Polar Balance

The scale is technically unnecessary except that without it, you can’t access the balance feature of the Polar Flow website. Once I synced my first reading to my watch (M430) and then my watch to the app, all my previous manually entered weight entries were available in the newly unlocked “balance” section of the site.Note on the scale - make sure the Polar Flow app is closed on your phone or else your watch will try to sync with that instead of the scale. Otherwise using it is straightforward. Your watch will tell you if it worked. And the scale will agree by reading “ok”.Unexpectedly, the unlocked software corrected an issue I was having with the watch. The issue is that because of medication I take, my heart rate is higher than might be expected for someone of my age, etc. Therefore even on level 3 I was easily getting 150-300% of my daily activity goal. But since the Balance program looks at your weight goal as a calories in vs calories out problem, it adjusted the daily activity goal to be appropriate for me. Now I have to work to get to 100%, but it’s achievable. Exactly as it should be.If your goal is weight loss, the program calculates the daily calorie deficit you need. It assumes you will cut, say, 60% of them from your diet and 40% from increasing your activity. If you don’t track your calories (it works with My Fitness Pal) it still works. Because if you are maintaining or gaining weight while meeting your activity goal, clearly you need to look at your food. And so on. This is good for someone like me who can’t count calories without exacerbating eating disorder issues.The jury is out (at least according to me) as to whether this program is healthy for people with eating disorders like BED. But if you don’t have an ED and are trying to lose weight then this software is nice when paired with all the other features on the site. The scale is a scale.The software unlock is what makes it valuable. Not the Bluetooth syncing.

It's a scale, it weighs you. It's also Bluetooth so it sends your weight to your phone, if you manage to get it setup properly. I hear this is pretty easy to sync if you tether this scale to a polar fitness watch, but if you don't have a polar fitness watch to tether it too, well, you're in a for a treat and some hoops to jump through. After wasting plenty of time trying to figure out how to get this scale to sync without the use of a polar fitness watch, I went to the web to search for instructions. After a brief search on polars support site, I found what I was looking for, a way to sync to your phone without a polar fitness watch. It seems in order to do this, you have to first create an account the polar flow web site, then from there you tell it that you have a polar balance scale and enter your serial number for it. after that, you have to download the polar flow app to your phone and log in and let it sync with the polar flow website. once it syncs, it will bring down the polar balance scale to your flow app and THEN you will be able to sync your balance to your phone without the use of a fitness watch. Only caveat is that you have to open the flow app, then go to the 'balance" link in the menu and from there you hit the like icon of scale and it'll then say it's waiting for your scale to sync. you then step on the polar balance scale and it'll then sync to the flow app.Another way to do it is if you have a Samsung phone and you use the s-health app. You can add the polar balance as an accessory and when you step on the scale, it will sync your weight to the s-health app. sometimes you have to have the app open and on the weight page and sometimes you don't. it's strange how it works. most of the time the polar balance will just sync immediately to my s-health app without me having to open it, but not always.other than the hoops I had to jump through to get it to sync without a polar watch, it seems to work well enough at least. I took 1 star off because of the pain I went through trying to figure out how to sync without the watch, other than that, I like the scale. Would be nice if it did more than just weight and if it was wifi, but oh well, I got it during the black Friday sale so I can't complain about the lack of features.

I use this scale with a Polar Loop to update my weight via Bluetooth. I step on the scale until it beeps, press the button on the Polar Loop, and after the LEDs fade, the "weight updated" display then appears. When the watch is synched to your phone, tablet, or computer, the data will transfer to Polar flow.Pros:1. Seems to give accurate weight2. Works directly with my Polar Loop. I have no experience with any other device, but have read that the scale will sync to a phone or tablet directly to Polar Flow under the "Scale" tab.3. Cosmetically appealing device.4. displays pounds or kilograms5. Works with iOS or Android.Cons1. Sometimes I have to hold my arm closer to the scale to sync. Holding the watch at chest level does not work for me, so I hold my arm about hip level to update weight.2. Weight updates are displayed on the Polar Loop watch as kilograms regardless of using imperial settings on the scale and Polar Flow app. Weight still shows up as pounds on the scale and the app. Not really an issue for me, but I thought I would mention it.Overall I am happy with this product.

works seamlessly with my other Polar products

polar flowと連携して自分お体重管理にができます。A360などと連携すると良いです。ちょっと、計測の仕方がわかりにくいです。自分は携帯電話を利用して計測を行っています。A360でもできるのですがうまいこと体重計の情報を取得ができません。できるときもありますが携帯電話と、A360が接続されてしまうからなのかなぁ。その辺改善してもらえればいいですね。

Ich gehöre zu den Mitvierzigern und Freizeitsportlern, die sich mit Trainingsequipments wie Pulsuhr und Trainings- App motivieren und Spaß an der Bewegung und der späteren Trainingsauswertung haben. Zur Polar - Uhr M 400 eine durchaus sinnvolle Ergänzung. Das morgendliche Wiegen wird zwischen Waage und Uhr synchronisiert und später mit Android zum Webserver abgeglichen.Mann muss es nicht haben, das Wiegen geht sicherlich auch günstiger, aber wenn man es hat, macht es Spaß!Die Verarbeitung, Optik und Qualität der Waage ist gut, die Gewichtsmessung genau. Klare Kaufempfehlung am alle, die sich täglich motivieren wollen.

Super produit et très motivant pour ceux qui veulent perdre du poids, je recommande ce produit à tout ceux qui sont motiver pour perdre du poids
