a.
I've also tested the parallel Vivofit of Garmin. While this bracelet must not be shortened, but far more annoying (especially caused the Vivofit within minutes an itch. I'm actually allergic to anything. Only Garmin plastic and I will probably no longer friends).
The reason is that I "slip" in the metal clip just as in the band and it fits. Sure, the bands are waterproof. I have it but would prefer if the tape does not mitbadet. And the other bands are still compress awkward every time. The metal clip is as effective.
-> I would discounts for 10 EUR more for the Loop output when the metal clip for this would be a bissl quality. Important: it is already good, but as an accessory I could also imagine a slightly better buckle.
b.
The software flow is not connected to the relevant portals. The sleep evaluation is somewhat coarse. But the band really responds to movement getting the sleep. Just like the Polar will hold in the long run, to send data to MyFitnessPal etc is beyond me.
c.
Really great work the tape when it is connected to the chest strap H7. The Trainigsauswertung is just great and really fun. This saves the heart rate monitor and is really motivated.
d.
The synchronization with the mobile phone and the PC is really well resolved. Other bands need a dongle and what I know.
e.
The battery life is absolutely fine. For me, the band with Bluetooth etc. and continuous operation keeps 4-5 days.
f.
My wish: a cross between a polar loop, Garmin Vivofit and Withings. The permanent display of Garmin. The Synchro and compatibility of Polar and the shortcut to the portals of Withings.
g.
Finally, the accuracy of the measurements. Here the band convinced absolutely with realistic messages
