Testing of all kinds of smart wristbands only realize my belief that my physical activity, especially the last times is … zero. With dismay I look at the results in walk distance each day, and the same band or watch - depending on which device I test - not me able in any way to motivate, to move from the spot. This depressing (to me at least) the beginning I invite you to read the review ties Polar Loop 2.
Loop 2 is the first band for which I met with the need to shorten the belt before you start your adventure with the device. The strap is rubber, when removed from the box relatively long (24 cm). Our first task is to measure the circumference of your wrist thanks to a measuring cup supplied (which is really part of the paper work), and then cutting the unnecessary part of the strip with scissors. True, he rarely found a solution? In the meantime, you have to deal with removing and then inserting the telescopes to fasten, but it is more art, because in the box we have the right tool, designed to help us in this. There is also a spare telescope, if one is accidentally lost somewhere.
The same clasp is made of stainless steel and is standard - watch, closed with a latch. On its front part a Polar logo, which, after a long time of use is its powerful scratching. If you have concerns about the reliability fastener can you in this place to calm - I do not remember any situation in which the band by itself unbuttoned during violent movements or during physical activity.
Did I mention that out of the box band, and actually her belt, shorten. I said no, however, that this is a small drawback of this device - the maximum personalize the size of the circuit will automatically reduce a group of people, which then possibly we can give the armband. What’s more, we will not be able to use it well at the moment, if we happened to firmly put on weight (purely hypothetical).
Appearance Polar Loop 2 is universal and fits both more formal dress (well, maybe not in the pink version …), as well as sports. Band mostly consists of a rubber strap fastener made of stainless steel and two small, shiny plastic pieces, between which is mounted a small screen. There is also a touch button, located next to the display, which is responsible for changing the content on the display.
From the inside of the turn have a connector for charging, but custom, which is another drawback - while driving on a long trip is not us shall help her usual microUSB charger. Fortunately, the same working time does not allow us to worry too much about it, what you will learn in the corresponding paragraph in the following review.
CONFIGURATION APPLICATION
Once we have cut the strap bands, we can go to its configuration. And although it sounds perhaps quite lofty, is not a difficult process. With Google Play or the App Store simply download the Polar Flow, in which you have to create a new account or log on to existing ones. We go through several steps in which we give the most important data about themselves (gender, age, weight, height, date of birth), and then retrieving armband. To turn on the Bluetooth longer simply hold down the button and wait for the expiry of the display. After a moment, the band is connected to the phone, but - what is interesting and strange at the same time - to synchronize data between them turn on the GPS in your phone. Totally I do not understand.
