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

Are there any good EU based smart wrist bands?

So Polar Loop is a smart wrist band but without a screen. If you want a sport watch then Polar Pacer Pro. I don't really get what you mean a smart wrist with a screen

I counted the wearables devices on my Strava feed this morning

Surprised by Polar not even making the list as a (I guess alone) Polar Pacer Pro user

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'm looking for a smart watch with ECG function.

So you have 2 options, - Polar (f.e. Pacer Pro) - Withings (f.e. scanwatch 2)

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

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

Street X megathread

Nice improvment compared to pacer pro. There is temperature measurement, orthostatic test, recovery pro and leg recovery test which are the features that ppp has not. Also Street X supports cycling sensors which is nice for those who needs it. The manual Street X | Polar Global

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
