POLARIgnite 2 Series Water Resistant Smartwatch with GPS, Heart Rate Monitoring, Sleep Analysis and Personalized Fitness Tracking, S-L, for Men or Women, Black

Watch is great for exercise as well tracking sleep. This watch will track HR of sleep, HR beat variation, REM cycles and time of each cycle in your night of sleep, interruptions in your night of sleep, etc etc and also tracks quality of sleep based on HR. The watch keeps track of average sleep statistics as well to track improvement of sleep. I like the alarm function as well since I usually can’t wake up from my phone alarm clock. The battery life is sufficient enough that it lasts over 4 days most of the time depending on how many workouts you do or other functions that you use and recharging is quick. Touch controls are a little slow to respond, and sometimes difficult to use when sweating a lot or if the watch/your hand is wet. I’ve used this watch in a steam room and pool many times in the past 6 months without any water damage issues at all. The watch continues to function and track HR and workout data even after over an hour inside a steam room (115 degree F is the typical temperature in the steam room I use). The button allows you to pause or save a workout without using the touch functions which comes in handy when using the watch for swimming or other sports involving water. The watch also has weather data as well if paired with your phone. In regards to Hr accuracy, the watch does need to be secured and not loose to properly track HR especially for sleep data to be accurate. I have experienced inaccurate readings when I did not have the watch right enough on my wrist, but it doesn’t need to be painfully tight. Overall a great watch for those who don’t care for smart watch capabilities but want a solid watch for exercise and sleep tracking.

Got this watch and the chest strap monitor because I needed a level of accuracy for high intensity training that I couldn't get from my fitbit.

The device Looks ok Not sure how to get Messages on the wacht I am just getting the notifications But Not the messages and the Support kb articles seem poor But for what ir matters i am happy

does what I want , replaced my older Polar M430. I do wish it had an alarm for max heart rate,

I have tried a Fitbit Versa 2 and this Polar Ignite, so this review contrasts them. The polar ignite is much more accurate as a heart rate tracker, which is great. I no longer feel the need for a chest-band tracker; I can trust this wrist mounted one. But with the fitbit I had gotten used to the software making sensible, if not perfectly accurate, decisions. If I went for a long walk the fitbit would recognize that and log it. If I mowed the lawn the tracker would think I was riding a bike on gravel (vibrating wrist, moving, somewhat elevated heart rate - not a bad guess!). The Polar so SO DUMB about this. If you don't remember to tell it "now I am exercising" and "now I am stopping"...well, here's an example: I played some tennis and at the start I clicked on "start logging exercise - 'outdoor other' category" because there's nothing closer to tennis than that. I finished and forgot to tell the watch I was finished. I drove home, went to bed, slept until the next morning and then noticed my watch was still logging my "exercise," even though I'd been travelling 60mph with a heart rate of 60bpm and then sleeping for 6 hours. And then then for about four days it tells me, essentially, "don't exercise any more because remember you did 14 straight hours of working out two days ago and that means your injury risk is elevated!" Likewise if I get in a hard workout session and fail to tell the watch when it started and ended the software on the app says "your fitness is declining because you didn't exercise this week," despite a clear 90 minute period with my heartrate high. Not useful. Also the actualy touchscreen controls are annoying - I have to tap and tap and tap to get it to register. So I'm using it less and less. Forgetting to turn on or turn off the exercise tracking mode once screws up your carefully curated workout record for a week or so. Also this watch misinterprets sleep, so I can't trust that either. If I'm awake for an hour during the night it ususally says I was awake for 5 minutes. The fitbit did much better interpreting sleep and waking.

Todo me encanto

Purchased Polar ignite & hr10 chest strap. Very happy with chest strap, accurate & reliable. Ignite watch & app are terrible. Manual synch has never worked , auto synch works if watch & phone are stored together. Wrist movement is no longer reliably activating display. Cannot configue watch to vibrate when heart rate is exceeded.Other watch apps use voice alerts . Watch programming is not intuitive, seems bloated with wellness surveys & breathing exercises. If you like spending endless hrs watching tutorials,trying to sync the watch or programming it this is your watch.

This watch has been a fantastic fitness aid to me. I only wish it had a lower minimum brightness for when I used it at night.
