I love my Polar Loop.
I chose the Polar Loop as I wanted an activity monitoring bracelet that had connectivity with a Heart Rate monitor. FitBits, Jawbones did not have that capability. Also, Polar is known for the quality of their HRMs. It's also stylish and comfortable. People always ask me what it is/what it does and comment how cool it looks. I've recommended this to my friends and they ended up buying it themselves and loving it too! Polar should pay me. LOL.

Odd to set up, but once that's done
I'd read great things about the Polar Loop, and decided to give it a try. Upon purchasing and taking home, I was sure to read the instructions - several times - as one has to cut the band to make it fit. Polar does have a replacement policy, but who wants to use those? Needless to say, instructions and wrist measurement were simple. The device is easy to use once fitted, and provides accurate detail. Especially with the heart monitor (I've a separate review for the H7), every detail is tracked. With the H7, battery life goes down to 2~3 days. Without the H7, the device lasts for 5. I like how the band is waterproof, so I can wake up and shower and not be bothered. Readouts on active and inactive times were pretty much on the mark, with occasional exceptions - which were few. Oh, do not fit this band on your arm that you intend to use a computer mouse with. Or swap wrists and remember to update the program you're using it on the other wrist. Yup, the application (Windows, Mac OS X for desktops, iOS and Android mobile devices) will ask which arm your band is on. Accuracy is a nice touch. The app shows how often you're lying down, sitting, standing, moving, rapidly moving. The results are definitely solid, though using a recumbent bike isn't going to get you anywhere - in terms of seeing activity, unless you are wearing a heart monitor. There is no sensor for stair-climbing, but it's a minor nitpick. Overall, I am impressed by the unit and its accuracy, especially with the heart monitor.

Polar Loop - feedback from a fitness professional
I am a 22 year experienced personal trainer and a technology fanatic. I've researched many other activity trackers but the only device that caught my attention was the Polar Loop. Today everybody wants to expend calories but it seems consumers are being misled by features lacking true merit. As a fitness expert, I see that caloric expenditure cannot be accurately measured by a motion sensor alone nor can it be determined by the type of exercises you perform. There are too many variables to consider such as resistance and speed of the movement thus the fitness level of the user. Although a few activity trackers utilize the measurement of skin temperature and skin moisture that may seem interesting,I still think it's still a matter of years before any company can develop a feasible working formula. But, I know there are at least three scientifically proven methods that will work. One method is done by measuring your oxygen uptake OR carbon dioxide out-take. The other is by measuring heart rate. Unfortunately today you can only find oxygen measuring masks at a specialized physician,a high profile athlete facility or cardiologist. But with the Polar Loop; it is currently the only activity tracker compatible with a chest heart rate monitor. I've had my Loop for about a week and I'm testing the Loop through many variations of exercise routines and applications. Keep in mind that the Polar Loop will function and track without the optional chest heart rate strap, but it will function similar to many of the other activity trackers such as the Nike Fuel Band, Jawbone Up, Fitbit Force etc. If you pair it with the Polar H7 heart rate strap it improves calorie expenditure tracking significantly. I really mean SIGNIFICANTLY. I don't intend to wear both pieces all the time because that would be such an inconvenience but wearing the strap during workouts and recreation is ideal and clearly you can see a difference in your activity reports. Attached is a screen shot of one of the graph reports that was mocked up. I added the workout information just to reflect how the heart rate monitor makes a difference from exercise to exercise. Remember if you purchase an activity tracker that detects motion alone, it will count activity based on repetitions. As you can see, I performed very minimal reps in this workout. So, using a motion sensor alone; If I wave at someone for 50 minutes in duration, it would probably show more calories expended than my intense heavy workout. right? Also, I've included a VIDEO TIP for swimmers that wish to use the loop in the water.
