Polar Loop bundle is a group that contains the new Polar Loop activity band in conjunction with a Polar H7 Bluetooth heart rate monitor according to the Heart Rate Watch Company.
"This bundle gives you the only activity band on the market that will display real-time heart rate right on the band," says Rusty Squire, President of the Heart Rate Watch Company. He adds, "It is much more useful for exercise because heart rate is at the very core of properly conducted exercise".
GOOD IN THE WATER, OR THE GYM
Polar Loop is one of the only activity bands on the market that works in the water and it is the only band that will display heart rate. "This makes the Polar Loop Bundle far more useful and versatile as an exercise tool than any of its competitors," says Squire.
"For real exercise, outside of 24/7 activity and step tracking, all the other activity bands on the market are useless when it comes to real training time," says Squire. He adds, "The reason is they can't provide real-time heart rate data that is so critical to exercising properly".
"Polar Loop measures total steps taken daily as opposed to distance because all activity bands with accelerometers are not accurate on distance for a very simple reason," says Squire. He adds, "That reason is because everyone has significantly different stride lengths so the activity bands are only guessing at the length of your stride".
POLAR FLOW APP
"Polar Flow App can be used with your iPhone 4S, 5 or 5S to track all your activity and heart rate data," says Squire. He adds, "Polar is coming out with continual firmware updates for the Loop and hope to even have it Android compatible during 2014".
"Of the online critiques we've seen most are related to users not properly following directions for app installation or not realizing that firmware updates with added features will be forthcoming," says Squire. He adds, "We tried it and it worked great".
PRICE
The Polar Loop activity band is $99.95 and the Polar Loop bundle with the Loop and the Polar H7 heart rate monitor is $158.95.
