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.

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

Question for Polar Loop

As the Polar Loop uses the Flow app, it is way behind Whoop in presentation, analysis, etc. That’s why all these people use Whoop as the standard. Sadly the Loop is barely in the game. Hopefully Polar itself remains in the game but already it’s well behind in its goals of updating Flow. Additionally

Brand Reputation Matters: My Polar vs Garmin Service Experience

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. This is easy to pick and choose faults to bas

Polar Ignite 3 battery drain + false % after latest update — anyone else?

My Ignite 3 had the same problem. I tried everything: restarted it, factory reset, recalibrated the battery, and nothing, it seems to have only gotten worse. Finally, I contacted Polar and sent it to technical support. I just received a quote of R$ 1,620 (US$ 300) for the repair: "MODULE PRESENTS LO

Polar Ignite 3 battery drain + false % after latest update — anyone else?

Die Ignite 3 meiner Frau hat das gleiche Problem, alles direkt nach dem Update, nach Kontakt mit Polar heißt es nur, Uhr einsenden, die machen einen Kostenvorschlag, ca 270€ für Reparatur, von einem Softwarefehler wollen die nichts wissen. Wäre nicht das erste Mal, dass bei einem Update ein Bug eing

Polar, still Polar in 2026

Glad you’re pleased with Flow. For me it is despicable! Why my Polar Ignite 3 remains in a drawer. A waste! Would never recommend nor buy Polar again unless the app is brought in from the Dark Ages.

New polar sports watch

The Ignite 3 is quite old at this point, over three years. I'd look into a third party seller that might be selling it discounted or wait for an Ignite 4. I'd probably get the Vantage M3. Its a bit of a mid-sized watch, fairly affordable, and has all of Polar's latest features.

Polar Street X looks imminent as FCC filing points to March 26 launch

The article mentions Pacer X as well, found in the Flow app but no mention of a release date. Due to not liking the style of most smartwatches, Ignite 3 Titanium is the only watch in the Polar line up that I would consider wearing, so I had been waiting for an Ignite 4 Titanium before committing to

I asked Polar about Flow redesign

That's great to hear! I hat a Fitbit versa, which i actually loved. But they changed the app and a lo of functionality got lost. After it was bought by Google it went further down the drain. I was actually looking at an Ignite 3 myself, so I think this thread further convinced me to go for Polar. Th
