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

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

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

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

First ever issue on a Polar Watch (Ignite 3) - Battery acts weird

Replacement watch

Seriously though, what would you say to convince me to stick with Polar? I've got an original Ignite that requires daily charging. Strongly considering Garmin or Amazfit because I'm hearing compliments about the Polar app and lack of updates, etc. Convince me to stay... Edit: I cycle, mostly on an i

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

Can confirm, Ignite 3 Titanium battery went to shit after update, 100% to 80% in a few minutes, reset didn’t even do anything, tried contacting Polar, they didn’t give a shit, their watches are way too expensive for such a shit battery life imo, gonna move to Garmin

Polar battery capacity down 30% after 1yr of usage.

Having the same problem on a Ignite 3 Titanium, it’s a nice watch but the battery is a pos, had this watch for a year or very little over a year and battery is now corrupted, hard reset didn’t even work. Charging time is godawful & takes forever, I go from being stuck in 73% to complete in a few min
