Goodbye food tracking, hello fitness motivation
Polar Balance is a whole service to help make your weight management journey a happy and successful one. Follow these easy steps and celebrate your balanced lifestyle.
1. Weigh yourself and set a goal
Weight management doesn’t get any simpler than this. Use the scale to weigh yourself regularly. Your Polar device then stores your weight and talks to the free Flow app. Set your personal goal in Flow web service, and we'll get you there.
2. Get personalized guidance
Don't know how to start? The Flow app offers you motivational guidance on how to reach your daily activity goal. The best way to lose weight is to burn off more calories than you consume, so 60 % of the excess calories should be cut from your diet and 40 % should be burned with activity. The Flow app will guide you along the way.
3. Get active with your Polar
Take on your next challenge with your Polar device. It's like a personal trainer on your wrist. Set a personal goal, work until you achieve it, and then move onto the next, with support and encouragement at every step.
4. Follow your progress on the Flow app
The service will keep track of your weight and notify you of changes over time. Your Polar device will then adapt your activity goal to best fit your weight goal, and keep you motivated to reach it. Get insights on your activity and see the progress you’ve made. Celebrate your new, balanced lifestyle!

Polar Balance in media
“There are several options for wireless scales, but Polar takes it further with personalized guidance, weight trends, and motivational status plots.”
“Polar has unveiled a new smart scale to complement its line of activity trackers…The system then sends that information to your Polar fitness band or the Polar Flow app (iOS/Android). Over time, Balance will learn your fitness habits and provide personal feedback to help you lose weight.”
“The Polar Flow app has something called the Weight Loss Speedometer, to show you how quickly you're losing, or gaining, weight. You don't even have to do anything. You just step on the scale, and it sends your weight to an app.”
“The one really promising aspect of this is the Weight Loss Speedometer, a diagram that'll tell you if you're really working towards your goals. The key value of the Polar Balance here is that, as we said, it syncs up with your existing Polar activity tracker, which will then prompt the Polar software to recommend tips on how to keep your weight loss goals..”
”The $99 Polar Balance wants to give you a new way to manage your diet and exercise. The scale can do more than just measure your weight, and may actually be able to help you shed some of that holiday excess.”
”The Polar Balance/Flow system works well, and if you have a Polar device – then I really see no problems with it. Plus, I think what Polar is doing around personalized goals is definitely interesting and worthy of a deeper dive once it’s ready.”
”Officially announced at CES 2016, the Balance works as a standalone scale but can also be used with Polar's fitness trackers and sports watches along with its Polar Flow app and web service to closely monitor weight and exercise…”
”Polar Balance isn't just a weighing scale as it offers much more data for the user, in conjunction with other Polar hardware and software options. The scale works with the Weight Loss Speedometer in Polar Flow which shows, at a glance, how a person's efforts to shift some weight is going. The scales also offer motivational goal updates and encourage healthy eating.”
”…what you get is that secret sauce combination of fitness tracking and weight metrics, so the system can go to work recommending courses of action to help you get the weight down.”
”All you have to do is put your goal weight in the app, and you will receive feedback on what you have to do to achieve that goal. Your weight will automatically be sent into the cloud for you to track easier. This makes it a lot easier to track your progression over time. If you are serious about weight loss and getting in shape, the Polar Balance may be for you.”

”…instead of just showing you your weight, the Polar Balance is also able to provide motivational feedback, like providing the user with user-specific weight loss advice, such as increasing your daily activity or decreasing the number of calories that you consume.”
”It will then keep track of all your activities…and even give you practical advice and motivational feedback.”
”What sounds neat about the Polar Balance is that the Flow app can use your activity levels along with your weight details to help you maintain, lose, or gain weight.”
