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

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

I have ignite 3 and I love it! If I was rich, I would maybe get Vantage M3. Polar is nice and simple. I have tested (a bit) Garmin and Polar with wrist HR, they are pretty similar. Polar maybe doesn't take the highest point HR on intervals, but average HR was same as Garmin.

Get a polar H10, you need the best heart rate measurement to have any kind of predictive insights on recovery. Then any cheap watch from polar can get you good insights on polar flow, I'm not sure if the h10 alone is enough for that or not... A polar ignite 3 is enough for your use case and also has

I use a Polar Ignite 3. Pretty good. HR monitoring accuracy beats Garmin and others. But you still do need the phone as Polar doesn’t have a Spotify app. Think there are Garmin models that have that.

Laatst eenzelfde topic geopend hier en naar aanleiding daarvan een garmin forerunner 55 gekocht. Ik wilde hem ook alleen voor het hardlopen en goede gps was de enige eis. Het is een mooi licht horloge dus voor mij (als vrouw) ook goed dagelijks draagbaar. Wel heel basic, geen fancy schermpje of muzi

There's zero need for a watch if you want to stay fit. Zero. Why you buy watch, chest strap, weights then TRX, running shoes, protein, carbohydrates, etc. is that you want to stay fit better, not random. If I could choose what my Polar watch offers it would be ANS charge, Orthostatic test and accura

Your reaction "LOL First of all, if you get up to 90% of your max heart rate in less than 30 seconds you sound quite unfit to me." says just one thing - you ran out of the arguments and now make it personal insults. But if that really says something about anybody, it's about you. Just few last thing

That depends on how comfortable you are with the brand and if you can get a better support in person. My wife's ignite 3 happened to have a failure in the HRM after OS4 update, I went to the Polar store in my county, they confirmed it was under warranty and we are just waiting for the new watch to c
