I'm a woman with small wrists, and I really like the Polar Ignite 3. It is small, thin front-to-back, and lightweight. I don't need something as dainty as the Garmin Lily 2 - I just need something that doesn't feel big and heavy and clunky. I didn't have a great fit with the Polar Pacer Pro because

The article mentions Pacer X as well, found in the Flow app but no mention of a release date. Due to not liking the style of most smartwatches, Ignite 3 Titanium is the only watch in the Polar line up that I would consider wearing, so I had been waiting for an Ignite 4 Titanium before committing to

The Ignite 3 is quite old at this point, over three years. I'd look into a third party seller that might be selling it discounted or wait for an Ignite 4. I'd probably get the Vantage M3. Its a bit of a mid-sized watch, fairly affordable, and has all of Polar's latest features.

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,

If you have thinner wrists or if you like a slimmer watch, the Ignite 3 is the best Polar can offer. But if your style and character lean towards a more built body the Vantage M3 is not a bad choise either.

None of their watches (except for Unite) are that much different for casual user. I would advise getting the one that looks/feels best on your hand. Given the chance to get anything from Polar catalog I would go with Ignite 3 Titanium (now own Pacer Pro).

I have my 3rd polar Watch (ignite/pacer pro/x2). Works fine by me. I need a Watch that focussen on data for my (trail)running and with focus and without distraction. Just about right for me. No unnecessesary shit, just the basics done right. And the new grit x2 is a very nice Watch and covers all of

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

You're giving me so much confirming information! I actually only do cardio and weights atm. I've been wanting to pick up climbing for a while, so I'm glad to hear it's great for that too. And also want the titanium one, but I'm allergic to nickel and read that some people got a rash from it. My fitb

Any polar watch. If you are looking for something thin and lightweight, look at ignite 3 or pacer/pacer pro.
