NEW YORK, August 04, 2015 /PRNewswire-iReach/ --
Consumer-electronics company Prong made global headlines with its
iPhone cases that feature built-in A/C adapters for convenient
charging. Following the success of gadgets like the PWR Case, which
comes with a detachable battery pack, Prong has announced plans to
develop an Apple Watch charger and a similar device for the Pebble
Watch.

Prong keeps iPhone owners up to date on the latest electronic
accessories. Recently, tech headlines have been abuzz about the
release of the Polar Loop 2, an activity tracker that synchronizes
with third-party applications, such as Apple Health, MyFitnessPal
and Google Fit.
According to Prong, the original Loop was met with lukewarm
reviews. However, the device was still popular within the
smart-fitness industry and was a standout competitor with the
Fitbit and Jawbone UP.
However, that was at least two years ago, and competition has
grown fiercer. The Loop's most appealing characteristic was its
simplicity, which continues into its latest version, the Loop
2.
You will not find any distinguishing marks on the Loop 2,
besides the company's embossed logo and the LEDs that make up the
dot-matrix display. The logo runs along the edge, and two metal
contacts monitor heart rate – that is all. Nonetheless, the Loop 2
offers several improvements over its predecessor.
The Loop 2's outer band is composed of polyurethane material and
soft silicon for comfort, but the band still contains the steel
buckle from the original Loop. The device has a vibrating engine to
alert users of lengthy inactivity, phone notifications and alarms.
It also contains an array of sensors to track activity. The Loop 2
measures distance, calories, steps taken and sleep.
In a much-welcomed change, the Loop 2 is not housing fitness
data in its own software, unlike other fitness trackers and the
original Loop. The band will synchronize with third-party
applications, which makes user data more secure and accessible.
The Polar Loop 2 launched this month in two new colors, white
and pink, and its silicon material makes it very comfortable to
wear. The black PU band will be available in September. Fitness
enthusiasts can expect to pay $120
for the Loop 2, which is $10 more
than the previous version.
