Polar A360 Review

This is the first Polar’s fitness tracker and they aimed for a high-tech device with a lot of high-end features. It offers a heart rate monitor included along with your own personal coach which will help you achieve your daily and long-term goals. It’s also waterproof and it can track the distance your covered, calories you burned, and the quality of your sleep.

Pros / What Customers Like:

  • The band is waterproof and it’s great to see just how a device like this performs in the swimming pool.
  • The companion app for iPhone and Android will track your daily activities and display them neatly for you, in details.
  • The band comes with a heart rate monitor included; a great touch for people looking to get the most out of their fitness tracker.
  • Customers have reported that they managed to pair with a lot of third-party apps and improve their experience.
  • It provides a sufficient battery life which depends on what functions you are going to use.

Cons / What Customers Don't Like:

  • When compared to other similar bands, its heart rate monitor seems a bit off from the competition.
  • Customers have reported that the wristband can be easily torn.
  • Unfortunately, there is no GPS tracking and the device relies solely on step counting.

Verdict:

First of all, developing a high-tech gadget like this one requires a lot of time and effort. The Polar A360 offers a lot of different functions but it sometimes fails to display and showcase them properly. Polar could have done a much better job with this fitness tracker if they made it sturdier and if they included a GPS tracker to help you get the distance you cover accurately. The heart rate monitor is a good touch but customers have reported that the results they receive are nowhere as accurate as they should be.
