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)

New fitness program feature after latest update

For years I was reading proud Polar users saying „at least they don't put features behind a paywall“ as advantage this brand has against some others. Now it's gone. Thankfully they didn't put anything from current features behind a paywall so I should not complain for now, but it sure leaves a bitte

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

Started out with Polar, now moving to Coros. The in-watch HR sensor on my Pacer Pro got water leaked in. I also considered staying with the brand because it’s European etc. But it is just too expensive and honestly, doesn’t cut it. Heavy, the features are outdated and again, way overpriced. Too bad…

Suunto Race 2 Officially Released

I currently run a Polar Pacer Pro, a fairly dated watch by today’s standards and the accuracy is mediocre at best. I really like the Suunto UI and app experience, never really liked Garmin, especially the app I found it too cluttered and lacking a well thought out structure. And since Suunto address

What GPS watches are you using to track your swims?

Garmin forerunner 255 has been good for me so far in open water that’s not a pool. Just don’t use the polar pacer pro, it always loses gps signal in the water outside

So all of these are great, but which one to choose?(Suunto Race S, Polar avant m3or coros Pace pro)

I have a Race S and I'm very happy with it, especially the design is really nice. However, the coros pace pro might be a bit more modern and advanced and from what I've heard the coros experience is a bit smoother than the Suunto experience, esp. when it comes to creating running workouts. Since I s

Can I get speed, cadence and HR info all working within the Polar Flow app?

No you can't the Flow app supports only the heart measurment data on the go. You need polar watch or bikecomputer for the cycling sensors. For example PacerPro and Vantage series. I really wish that the cycling support would come to the flow app.

Polar watch shutting down and not syncing

Mine did this the other day, I'd just completed a 3 mile run, went to save it and the screen went black with the Polar logo. I left it alone for a bit and when I came back to it, it was working normally and had somehow saved the workout. I find the app can be quite buggy with auto syncing. I either

Polar Verity Sense questions

You are not alone, very annoying. Mine is from early 2023 and has the same problem. You have to always keep an eye on battery level or you might find that it won't turn on.I must say I am a bit dissapointed at Polar for this kind of things, you pay premium for a well know brand and get average resul
