POLARIgnite - GPS Smartwatch - Fitness Watch with Advanced Wrist-Based Optical Heart Rate Monitor, Training Guide, Waterproof

I love it! It has worked perfectly for me. I have used it for different sports (running, swimming, weights and treadmill). In all of them has been really accurate. I'm a Polar fan now. So useful for my marathon training.

I'm beyond happy with this product. It seems very accurate. I love the constant heart rate monitoring. I strength train and do HIIT and my biggest concern was how it would do during HIIT workouts and it is seems to be amazing. I'll update if things change, but so glad I got this. Key is to wear it farther up your arm than a watch. So it is awkward to get used to, but still comfortable.

I have been a polar fan since a while, I changed my A370 for this and I love it. The watch is very nice and doesn’t look “sporty” as other models. It’s a watch that you can use everydayGpsI read some bad reviews about the gps. it’s not 100% but fair enough , it has the route and in some place it’s a bit out but not that bad.The watch get the gps signal very quick the first use and then, no problems from the next ones.UseIt’s easy to use, the screen size is perfect and during and after the workout you can see a lot of details on screen.The sync with Polarflow was quick and easy dame as the first time setup.BatteryIt lasts 3 full days without constant HR checking and 1.5/2h workout at day. It takes around 1 hour to fully charge

First, a word of warning: this is going to be a long review. I have a lot to say about smart watches/activity trackers.Secondly, here's what is important to me in a smart watch/activity tracker. First, it has to be pretty simple to use. I am a technological idiot. Secondly, I need an accurate calorie count and ability to track numerous kinds of exercise, but not every activity under the sun. Thirdly, I want it to look nice, have onboard (accurate) GPS, and have a decent online app. If you are a techno wizard or a marathoner/triathlete, you can stop reading this review now, because you and I have very different needs. If you are like me, here's the short version: I have been wearing this watch for just over 24 hours and can say that it meets most of my requirements, and I am still determining whether it meets the last two: GPS accuracy and online app.By way of background, I have had about 6-7 different Fitbit devices since approximately 2017. After starting with 3 Ionics (first two lasted about 11 months and were replaced for free by Fitbit because they were still under their 1-year warranty), I downgraded to a Charge because Fitbit wasn't going to replace my third Ionic for free and I wasn't going to spend more than $200 on a device that lasted 9-11 months. I have been through 4 different Charge devices in the past 2-3 years. So, I needed a more durable device. So, in June I bought a Garmin Venu Sq. Um, see technological idiot comment above. I had no idea how to work that device. Nor did I need things like cross-country skiing preloaded on my device. I have not gone cross country skiing in like 20+ years. I run about 3 miles, bike between 15 and 25, swim, do yoga, and lift weights. I am battling the over-40 waistline expansion and need to have an accurate calorie count for my activities, so I have a better idea how many calories I should be eating.Enter the Polar Ignite. It's so pretty! And I put it on and had figured out how to track an activity in like 5 minutes. It has all the activities I need pre-loaded without a crap-ton that are irrelevant to me. So far (after a walk, a swim and a bike ride) it seems to not do the things that annoyed me about my Fitbit Charge, i.e. turning off GPS or just stop recording an activity in the middle of the activity for no reason. It also has a much more accurate calorie count (based on what was my norm on the higher quality Ionic, what I get from treadmills that allow me to enter my weight/age, and online calorie burn estimators) than the Charge did, which I am presuming is because there appears to be 4-5 different heart rate sensors on the Polar, vs. one on the Charge.Now, I set everything up on the watch itself rather than my phone because I currently have a seriously old and barely functional phone. So, I have not been able to use the app yet and can't speak to that. I did really like Fitbit's app, so that is a comparison that is yet to be seen. I also am not entirely sure if I properly turned on the GPS when I went for a bike ride today (I have not even opened the use manual, as everything thus far has been very intuitive). If I did, the GPS was more than a mile off. That will be annoying if it turns out to be true. I always take my phone with me on outdoor runs/bike rides for security purposes, but it's a lot harder to check that during exercise than it is to look down at my wrist. So, if you have read this far, expect there to be an update once I have a new phone and can use the app and have read the user manual to make sure I am properly turning on the GPS.AAAANNND, here's the update. It lasted longer than my fitbit devices, but only by a few months. Purchased in September 2021, dead as a doorknob in December 2022. So, 15 months versus 11. And I'm sure (I'm not even checking because I am so certain), 3 months past warranty. I swear there is some conspiracy by all of the smart watch manufacturers to make people buy new ones once a year. Also, not going with this one again because the calorie count was INSANELY inconsistent and the GPS sometimes took like 5 minutes to connect (and sometimes didn't at all). So, back to the buying board. Yay.

