Need help for my first watch

Polar Ignite is still perfectly fine as a software machine, but there are 2 buts... 1) Buying such an old used device you risk battery life to be 1-2 days pretty soon and it's not replaceable; 2) If you're serious about tracking your fitness, some external device like a Verity Sense or H9, H10 chest

I am new to Polar, very disappointed. What am I missing?

No idea if I'm representative but this is my story... in 2020 COVID lockdowns led to me taking up cycling I live in a hilly place, there is lots of data to track I wanted a watch that was not massive, reasonably priced, and would track rides without needing a bike computer it came down to Polar and

Polar Flow app version 7.35.1 for Android

Polar should definitely consider whether their method of transferring data to Polar Flow should be completely changed. The problem occurs from time to time and it seems that only FlowSync can fix it, but Polar intends to discontinue FlowSync. What then? Every now and then I have to resort to FlowSyn

Question for Polar Loop

As the Polar Loop uses the Flow app, it is way behind Whoop in presentation, analysis, etc. That’s why all these people use Whoop as the standard. Sadly the Loop is barely in the game. Hopefully Polar itself remains in the game but already it’s well behind in its goals of updating Flow. Additionally

Brand Reputation Matters: My Polar vs Garmin Service Experience

I wouldn't consider that bragging about Garmin support or products. I'd consider that bragging about a user who consistently pushed support for several days and finally got them to agree to replace it. Good on the user, not so good on the vendor support. This is easy to pick and choose faults to bas

Polar vantage v4 or new line?

Polar have some really outdated product lines. The fitness series of Unite and Ignite and the Pacer series are getting extremely long in their tooths.They might be cheap to produce but keeping multiple platforms of hardware and software is not efficient. I would guess that we will see some changes t

Kas kannad igapäevaselt käekella? Tavalist või nuti/spordikella? Pange nt kommentaariumisse, et mis kella või miks vms (sest no tavalise kella puhul nt see, et telo ju kogu aeg olemas).

Garmin Forerunner 970 kannan 24/7 enda aktiivsuse ja sporditegevuste mõõtmiseks. Alustasin kunagi Polar Ignite seeria spordikellaga, siis tekkis rumal tahtmine moodsa nutikella peale üle minna ja otsin Samsung Galaxy Watchi. Üsna kiiresti sain aru, et mul ei ole 90% sellest "nutikusest" vaja ning ig

New Polar smartwatch leaks via FCC as Polar Street X

Exactly! We got our watches for tracking fitness only. We don't use the "smart" features that let you control music, make phone calls, etc.. A basic fitness watch would work for many people. We used the Unite for a few years and liked it. As they started to slow down and not charge so great I looked

Switching to Polar — app worries me

All kind of rumors last year new look was coming out for Android before end of 2025 with an update for iOS following in 2026. Polar never really said anything that I saw. Polar flow app for both Android and iOS remains outdated. My Ignite 3 remains desk bound as a result. Rocking Garmin again.

Polar fitness watch recommendations for women

I'm a woman with small wrists, and I really like the Polar Ignite 3. It is small, thin front-to-back, and lightweight. I don't need something as dainty as the Garmin Lily 2 - I just need something that doesn't feel big and heavy and clunky. I didn't have a great fit with the Polar Pacer Pro because
