Polar - the future or perhaps just the past?

Loved the devices but software totally overlooked. Ditched my Ignite 3 though I loved the look of the device. But the Ignite 3 and Polar Flow didn’t do enough. Really a sad situation.

Polar Flow app version 7.35.1 for Android

Polar should definitely consider whether their method of transferring data to Polar Flow should be completely changed. The problem occurs from time to time and it seems that only FlowSync can fix it, but Polar intends to discontinue FlowSync. What then? Every now and then I have to resort to FlowSyn

Switching to Polar — app worries me

All kind of rumors last year new look was coming out for Android before end of 2025 with an update for iOS following in 2026. Polar never really said anything that I saw. Polar flow app for both Android and iOS remains outdated. My Ignite 3 remains desk bound as a result. Rocking Garmin again.

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.

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

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

Buying tips - replacing a polar?

I moved from Polar Ignite 3 to Suunto Run. I am very happy. I feel it was a great upgrade. But for sleep analysis I think Polar was better.

Watch recommendations

Any reason you're not considering Suunto's chest HRM? Either way, have you considered just tracking your climbing with a chest HRM? That way you won't have to ding up your watch. I don't see the point in climbing with a watch either way—increased risk of injury and none of the data the watch will pr

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
