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)

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.

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

Grit X 2

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

Since yesterday my steps are not syncing, but sleep and workout sessions are

Yeah same here with Polar Pacer Pro. Polar fucked up! I hope they will fix it soon. I seriously wonder how they manage to do this. Are they even testing updates? It's not like this affects only a specific, older device, or something like that.

Polar Vantage M3 vs Garmin 265

I've been with Polar for a few years already, and whereas I loved my M2, I absolutely hate my Pacer Pro. It's slow, never syncs when it should, and it doesn't really offer much more than other watches. The band is falling apart after 2 years of usage, and I'm a bit done with the interface too.

These factors can be environmental factors such as heat, altitude, air resistance, terrain, and running surface; external factors such as clothing, shoes, cal

Pacer Pro got new Firmware 3.0.7

Nothing of real use for me, but I'm surprised it was updated :) Actually one of the updates (not Polar's fault) is that I can't select Galileo and have to use Russian satellites. Polar Pacer Pro 3.0.7 firmware update | Polar Global

New update for the Polar Flow app 6.34.0

And it says "Polar has not given any specific dates or timelines." which is as promising as me saying current Pacer Pro is not the last Pacer line. Random.
