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

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 Polar flow app for both Android and iOS remains outdated.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 Ignite 3 battery drain + false % after latest update — anyone else?

Die Ignite 3 meiner Frau hat das gleiche Problem, alles direkt nach dem Update, nach Kontakt mit Polar heißt es nur, Uhr einsenden, die machen einen Kostenvorschlag, ca 270€ für Reparatur, von einem Softwarefehler wollen die nichts wissen. Wäre nicht das erste Mal, dass bei einem Update ein Bug eing

Polar, still Polar in 2026

Glad you’re pleased with Flow. For me it is despicable! Why my Polar Ignite 3 remains in a drawer. A waste! Would never recommend nor buy Polar again unless the app is brought in from the Dark Ages.

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

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

Strava: If you get rid of Garmin, I will get rid of you

Polar Ignite 3 was launched at $330, and Ignite 2 at $280. I have no idea how you can make that a 40% difference. In my math book that would be calculated (330-280)/280=18%. I agree that some models in specific price ranges have either been kept or even decreased. I guess that is due to competition

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

To answer your question specifically, the survey was conducted in the form of asking which brand of sports watch members own and whether or not they were satisfied with it. If yes (no), why (not). And Polar seemed to perform well until the Ignite and Vantage series appeared. From then on, countless
