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

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Polar have some really outdated product lines.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

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.

WTH is wrong with Polar support?
Yup agreed, had my Polar Pacer Pro 2.5 years. Probably about 3-4 times have needed todo a factory reset. I'm also sure it's a data correction issue.

Pacer decided to end itself this morning
Polar Pacer pro, every second month same shit. Syncing back with phone is like black magic.

C’mon Polar…
Exactly why I don´t advise Polar any longer. This is a fundamental error on software architecture and error handling. At least the session should be saved each x minutes if you know you have a problem in that area! Instead of resolving this and integration with training platforms, they choose easy m

Decide often dead when over 50% charge
My Pacer Pro has the same behavior. When under 50% it lose it's charge almost over night. I can't go out for a one hour run anymore if the watch is at 23% for example. 1 year and a few month old. I suspect the culprit is the mobile app. My android phone (Pixel 8a) warned me a few times that Polar Fl

Sportwatch
The only Polar watches in that price range are the Ignite 3, Pacer Pro and Pacer, and the Unite, and that is during their current sale. Given what you say you would use it for, the Ignite 3 is probably your best bet. It’s a current watch, unlike the others that are pretty dated. You can have a look

Suunto Race for Mtb
Not really - I have used an Instinct and a Polar Pacer Pro and am looking for a more durable build. I know the Suunto would give me that. I've also read a bunch about the hit-and-miss HR tracking but I didn't need to ask about it since there is a plethora of posts and reviews out there already. Has
