Polar Ignite 3 battery drain + false % after latest update — anyone else?

My Ignite 3 had the same problem. I tried everything: restarted it, factory reset, recalibrated the battery, and nothing, it seems to have only gotten worse. Finally, I contacted Polar and sent it to technical support. I just received a quote of R$ 1,620 (US$ 300) for the repair: "MODULE PRESENTS LO

Wäre nicht das erste Mal, dass bei einem Update ein Bug eing

To be clear, I don't dislike Polar and I think much of my criticism comes from wanting them to do well as I really enjoyed their products when they introduced the VV1 on up to the Pacer series. I simply feel their product line has suffered since they released the Ignite 3, lacking any real value in

Green lights never turn off

With the Polar Ignite 3, the green light never turns off when I put it on a table for night. It's a pity, because it consumes battery for nothing.

Polar Ignite 3 battery drain + false % after latest update — anyone else?

Can confirm, Ignite 3 Titanium battery went to shit after update, 100% to 80% in a few minutes, reset didn’t even do anything, tried contacting Polar, they didn’t give a shit, their watches are way too expensive for such a shit battery life imo, gonna move to Garmin

about the life time of the battery...

Same for me. The battery of my Ignite 3 Titanium basically died after 3 years and it can't be replaced. I have to charge the watch every day now and it drops from 100% to 56% within minutes. I have used Polar products for over 10 years but this watch is my last Polar product. A watch in this price r
