The Polar Loop 2 is a great fitness band for you if you want to focus on improving your fitness with a simple, stylish and hassle free fitness band that doesn’t distract you with unnecessary nick-nacks found on more complex fitness bands.
It’s not exactly classy — it’s a plastic band, after all — but it’s downright gorgeous compared to the Polar A300.

The LED display on the Polar Loop 2 is, well, ok. It gets the job done so long as you’re not in direct sunlight. Even light shade has a tendency to wash out the brightness, forcing you to hover a cupped hand over your wrist.
The most disappointing thing I have to point out is that visibility under strong sunlight is pathetic, at least for the white version I had.

I spent probably around 45 mins unclipping the clasp on both sides, measuring my wrist, cutting back each side of the band, re-clipping the clasp and trying it on. If it was still too big, you would have to do the process all over again.
