Polar Announces Whoop Competitor with no subscription
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.

Looking for Best Health smartwatch ≤ 46mm under $500 – mainly gym, sleep, stress, recovery
Polar is considered among the better of mediocre bunch when it comes to sleep tracking and the recovery tools (orthostatic test, leg recovery test, nightly recharge) are state-of-the-art. Definitely better than Suunto and I'd wager better than Garmin as well (though there are more recovery-related f

I own the ignite 3 because it is barely noticeable when being worn. That is a pro for me especially at night. I did try garmin before and polar gives me more usable values while garmin just throws numbers at the user. (In connect+ and the watch). On the other hand other people think the polar UI (we

Software update?
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.

Polar remains financially stable, but its equity ratio has fallen from 75% to 45% in three years.
All that reflects is people seem willing to pay those prices. As we all know, Garmin is really on a roll. Polar is anemic to the extent it doesn’t seem to get out regular software updates, new products. The Loop is a rehash of an earlier business offering with key software issues. So sorry but Polar

What is wrong with Polar Flow in your opinion?
Quite dated. Don’t like Polar Flow app at all. Do love the Ignite 3 though the experience diminished because of the UI.

Longtime Whoop User Here This Is How They Can Still Win Us Back late
I’ve had accuracy from Whoop. Matches my Polar Ignite 3. Love the Polar device, hate living in 2015 via the app.

First time running 30min
Thanks! It's the Polar Flow app and it does need a watch as far as I know. I use the Polar Ignite 3, which I'm pretty happy with at the moment. My data also syncs to Strava automatically.

Welche Laufuhr verwendet ihr?
Ich benutze eine Polar ignite 3, davor hatte ich das Vorgängermodell und davor dessen Vorgängermodell. Sie kann keine eigene Musik abspielen, das Handy muss man also dafür mitnehmen. Das wäre mein einziges Manko. Sonst bin ich super zufrieden. Ich trage die Uhren 24/7 und ziehe sie nur zum Aufladen

For those who used Polar and now have Coros
I'm not a Coros owner, but I did use Polar products for 6 years since the launch of the Vantage V1. I can confirm that Polar is slow to innovate (they truly aren't in the past 5 years) and their app is so, so incredibly dated. The feature-set they offer is often poor value as the competition will of
