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

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

Abandoning polar ☹️

My first Polar was FT4 (2013) and then I've had M400, M430, A360, Vantage M, Pacer, Pacer Pro and now Ignite 3. I jumped to Garmin for a month few years ago (FR245) and then back to Polar. I guess I'm staying with Polar, I didn't like Garmin app and everything was soooo complicated. 😅

Polar vs Garmin watches (current Whoop user)

Had Garmin FR 45, 245, 255 & 165 and while the fitness monitoring was excellent the sleep tracking was pretty bad. Love sleep tracking on my Polar Ignite 3 and also its monitoring of activities. However, the Polar Flow app and website are outdated. All the information is on one or the other but the
