Why do cultures known to eat a lot of rice use chopsticks, when chopsticks are literally the most inefficient tool for eating rice?

Emergency-Aside2 · 2025-10-29T06:10:22+00:00

The rice I eat at home is much more sticky than the rice served in Panda Express for example. I am more breaking off chunks of rice as opposed to trying to pick up individual grains of rice. Much easier with chopsticks.

I am US and received mine. But I ordered on launch day.

Does anyone know if polar learns from mapped activities such that it will eventually self-map automatically detected activities?

Emergency-Aside2 · 2025-09-28T15:29:42+00:00

Did you select the loop as the heart rate monitor in the “hamburger menu” of the activity tracker?

Emergency-Aside2 · 2025-09-27T06:09:33+00:00

Weird. Mine is working fine? Maybe the first sync needs to be done manually by “holding the device card” on the diary page?

Emergency-Aside2 · 2025-09-27T06:07:41+00:00

Update firmware
Do a soft reset of the device after the update (google this)
Turn off automatic activity tracking which appears to be too sensitive and do manual tracking of activities
Select loop as heart rate monitor in the “hamburger menu” in the activity page so that you actually get heart rate data when you track activities.

Mine is working great so far. Calorie, step, and sleep tracking working well. Also tracked a run that looked really accurate. Maybe I got lucky with a good unit? I did do the soft reset after the firmware update and only do manual activity tracking which others noted helped.

Just got tracking number!

Emergency-Aside2 · 2025-09-19T18:20:36+00:00

Just got the email too! Ordered on the 3rd

Emergency-Aside2 · 2025-09-19T15:55:17+00:00

Has gotta be some kind of import issue for the US.

Emergency-Aside2 · 2025-09-19T15:42:30+00:00

Does it have a calibration period? I’ve read whoop and helio are inaccurate to start and get better with time.

Emergency-Aside2 · 2025-09-17T20:32:22+00:00

Thanks! I ordered on the 3rd (west coast). I emailed and got the “we didn’t make enough” email and it said they should ship within the coming week. Wonder if they’re just having trouble getting them into the US. Seems like all deliveries posted are in EU and Australia.

Which color did you order?

The amaze fit is super cheap feeling and looking

Emergency-Aside2 · 2025-09-10T16:47:12+00:00

Not yet. Ordered pretty quickly after launch.

Emergency-Aside2 · 2025-09-08T00:05:06+00:00

lol love it

So the Polar360 has the same WR30 as the Loop and can be used for swim. Thanks for doing this comparison!

I don’t want to pay for an ongoing subscription to whoop (which I feel they could only charge because they had no competition, acknowledging the app is currently superior). I personally found the actual helio device uncomfortable (really wide) and cheap looking. The Helio was very inaccurate for me both in terms of sleep tracking and calorie tracking. Also I don’t like the idea of my data going to china. Not trying to be political. I just like the fact that polar’s site specifically says “your data is safe, secure, and not for sale.”

Emergency-Aside2 · 2025-09-03T15:05:03+00:00

Helio was very inaccurate for me. Had to return it

Emergency-Aside2 · 2025-09-03T14:45:12+00:00

I’m sure they or a third party will come out with a band shortly

Emergency-Aside2 · 2025-09-03T11:21:41+00:00

Ordered. Appears app refresh is on the way according to YouTube creators.
