I've been using a polar watch for years, it's perfect. I currently have an ignite 3, it looks much better on a skinny woman's wrist than any garmin. I use the H10 HRM for training, it's flawless. It's European and much cheaper than the garmin.

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Polar have some really outdated product lines.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

New Polar smartwatch leaks via FCC as Polar Street X

Exactly! We got our watches for tracking fitness only. We don't use the "smart" features that let you control music, make phone calls, etc.. A basic fitness watch would work for many people. We used the Unite for a few years and liked it. As they started to slow down and not charge so great I looked

Polar Vantage V3 - charging time increased significantly.

I complained about this exact same issue to Polar (I was able to pinpoint the problem to cable due to wife having Ignite 3) and they sent me new one for free.

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.

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

New polar sports watch

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.
