I bought the A360 unit directly from Polar when it was launched and I was impressed with how it made me aware of my inactivity when not exercising as well as my sleep patterns. While exercising the use of Polar Flow meant that it was a step up from H7 & Polar Beat since I was able to select from a wider range of CV equipment.
HOWEVER, what a waste of money it turned out to be: within weeks the strap split. It was replaced with a ‘newly designed strap’ that only addressed the faulty material. Polar failed to address the fact that the wristband has a tendency to come undone if your wrist is close to the moving arm of an Elliptical machine – something that you can only prevent by ONLY using the static handlebars.
So, if you want an activity tracker that is likely to fly across the gym, then this is the one for you. And, once you pause your exercise and retrieve it, make sure the A360 unit has not been dislodge for if it has and you don’t realise it, it alone with be launched through the air when you resume your exercise leaving the wristband firmly attached to your wrist.
If that isn’t enough, consider the fact that this is an ACTIVITY TRACKER and is meant to be worn all day – just don’t wear it on a vessel with metal hand rails, for when it pitches and yaws; and, you try to stay upright, your A360 like mine will end up at the bottom of the ocean.
