The Heartfelt "End of an Era" and Call to Action

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

What happened to Polar?

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

Nightly metrics reliability

I am currently using a Polar Pacer Pro. I had the same issue with an Ignite 3 previously. The Garmin I used as comparison was a Venu SQ Music. I would love for sleep tracking to work reliably on Polar, because overall I prefer their app and watches (yes, unlike many others, I find Polar Flow to be f

What watch would be best for indoor cycling and for monitoring heart rate?

Do you need to be able to connect a cycling power meter to your Polar watch? The Vantage V3, M3 and Grit X2 (Pro and regular models) , and Pacer series can do this. The Ignite series cannot. Note that not all power meters are compatible. https://support.polar.com/ca-en/which-third-party-sensors-are-

Polar ignite 2

Hello, My wife uses Ignite 2, and the 2nd device goes wrong nowadays. After about 2 years, the first one faced the known swipe problem, where swiping sideway wasn't registered. The button worked, but couldn't change datascreen. Polar changed it in warranty. Now, after about 2 years usage, the 2nd de

Inaccurate sleep data?

Hi, I find Amazfit's sleep detection to be more than inadequate, which is why I personally hardly use my watch anymore, because all the data based on it cannot be accurate. Currently T-Rex3. This is my third watch/model from Amazfit, and my wife currently has the Active 2, which is her second watch/

Polar fitness watch recommendations for women

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.

Apple Watch S8 replacement for treadmill running

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

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

hey guys, what's the best "bang for your buck" running watch?

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.
