Polar A360 Fitness Tracker with Wrist Heart Rate

I love this tracker. I have had various similar devices over time, this is the best yet. It is not perfect (I'd love longer battery life), but it does pretty much everything I need. I really wanted a waterproof model with heart rate monitoring and the ability to track different activities. This fits the bill really well. I wore it every day on a fortnight's holiday swimming a lot in the sea and a swimming pool. It performed brilliantly. Using my phone I changed the set of activities I can choose to track, though you are limited to 20 at any one time (from a list of maybe 50). Very pleased

I upgraded from the polar a300 to the a360. So far I am really liking the watch and I am glad I made the change Pros: Nice sized screen easy to use and bright colours Workout options e.g strength training, running, cycling Good app that tracks sleep, activity, workouts Inactivity alert if you sit down for an hour Good colour band options Cons: My watch did fall off when I was in bed asleep which someone else said! The small strap size is really small so need to get a medium Have to remember to loosen after work on or can dig in your wrist abit The screen of the watch doesn't stay on during workout The main disappointment I have is that my old polar a300's battery used to last a week and a half but this only lasted me 3 days with 3h of workout and with the text/call notifications turned off.. just a pain to have to take off and charge which means I sometimes miss tracking my sleep... Overall I am really happy but there are just a few tweaks that polar need to do to get 5 stars..

I've been using this a few days now and must say I think this product is great. I did a fair bit of research when looking for a new fitness monitor, and kept coming back to this one. This is how I've found it so far... Steps: I already had a fitbit one and used it to compare step counts - they both gave pretty much the same answer - which I think is great as the one is a belt based reader, not an arm one. Heart rate: I did some random checking with a monitor I have, and this was always within a few BPM, if not matching. I'm very happy with the accuracy. When in training mode, it breaks your heart rate in to 5 zones really helps to target your workout. Training: This is where it comes in to its own. I really like how it breaks your movement in to separate categories - from high activity (like running/Cycling) right the way down to sitting at my desk or sleeping. It gives helpful tips like "to meet your goal, you need to do 29 mins of skipping, or 2 hours gentle dancing" - I'm finding this a good way of keeping motivated to move more. I even like the fact it gives me a gentle nudge if I've been working too long so I get up and move for a bit. Updating: When I first turning it on, it already had 5 updates ready. This process was very quick and easy and I liked the way it handled it - well written and thought out Polar. I can imagine any future updates will also be this easy. Battery: A bit soon to say as I've only had it a few days but I can imagine getting about a week out of a charge should be do-able. Phone App: I like the layout of the Polar Flow app - the activity clock shows you really quickly when you've been moving and how much, shows calories, sleep and anything else you'd want. If you do a work out, it pops a little heart when you did it with a great drill down of your performance. Negatives: Not many but there is still a lack of 3rd party support for this. I tried syncing it with various other apps (on android). There's nothing for use with My Fitness Pal or Samsung S Health and I found sync with other apps to be a bit scarce. It does work with Google Fit - but as that is still very much in development, it doesn't really give you anything. Also, at the time of writing this, the Android notifications are still "TBC". The other thing to mention is that it doesn't broadcast your HR to gym equipment, so unless you get the optional chest strap, you'll find yourself looking at your wrist to make sure you stay in your zone. All things considered, I think this is a great product and am happy I have got this. It's already got me moving more than my old fitbit did and I'm feeling really motivated to get more active.

An excellent watch but be aware that this watch if price lower than rrp is likely to be old stock. Which isn't a problem but the watch will likely need a firmware update as some of the features may be missing from the watch. This took me a little time to work out. Once its up and running it is a beautiful watch with an excellent screen and the training heart rate monitor graph is brilliant. Why other watches dont display the heart rate information in that way i do not know but it really is great. Now for the problem with the watch, the only one i could find was the strap. The securing strap that works along side the main strap didn't last very long with me which isn't a problem with most watches but it is with this one. Reasons is that the strap on the watch isnt a standard type. Anyway to keep the story short I lostthe watch whilst going swimming in the sea. I will be contacting Polar to see if I can get a replacement as I do believe this is a design flaw. Maybe i have been unlucky! Will update !

