Polar have some really outdated product lines.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.

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.
