Ignite 3

As a casual user, I like polar. Software is simple in my eyes, hardware is good and has no monthly subscriptions, which is a big plus. Polar also replaced my ignite 3 after the battery failed under warranty without a fuss. European brand, Finnish to be exact. All in all I think Polar is doing good b

Loved the devices but software totally overlooked. Ditched my Ignite 3 though I loved the look of the device. But the Ignite 3 and Polar Flow didn’t do enough. Really a sad situation.

I've been using a polar watch for years, it's perfect. I currently have an ignite 3, it looks much better on a skinny woman's wrist than any garmin. I use the H10 HRM for training, it's flawless. It's European and much cheaper than the garmin.

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 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

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.

Hopefully it heralds an update and more comprehensive presentation in the Polar app. Otherwise likely DOA. And I hope that’s not the case as I like my Polar Ignite 3 but hate the dated look of how information is presented.

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 Polar flow app for both Android and iOS remains outdated.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.

It's hard to say what Polar spends their software engineering time on, but firmware is definitely not a priority. Especially note that the features released months ago in January won't show until Q3 for the M3 an Ignite 3. And that's just Polar artifically gating sofware by sku.
