Selected User Reviews For POLAR IGNITE - Advanced Waterproof Fitness Watch (Includes Polar Precision Heart Rate Integrated GPS and Sleep Plus Tracking)
On the first level, Polar got the form factor of the Ignite right (small, sleek, thin, vibrant). It is the best tracker I've tried, even though there are others claiming to be 24/7. Since it is as light as a watch, it is the first tracker I can wear while sleeping without complaint. It is the most accurate wrist based device for measuring heart rate and GPS, allowing me to do a wide variety of different activities throughout the week (whatever activity I am doing). A GPS signal is quickly established and has so far been able to judge the distance accurately. It is very easy to comprehend the sleep metrics (even though they seem very scientific and over my head). This at such a granular level is nice, and I could actually start making changes to my sleep schedule based on this data. As for the new features, the workout of the day recommendation is pretty cool as well and appears to be a Polar watch new feature. It hasn't been a chance for me to follow these yet, but I am really curious to hear about recovery recommendations, as that has been a topic of concern lately.
I have been happy with the results so far. This watch has been used by me for swimming (25 meters swimming pool), road cycling, trail and road running and especially the "sleep tracking" It has been easy to use for all of these activities and after one week, my training experience has improved as I make the small changes recommended by the watch.
Pros With only one button to push and an intuitive touch screen, I found all functions to be intuitive. I was able to connect quickly to my watch's GPS for workouts and to view my heart rate information. As far as the program is concerned, I'm like the suggested workout routines and have already started following them. In addition, I like the Polar Flow app and how easy it is to sync and post data from my day. Whenever I use the app, I feel a sense of accomplishment when I review my activities and see the "evaluation" that comes with them. The next day, I will want to work out again as a result of this! A con is It is not a major concern, but I had to sync my watch with the Polar Flow App instead of adjusting it directly on the watch in order to enable "auto stop" and set lap distance in miles. As a result, I only had to do this once and now my watch works perfectly with no issues. The bottom line is that this Triathlete really enjoys this device. I have read that watch bands can be easily changed, so I will purchase two new colors of bands (black and yellow) over the next few weeks to keep my look fresh for the remainder of the summer and into the.
There is a major problem with the GPS accuracy of this watch. As compared with my phone GPS, the Polar has a lot of issues when it comes to Although I was not expecting the level of accuracy per Garmin GPS, I expected something similar to the accuracy of a It is good to know that the HR monitor works well and the sleep functions are great as well. Despite the low price, on the other hand, the features are very limited, and since only one button is available, the usability is also.
The device works great when it works, but after only a month of ownership, I have already had to completely unpair it and then repair it to my phone three It can connect and upload data automatically some of the time, but there are times when you can connect manually a dozen times and still it won't sync. I've worn it every day for 30 plus days, but it will tell me that it can't collect data about my sleep. Watches are amazing I love the idea of having one There's just no way to see it doesn't react as well to touch as I'd like, and the screen turns on about 80% of the time when I don't want it to, and about 25% of the time when I do. Polar is my brand of choice because I'm happy with the quality and accuracy of their chest strap HRMs, and in comparison, this watch is very accurate as well. An overnight backpacking trip was made even better by the GPS in the watch. It's great that there are training options and suggestions onboard, but my biggest complaint is the syncing issues. I have tried 30 minutes today and still cannot get it to work. The product is almost a year old, and I have never returned a product after that long. I just want it.
