I am new to Polar, very disappointed. What am I missing?

Pacer Pro about 4 years old, what did you expect? Everyone complains about PolarFlow. The watch won't make you a better runner( if thats what you do)

Why did you choose Polar? Looking for arguments to stay in the ecosystem before upgrading

Main reasons why I chose Polar: • ⁠Accuracy: H10 is the “gold standard” HR wearable • ⁠Science-base: I love that they have published white papers for all their features • ⁠Privacy: including data storage in EU • ⁠Running training support: H10 + Pacer Pro + Flow give me basically everything I need to

Move to Polar?

I came from garmin to polar. The biggest thing that often doesn't get mentioned enough is that Polar makes sport watches. Their metrics are amazing and I have found them to be very accurate. What Polar doesn't do well are the smart watch features. In my experience, the phone integration is more anno

I am new to Polar, very disappointed. What am I missing?

Hopefully I’m unbiased but here’s my take. I agree, the Flow app is pretty terrible. There are people that defend it and say it gives them what they need (sure, I get that) but its UI/UX is unacceptable for 2026 imo. Having said that, this has been an issue for a very long time. Meaning you’re buyin

Goodbye Polar

My Pacer Pro is working OK-ish, but I'm getting the "could not sync. try again" warning message all the time in the Polar Flow app. While following the troubleshooting steps, I didn't manage to solve it, but now my H10 cannot pair with my watch -_-So I don't blame you.

In the age of AI and trade wars

Switching from Apple to a Polar is a reeeeaaaly big stretch imho. Polar is a fitness watch, Apple watch is a smart watch. They fit in very different segments and expectations. Polar is not without it's flaws. I just bought a Polar Pacer Pro a few weeks ago and agree there is room for improvement. Bu

Hardloophorloge

Ja zelf al een tijd heel erg tevreden met een polar m430 en nu een polar pacer pro, partner is met de vantage M3 ook heel blij. Vind het wel een fijn idee dat het een Europees bedrijf is en je data ook binnen Europa blijft.

I had a forunner garmin 225 that I used from 2015 to 2024. This watch still works but I wanted to try something new. I have a pacer pro since 2024. I am happy with it. I am happy with polar flow app, and polar flow web is where the data are to be found if you want to go deeper in the analysis. There

Polar Flow app version 7.35.1 for Android

This update/patch was another kind of disaster... I have an iPhone so in recent couple of days I re-paired my watch (Polar Pacer Pro) to my iPhone and it works great (iOS 26.4 with 7.35.1 Polar Flow). So when I heard about the Android update, I tried to switch back. On Android, in 7.35.0, it's just

That's how you move the market, how you make sales - give people something new. So if the watch works fine, I'm OK with no new updates after a year or two. Having said that I'll share Polar Pacer Pro updates in 3 years: Version number: 1.1.3 (2022-04-13 - first)Route and elevation profiles Version n
