Polar Flow app version 7.35.1 for Android

Polar should definitely consider whether their method of transferring data to Polar Flow should be completely changed. The problem occurs from time to time and it seems that only FlowSync can fix it, but Polar intends to discontinue FlowSync. What then? Every now and then I have to resort to FlowSyn

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

Need help for my first watch

Polar Ignite is still perfectly fine as a software machine, but there are 2 buts... 1) Buying such an old used device you risk battery life to be 1-2 days pretty soon and it's not replaceable; 2) If you're serious about tracking your fitness, some external device like a Verity Sense or H9, H10 chest

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 Polar flow app for both Android and iOS remains outdated.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

Hodinky na šport

Jop, mám polar pacer pro a som veľmi spokojný. Pred tým som mal ignite, tiež boli vpohode, ale ten dotykový LCD displej bol pičovina. Ale ja športove hodinky nosím len na šport, nie ako náhradu bežných hodiniek.

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

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

Kas kannad igapäevaselt käekella? Tavalist või nuti/spordikella? Pange nt kommentaariumisse, et mis kella või miks vms (sest no tavalise kella puhul nt see, et telo ju kogu aeg olemas).

Garmin Forerunner 970 kannan 24/7 enda aktiivsuse ja sporditegevuste mõõtmiseks. Alustasin kunagi Polar Ignite seeria spordikellaga, siis tekkis rumal tahtmine moodsa nutikella peale üle minna ja otsin Samsung Galaxy Watchi. Üsna kiiresti sain aru, et mul ei ole 90% sellest "nutikusest" vaja ning ig

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
