As the wearable industry matures, devices that were originally designed to do only one thing well are having to bring something else to the table. For the fitness-focused Polar Loop 2, that’s notifications – although iOS has had this functionality for awhile, Polar has just announced that its smart notifications are now available on Android, offering vibration and scrolling notification text on the device’s LED display.
To take advantage of the update, Polar Loop 2 owners will have to sync up with the Polar Flowsync app where you’ll need to configure your Android device to push its notifications to the Loop 2. This is a nifty add-on feature, giving the Loop 2 a whole new dimension beyond being just used for workouts and tracking your daily steps. To best display your notifications, the Polar Loop 2 has 85 LED lights embedded in its band, allowing for relatively useful information to be displayed on your wrist, and isn’t too expensive given what it offers at $119.95 USD – available in pink, white, or the recently released black version. If any of these interest you, you can find out more on Polar.com.
