Hi everyone,

Just wanted to post that an update was released. At least there was for me when I went to charge my loop this morning.

    Yikes. Make sure you sync before you update it though. It erased all my data from last night.

    So far my Loop seems to be pretty accurate. I also have a WIthings Pulse, and they are within 65 steps of each other. I will see how it goes, but so far have enjoyed the Loop. Looking forward to getting the H7 HR Monitor.

    Been using the loop for 6 months or so now, works really well couple of things though.

    Using whilst riding a motorcycle sends it out of kilter easy to 50k steps in 2 hrs :)

    The heart rate monitor is difficult to use whilst in training.

    It made a HUGE difference once I got my H7. Just walking I have to hit about 17,000 steps. But when I work out with the HR monitor I have to take significantly less steps.

    Really? That's interesting, you're arm isn't moving so I wonder how it's detecting steps. I've never been on a bike, does a vibrate a lot or something?

    Can I ask why you feel the monitor is difficult to use while training? Does it drop the connection a lot?

    Its the quick acceleration & relatively quick changes of direction.
