Question for Polar Loop
As the Polar Loop uses the Flow app, it is way behind Whoop in presentation, analysis, etc. That’s why all these people use Whoop as the standard. Sadly the Loop is barely in the game. Hopefully Polar itself remains in the game but already it’s well behind in its goals of updating Flow. Additionally

Brand Reputation Matters: My Polar vs Garmin Service Experience
I wouldn't consider that bragging about Garmin support or products. I'd consider that bragging about a user who consistently pushed support for several days and finally got them to agree to replace it. Good on the user, not so good on the vendor support. This is easy to pick and choose faults to bas

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Polar have some really outdated product lines.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

Switching to Polar — app worries me
All kind of rumors last year new look was coming out for Android before end of 2025 with an update for iOS following in 2026. Polar never really said anything that I saw. Polar flow app for both Android and iOS remains outdated. My Ignite 3 remains desk bound as a result. Rocking Garmin again.

Polar remains financially stable, but its equity ratio has fallen from 75% to 45% in three years.
All that reflects is people seem willing to pay those prices. As we all know, Garmin is really on a roll. Polar is anemic to the extent it doesn’t seem to get out regular software updates, new products. The Loop is a rehash of an earlier business offering with key software issues. So sorry but Polar

Polar Smart Gadgets | Finland Company
I loved my a350 or whatever it was. I was really unhappy in my polar ignite the last few years (had to replace, old watch was no longer support and stopped being accurate). I preferred their old hardware. I still have the heart rate strap I use with my iwatch. Not my first choice but it's an ok set

Tips hardloophorloge
Heb een Polar Ignite gehad, prima horloge. Helaas kapot gegaan en een 2e hands Apple Watch gekocht, welke ook prima is. Ik gebruik daar de standaard fitness app maar je kan natuurlijk vanalles erop installeren.

How is it going for suunto?
I've moved to Suunto from an older Polar Pacer Pro, my partner has a V2, had an Ignite in the past. I find Polar pretty stagnant, when it comes to the watches (incl. firmware updates) and the app. The value doesn't always compete well. Maybe the Loop will accelerate some development - or hog all dev

What advantages does Polar have over Amazfit?
I feel Polar has the better algorithms and since I've been using Polar watches and chest straps for many years, I'm kinda ingrained in Polar's ecosystem. However, each of these Polar products started having issues within 2-3 years, charging and connection problems mostly. I even had to replace eithe

For those who used Polar and now have Coros
I'm not a Coros owner, but I did use Polar products for 6 years since the launch of the Vantage V1. I can confirm that Polar is slow to innovate (they truly aren't in the past 5 years) and their app is so, so incredibly dated. The feature-set they offer is often poor value as the competition will of
