amazon Polar A360 reviews
Design
At a glance, the design of the Polar A360 has the same wear and tear as the Samsung Gear Fit, which possesses high-quality rubber and durability as most of the equipment has ever marketed.
A360 has three straps to wear (S / M / L), so you do not have to worry about missing shorts after wearing them; choose the right size for you.
Lightweight helps us wear the A360 comfortably, but its locking pin is unstable, especially easy to lose when sleeping.
Although the screen resolution is only 80 x 160, fortunately, the user interface design is quite simple and friendly has saved the situation.
The screen’s brightness is standard, but not adjustable, but easy to read in the hot sun and night.
Very responsive, worth the money we pay for this.
Polar also offers various watch faces (horizontal and vertical display) for users to choose.
The earliest tracking watch in the world
On the left, a button to turn the screen on/off; press and hold to connect with Polar H7 heartbeat.
In addition, the screen can be detached from the strap easily, convenient for cleaning when the rubber material is quite dusty.
Although the heart rate monitor does not work well in the water, with the 30m depth, you can still use the A360 for swimming, bathing – which is the least of the fitness tracker series other do in the market today.
Smartphone notifications
Like the Polar Loop and Loop 2, the A360 supports displaying messages from the iPhone and Android phones.
Compatibility Standards:
iPhone 4S onwards
Android devise with Bluetooth 4.0 or Android 4.3 onwards
The A360 will display messages, emails, schedules, and notifications from third-party applications.
However, since the screen area is limited, we can not see the entire message on the bracelet.
Occasionally, the A360 malfunction causes the messages/appointments you have viewed/deleted to appear again.
And sometimes, the message notification feature is delayed, easily distracting, or annoying.
Battery capacity
Battery capacity is an impressive highlight of the Polar A360, at least on paper, with a 100mAh battery promising two weeks of use.
However, in reality, these two weeks only come to fruition when you use the A360 as a wristwatch for everyday activities, as well as off smartphone notification mode.
With full heart rate and intelligence, we have only five to six days before charging again.
Activity Tracking
Polar A360 will record:
Step
Distance (based on stepped data)
Time to move
The number of calories burned
Automatic sleep monitoring
You can see the above data in the My Day section on the device.
In the Polar Flow application, the data will be analyzed and broken down into categories:
Resting
Sitting
Operates at Low, Medium, and High
By doing so, you will know that you exercise less / more or just enough to change your lifestyle towards healthier.
However, the Polar A360 data can only be saved per day, so you must synchronize it to the Polar Flow application for later review.
To view your daily campaign goals, you can tap on the My Day section to get tips for improving your health, such as:
Jump for 20 minutes
1 hour of walking
In addition, the A360 also encourages frequent use by gentle vibration announcements every 55 minutes, when it senses that we are sitting too long, preventing cardiovascular disease and bone in the long run.
In a nutshell, the accuracy and efficiency of the Polar A360’s performance data record are impressive and reliable.
Heart rate monitoring
Polar’s first health watch bracelet has an optical rhythm sensor, so this feature is not perfect; it has pros and cons.
Advantages:

Defect:
Heart rate is not measured quickly and continuously 24/7.
Uncompleted accuracy with TomTom Spark or Polar H7.

Heart rate is not measured in water.
Polar Flow exclusive application
