Polar activity tracker (watch) review

Exercise programs can never be successful until and unless you equip yourself with all the required things. This includes the fitness supplements and gadgets. As of late, gadgets have been playing a vital role in improving the efficacy of exercise programs. One such gadget is the Polar Activity Tracker watch. The Polar Activity Tracker is Polar’s new do-it-all fitness tracker that tracks all day fitness metrics, sleep duration, and exercise.

The tracker has a colored touch screen display. It is waterproof so you can wear it while swimming and in the shower. It is currently available only in a black and a white band option. However, there will be more color options released soon. Now, it is said that  the Polar Activity Tracker is one of the simplest touch screen fitness trackers available today, and in my experience, that’s definitely true. Also, it is the easiest and most intuitive touch screen fitness tracker that I have ever used.

The tracker even boasts a couple of smart watch features such as call and text notifications delivered right to your wrist. Now, this fitness tracker features a polar loop along with a rectangular elongated design, some chrome edges and an overall well-designed built quality. Furthermore, it is the first and only fitness tracker to use a standard USB charging port to charge the internal battery.

The band is comfortable as it is made out of a soft latex, rubbery material. One of the nice things about the design is that even if the band does wear out, you can easily replace it. You can also set this device up with your computer, be it PC or Mac. Additionally, you can set it up with your Smartphone too which is something most users would probably want to do.

The best features of this fitness wearable include the optical heart rate monitor, paired with a Bluetooth chest strap like the Polar H7. The bands have a nice, rippy texture on the inside which allows the optical heart rate sensor to sit on the wrist nicely and still to get accurate readings. The band is secured with a pin styled clasp and loop. Initially, I was concerned that the band would eventually become loose, but fortunately, that just did not happen.

The user interface of this device is pretty simple; you just push the button on the side and it will open up the watch menu which you can then just scroll down to set the training parameters. You need to select training and then select the type of workout you will be doing. While you are busy selecting the workout, the heart rate monitor begins to work in the background to acquire your heart rate.

The activity tracker band might be a little bit tighter than what you usually wear. However, it immediately comes alive and is the best optical heart rate monitor that you’ll find today. After every lift or high intensity interval training, you will be able to get quick and accurate results.

If you are someone who does any sort of lifting, any sort of high intensity interval training or cross fit exercises, then, in my opinion, the polar activity tracker will be a great watch choice for you.
