Polar, a leading name in sports wearables, has officially launched its Polar Loop fitness tracking band in the Indian market. The device, notable for operating without any mandatory subscription, is now available for purchase at a price of Rs 19,999. This launch, announced on December 5, 2025, introduces a screenless, lightweight option for consumers seeking continuous health monitoring.
Key Features and Design Philosophy
The Polar Loop is designed as a discreet, screenless smartband intended for 24/7 wear. It focuses on tracking daily activity, sleep patterns, and overall health metrics. A significant selling point is its subscription-free model, which contrasts with competitors like Oura. Users get every feature with a one-time purchase, with no locked content behind recurring payments.
Weighing a mere 29 grams including its wristband, the band prioritizes comfort. It features a lightweight textile strap with a buckle. The case and bezel are constructed from stainless steel, housing Polar's Precision Prime optical heart rate sensor and an accelerometer.
Performance and Connectivity
In terms of battery life, the Polar Loop can last up to 8 days in smartwatch mode on a single charge. Charging is done via a proprietary USB-C cable. The device comes with a standard 2-year warranty for added consumer confidence.
Core fitness tracking capabilities include:
- Step counting
- Sleep analysis
- Continuous heart rate monitoring
It pairs with a smartphone via Bluetooth through the Polar Flow app. This app unlocks advanced functionalities such as route recording, voice guidance, customizable training targets, manual workout logging, and automatic data sync.
Data Management and Availability
Polar emphasizes user control over personal data. The Loop can store up to four weeks of data locally without needing to sync with a phone. Furthermore, the company's data storage policy allows users to view, export, or permanently delete their information at any time.
The Polar Loop is offered in three color variants: Greige Sand, Night Black, and Brown Copper. It is currently available for sale on Amazon India and Polar's official website. For those looking to customize, additional wristbands can be purchased separately for Rs 1,999 each.
This launch positions the Polar Loop as a compelling alternative in the crowded fitness wearable space, particularly for users wary of ongoing subscription costs. Its focus on core tracking, extended battery life, and data privacy offers a distinct value proposition for the Indian fitness enthusiast.
