one of the more disappointing fitness bands I've tried out. While you may be able to overcome the slightly fiddly setup, the information gathered isn't displayed in a totally understandable manner. Compared to the Fitbit which breaks e...

Le Polar Loop est un bracelet connecté très attrayant avec un écran lumineux, vendu 100 euros, et qui s'avère donc moins cher que de nombreux autres appareils connectés concurrents. Cependant, le manque du suivi de sommeil complet, l'enregistrement de vot...
Étanchéité (jusqu'à 20 m), Possibilité de couplage avec cardiofréquencemètre (Polar H6 ou H7), Interface Web complète, Outils intéressants en utilisation sportive, Un prix qui fait la différence par rapport à certains concurrents
Nécessité de couper manuellement le bracelet pour l'adapter à son poignet, Connecteur perfectible, Le bouton sensitif qui se déclenche sous l'eau et siphonne la batterie, Application mobile iOS uniquement, Manque de cohérence entre l'application mobile et
Polar livre un tracker d'activité original et dont certaines fonctionnalités sont particulièrement bien abouties. Son couplage possible avec un cardiofréquencemètre fait vivre une expérience complète, qu'il est possible de partager sur Internet. C'est aus...

Jeder der getesteten Activity-Tracker erfüllt den Zweck, für den er gedacht ist. Die schmucken Armbänder sind streng genommen eine Motivationshilfe für all diejenigen, die ihre Vorsätze vom Jahreswechsel nun konsequent umsetzen wollen. Ich bewege mi...
