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)

3 Years of Faithful Service, I think my Pacer has reached EOL

Mine Pacer PRO is 3y6m old and except for unreliable/slow charging (for half of its life) is still doing fine. I chose to go with Polar around 5-6 years ago not because it was the best for my needs, but because others were worse. Still feel the same today. If it goes kaput, I will still choose Polar

Goodbye Polar – My farewell review of the Polar Pacer Pro

Polar I’m pretty sure was the original when it came to sportswatches don’t quote me. But the Pacer pro has everything you need to run a marathon. Not sure why switching a watch would make a difference except you want something shiny and new I guess that’s ok. Polar isn’t going anywhere so no need to

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 farewell review of the Polar Pacer Pro

Polar pacer pro is really good for its price, just a little dated. For me Polar makes the best watches

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

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 h10

I've had mine for something like, I don't know, 10 years? I've had Polar watches and straps from the year 2001 and the H10 is simply a solid workhorse with easy battery replacement and long battery life. Reliable data, simple use. Zero issues. I use it with my Pacer Pro (previously Vantage M, M430 a

Sports watch advice

As a happy owner of the Pacer Pro, I naturally recommend it—I do all the same sports as you, and this watch fully meets my needs. Polar is an extremely high-quality brand—all my watches from the past 25 years are still in like-new condition; they just need charging and are ready to hit the trail aga

Polar pacer pro or...?

Not overkill at all. The fitspark workout suggestions are nice, and the training load is (IMHO) a real help to noobs and older folks who are more susceptible to over training related injuries. The watch does take time to learn you and your body and adjust accordingly, so some patience is required at