Love this watch, it does exactly what I bought it for and more. I am not much a of a watch wearer but have been able to wear this one around the clock with no issues. And the sleep tracking has been an eye opener.

I regret buying this. HR is not the most accurate, GPS is extremely out, freezes and my watch just broke. During a workout I'd be doing kettlebell swings and then go straight into burpees, during this high intensity activity my HR registers at 115bpm. After about 45 seconds it only then registers my true HR. Most times, fifteen to twenty minutes into a cycle my HR registers at 89bpm even during intense hill climbs. During covid quarantine I was doing a run on my property in the shape of a heart for a charity. When I looked at the map on the polar flow app I "ran" up to 2 streets away when I remained on my property. Sometimes when starting a workout when I try selecting a workout (running, cycling, etc) I cannot start the HR. I touch the screen plenty of times and it doesn't work. I then have to restart my watch which is annoying and time consuming. My watch is only 8 months old. When I tried starting a workout today, as usual I couldn't start my workout by selecting from the activities menu. I tried pushing the back button to start again, my back button didn't work either. All it allows is for me to scroll through the activities, I can't start a workout or go back to the menu. The only thing I can do is restart the watch. I tried twice more and I got the same results. I then tried syncing with my phone, it says couldn't sync. I've been trying to sync on my laptop to update the firmware. Its been syncing for 3 hours. 99% of the time the watch does not wake up when you lift your arm, people probably think I'm crazy lifting my arm up and down, I think I now have tendinitis from that repetitive movement. Jokes aside, most times I have to press the button to wake it up. Let's not even talk about the terrible delayed touch screen. Don't buy this watch! My useless Samsung was more useful than this piece of junk. I'm so mad! The positive thing about this watch is that it is a watch, it can tell time.Update: I had to send my watch to Polar head office for fixing. I live in Cape Town and had to send my watch to Johannesburg. It definitely came back much better. It stopped freezing, however, the inaccurate HR didn't change and neither did the "waking up" of the watch with my arm movement. My watch did improve overall as I decided to replace it with the Garmin Venu 3S.

I love the accuracy in tracking my calories and heart rate when I workout.

1. Suivi du sommeil: Le sommeil a été analysée la 1ère semaine avant de rendre une information. Après 1 semaine vous disposez après chaque nuit d’une information détaillée de comment s'est déroulé la nuit. C'est ainsi qu'on a pu tracer avec précision une détérioration du sommeil et y remédier rapidement grâce aux indications de cette montre. ON recommande !2. Le GPS: Comparé à une montre précédente bien connue du marché, on a gagné en qualité. On a désormais le tracé en forêt avec précision. La qualité reste, le prix s'oublie!

I have owned 2 Garmin Vivosmart HR +, a Huawei and Core fitness watches. This Polar is the best by a long shot. GPS is accurate for distance, the heart rate monitor is great and the other metrics work well. Unlike the Garmin - the face is not a soft plastic that scratches just from a sleeve being pulled over it. The battery is ok - the more you keep on the more you have to charge. I roller ski, bike, swim and hike. You can use it in the pool up to a depth of 30 meters. Stay away from the Core - it is a piece of junk.

EMagnifique montre, féminine. Point négatif : elle devrait normalement s’allumer quand on bouge le bras pour regarder, il faut vraiment insister et parfois utiliser le bouton. Ne calcule pas le taux d’oxygene

バッテリーの持ちも良く、ウォーキングやウォッチのトレーニングを使っています。今のところ特に困ったことはないです。
