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

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

Polar Vantage M3 vs Suunto Run/Race S

To be clear, I don't dislike Polar and I think much of my criticism comes from wanting them to do well as I really enjoyed their products when they introduced the VV1 on up to the Pacer series. I simply feel their product line has suffered since they released the Ignite 3, lacking any real value in

When are we gonna see phase 2 of the android app?

Ignite 3 countdown timer not functional any more either after its firmware update in spring. Polar aren't going to fix these imo, and if they do their indifference to customers who supported them is already obvious. It's starting to feel like they are in a death spiral... Or should I say a death Loo

Systemic syncing problem with iPhone, what's your solution?

I’ve never had the issue but not recently used a polar watch (had m430, v1, v2). My partner has this syncing issue with ignite 3. She had 2 different iphones during the years using ignite 3, both had same issues. Bluetooth connection works (usually) but syncing won’t finish. Factory reset is the onl

Vantage V3 failing to sync with Android 15 again

I have a similar problem with Ignite 3 and Android 16 :/ Probably this is really known problem to Polar because they have special instruction how to fix it, but it does not work for me.

Polar ignite 3 countdown broke after recent update?

Nope. I did contact them on the finish support site which is probably more connected to developers explaining why I got a pretty direct response. I have been following the support site for software updates while I consider getting another watch. 4.1.1 is the breaking update and you can see from it h

H10 stopped working and it won't connect anymore

Hi all, I am struggling here too and I can't figure it out!! I struggled the first time to get my H10 to pair with my Polar Ignite 3, and after 1000 tries, i was able to do it, but it was very painful. Polar Ignite 3 just had a recent firmware update, my sensor connects fine to Polar app and Polar b
