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

That's great to hear! I hat a Fitbit versa, which i actually loved. But they changed the app and a lo of functionality got lost. After it was bought by Google it went further down the drain. I was actually looking at an Ignite 3 myself, so I think this thread further convinced me to go for Polar. Th

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.

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-

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.

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,

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

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
