Need help for my first watch

Polar Ignite is still perfectly fine as a software machine, but there are 2 buts... 1) Buying such an old used device you risk battery life to be 1-2 days pretty soon and it's not replaceable; 2) If you're serious about tracking your fitness, some external device like a Verity Sense or H9, H10 chest

Polar vantage v4 or new line?

Polar have some really outdated product lines. The fitness series of Unite and Ignite and the Pacer series are getting extremely long in their tooths.They might be cheap to produce but keeping multiple platforms of hardware and software is not efficient. I would guess that we will see some changes t

Kas kannad igapäevaselt käekella? Tavalist või nuti/spordikella? Pange nt kommentaariumisse, et mis kella või miks vms (sest no tavalise kella puhul nt see, et telo ju kogu aeg olemas).

Garmin Forerunner 970 kannan 24/7 enda aktiivsuse ja sporditegevuste mõõtmiseks. Alustasin kunagi Polar Ignite seeria spordikellaga, siis tekkis rumal tahtmine moodsa nutikella peale üle minna ja otsin Samsung Galaxy Watchi. Üsna kiiresti sain aru, et mul ei ole 90% sellest "nutikusest" vaja ning ig

New Polar smartwatch leaks via FCC as Polar Street X

Exactly! We got our watches for tracking fitness only. We don't use the "smart" features that let you control music, make phone calls, etc.. A basic fitness watch would work for many people. We used the Unite for a few years and liked it. As they started to slow down and not charge so great I looked

The Heartfelt "End of an Era" and Call to Action

Gosh, I thought I was the only one with a Polar addiction problem 🤭 I also feel loyal to the brand, but hear you. I got an Ignite 3 recently (to help me through a marathon without worrying about battery issues (unlike my Apple Watch), but slightly does not deliver what I thought it would, and feel a

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

What happened to Polar?

Late to the game here. What did you buy? Brand new to the world of fitness watches. I'm miserly, yet particular. Polar was the only option that cut the mustard. I thought garmin was pretty impressive in online summaries. As someone who doesn't care too much about accessory aesthetics, I wouldn't tou

Help me choose -- Polar Vantage M3 vs Coros Pace Pro

New battery for the m430 (can be found on Amazon or AliExpress) and a friend or shop capable of handling small electronics to change it for you (it's not hard for someone with those skills, literally unscrew, open, remove (pop loose) 2 metal plates from a plastic holder, take off and resolder new ba

Considering a polar watch for workouts.

I would go for the Grit X2 (latest, just a bit more expensive than the M3). Polar watches have the same OS, so the only difference will be design, materials (for sturdiness go for the Grit X2), weight and battery life. For premium feel and long battery life go for the V3 or Grit X Pro. Pacer is old,