Preso "usato come nuovo" allo straordinario prezzo di 65 euro, mi è arrivato un prodotto mai utilizzato, perfetto! Amazon è una garanzia in questo. Ero alla ricerca di un dispositivo che potesse darmi riscontro dei miei allenamenti in palestra (bodybuilding) e dopo aver tanto ponderato la scelta tra fitbit garmin e polar alla fine ho acquistato quest'ultimo che mi sento di consigliare a tutti coloro che non cercano un indossabile quotidiano che faccia "tutto mediamente bene" ma a coloro che cercano un dispositivo che tenda più al monitoraggio dell'attività fisica sportiva e lo faccia in maniera molto accurata. L'ho testato anche nell'utilizzo prolungato per tutto il giorno e per il monitoraggio del sonno (che è molto accurato) e il dispositivo va bene, rispetto a un fitbit è meno "elegante" e forse sovrastima un pò i passi (tra polar e contapassi dell'iphone X ci sono circa 1200 passi di scarto) perché forse tratto in inganno da situazioni al limiti (procedere lentamente nel traffico ad esempio), ma ho potuto riscontrare che in realtà conta tutto, anche i passi che si fanno in casa, quindi il valore reso è certamente più alto del reale ma non molto distante dall'effettivo. Per quanto riguarda il conteggio dei piani saliti ha gli stessi problemi di accuratezza della concorrenza, ma non essendo un parametro che mi interessa non lo vedo come un problema. Ottimo il rilevamento del dispendio calorico diviso tra dispendio attivo e a riposo, indossandolo la notte si ottiene anche il dispendio calorico nel sonno (che almeno per me è ottimo per calibrare i pasti prima di dormire). Conta anche in maniera precisa il dispendio calorico complessivo della giornata, i dati che segna sono in linea con le varie formule per i calcoli del fabbisogno calorico. Ovviamente, a mio avviso, il migliore per il tracking delle attività fisiche, ha una lista infinità di attività già impostate. Rilevazione frequenza cardiaca costante, in linea anche con cambi di frequenza repentini (non in tempo reale come la fascia ma in breve rileva l'innalzamento). Sul lungo periodo, confrontato con la fascia, dopo circa 15 minuti di attività si allinea perfettamente ai valori resi da una fascia, quindi precisione al top. Durata batteria per me ottima, lo indosso solo durante gli allenamenti e la notte, mentre il giorno non lo porto sempre. Con notifiche disattivate (Che non reputo necessarie) ci faccio tranquillamente una settimana. Ottima la gestione tramite App Polar Flow e tramite computer fisso. Nessun problema di sincronizzazione (macbook pro + iPhone X). Si integra con l'app salute apple e con myfitnespal e molte altre. Per il prezzo a cui l'ho comprato (una ventina di euro più del miglior tracker cinese) è un affare. Veramente consigliato per chi fa sport!

Monitor recomendable para mantenerte en forma sin complicaciones y con un porcentaje de precision bueno. La presentación de gráficas en la laptop es muy útil para observar tu desempeño en el tiempo.

I bought it as a birthday But the ugliest part that the pack that contains product was torn! So unruly!

Précieux auxiliaire des temps modernes qui par ses mesures qui peuvent paraître imprécisent quand on en a pas la parfaite maitrise rassure par sa présence et ses enregistrements qui intégrés dans des programme d'analyse des données restituent une vision directionnelle quantifiée de mes actions d'entretien, de perfectionnment et de sommeil. Belle réalisation qu'il ne faut pas rattacher à mes données propres même si elles sont renseignées dans le questionnaire d'analyse car il est externe et ne connaît pas la longueur de mon pas. Tout est extrapolé par calcul y compris les distances parcourues. Mais au bout du compte il vous donnera un ordre de grandeur suffisamment vraisemblable donc fiable pour qu'il vous serve de repère à l'instant ou il vous l'indique comme dans le rapport visuel qu'il donne de vos exercices lorsque vous vous connectez en fin de journée pour un résumé ou pour une analyse trés fine de votre activité physique.
