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

No idea if I'm representative but this is my story... in 2020 COVID lockdowns led to me taking up cycling I live in a hilly place, there is lots of data to track I wanted a watch that was not massive, reasonably priced, and would track rides without needing a bike computer it came down to Polar and

polar ignite 3:selle suositus! hinta on kyl melko tyyris (~220€), mutta aivan mahtava hinta/laatusuhde. laajasti unen ja treenien seurantaa, tosta stressitasojen seuraamisesta en kyl osaa sanoa mitään.. kevyt, tyylikäs ja tosi käytännöllinen kello

New Polar smartwatch leaks via FCC as Polar Street X

Exactly! We got our watches for tracking fitness only. We don't use the "smart" features that let you control music, make phone calls, etc.. A basic fitness watch would work for many people. We used the Unite for a few years and liked it. As they started to slow down and not charge so great I looked

Vantage v3, ignite 3 or garmin venu 3

This. Polar has great sleep and recovery but the only strength training feature is the stop-start guide which optimizes the rest period between sets, Garmin has more offerings here (how useful, don't know). From Polar offerings Ignite 3 has most everything you will need. Maybe tests offered by V3 co

The Heartfelt "End of an Era" and Call to Action

Gosh, I thought I was the only one with a Polar addiction problem 🤭 I also feel loyal to the brand, but hear you. I got an Ignite 3 recently (to help me through a marathon without worrying about battery issues (unlike my Apple Watch), but slightly does not deliver what I thought it would, and feel a

Endless voice notifications?

No solution, but I have the same issue on my ignite 3. When I start the training it says "session started" twice, the first km it also says twice and then no voice guidance for the other kms. I had the problem before (might have been with the Pacer, though?) where it would repeat four (?) times. Get

Welche Laufuhr verwendet ihr?

Ich benutze eine Polar ignite 3, davor hatte ich das Vorgängermodell und davor dessen Vorgängermodell. Sie kann keine eigene Musik abspielen, das Handy muss man also dafür mitnehmen. Das wäre mein einziges Manko. Sonst bin ich super zufrieden. Ich trage die Uhren 24/7 und ziehe sie nur zum Aufladen

For those who used Polar and now have Coros

I'm not a Coros owner, but I did use Polar products for 6 years since the launch of the Vantage V1. I can confirm that Polar is slow to innovate (they truly aren't in the past 5 years) and their app is so, so incredibly dated. The feature-set they offer is often poor value as the competition will of

Polar vs Garmin watches (current Whoop user)

Had Garmin FR 45, 245, 255 & 165 and while the fitness monitoring was excellent the sleep tracking was pretty bad. Love sleep tracking on my Polar Ignite 3 and also its monitoring of activities. However, the Polar Flow app and website are outdated. All the information is on one or the other but the

Need help picking my first smartwatch

Polar does not support rep counting. For strength training there is only stop-start guide which optimises rest time between sets. Also no stress monitoring (besides nightly recharge which tells how recovered your body is, here Polar is state of the art) Polar excels in sleep and recovery, if you cho
