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

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

The Heartfelt "End of an Era" and Call to Action
Gosh, I thought I was the only one with a Polar addiction problem 🤠I also feel loyal to the brand, but hear you. I got an Ignite 3 recently (to help me through a marathon without worrying about battery issues (unlike my Apple Watch), but slightly does not deliver what I thought it would, and feel a

New watch?
You seem ok with the app. If so then Polar is a good choice. I’ve got the Ignite 3 and it’s a truly nice device. But it lives in my drawer at home as I absolutely can’t deal with the Polar Flow app. For me it’s outdated and considering how Polar moves in features and updates, I’d likely never see an

hey guys, what's the best "bang for your buck" running watch?
I use a Polar Ignite 3. Pretty good. HR monitoring accuracy beats Garmin and others. But you still do need the phone as Polar doesn’t have a Spotify app. Think there are Garmin models that have that.

Polar Ignite 3 - good purchase in 2024?
I use the Ignite 3 since 2 years and it is getting better with each firmware upgrade. 24/7HR plus 1 exercise session (without GPS) per day gets me 7-8 days battery life (up from 4-5 at the beginning). I love the detailed sleep report. Have added the Polar verity sense for biking, excellent pair. Hig
