Polar Loop strap alternative use.

I had a few extra leftover straps from my Loop so my Street X inherited one. Should work beautifully with any watch that takes 22 mm straps. They're also half the price of Polar's actual nylon watch strap (which may or may not be worth the price hike).

Best efforts?

Is there really no way to see my best efforts anywhere in Polar Flow? Like my best 5K, 10K, Half, Marathon, longest distance etc.

Change default activity for automatic tracking.

I have already sent this as a suggestion to Polar but thought I'd share it here as well. I only ever use my Polar Loop to automatically track one activity: running (and sometimes longer walks but I really don't care about those). I doubt I'm the only one with this use case, therefore I suggest an interim solution to the sub par automatic activity tracking:

Let us change default activity for automatic tracking so that when the Loop detects activity it registers it as the pre-defined one (i.e. running in my case) rather than the "Other Indoor" activity.

This way we wouldn't have to go to the Flow web platform to change things and I'm certain we would also get more valuable metrics recorded as it already knows what activity we're doing?

Importing run data to Google Health

Does anyone have experience with this? Does Google Health take your cardio load etc from Polar activities into account when calculating things such as recovery and daily readiness?

Let's just pretend these congregated metrics Google Health spits out are valuable so we don't have to get into how I should just look at my ANS score in Polar Flow.

Anyone tried it around their ankle?

As the title reads. I know it isn't supported and I will likely get subpar HR data but I'm curious and realised that I can wear the longer band around my ankle so figured I'll give it a go. For science etc. Anyone else tried this and what was your impression with activity & sleep tracking, hr & recovery and how long did you try it?
