Polar Ignite 2 review: a decent fitness watch with robust training support and good GPS battery life

However, the Polar Ignite 2 is overshadowed by the ever-increasing competition in the highly-competitive mid-range fitness watch market

Advanced training suggestions ; Ambient light sensor ; Built-in GPS

Hardly any updates since the Ignite ; Watch feels less premium than similarly priced fitness watches such as the Fitbit Versa 3

The Polar Ignite 2 is a slightly updated version of its predecessor that came out two years ago, which is an eternity in fitness wearable years. It might still be a viable option for those who really can’t stand Fitbits and also don’t want to spend...

Polar Ignite 2 review: Enough of a spark?

The second-gen fitness watch from Polar doesn't go big on smartwatch features, but does on fitness features. So what's new and is it worth it?

New-look case ; FitSpark workouts ; Advanced sleep monitoring

Screen responsiveness ; Limited smartwatch features ; Polar Flow phone app is busy

This second-gen device delivers a slightly nicer look and some useful software extras that make it a modest upgrade on the first Ignite. If you want a fitness watch that sits small and light on your wrist and offers some unique tracking features, there...

Polar Ignite 2 review

For people about to embark on a new fitness regimen, the Polar Ignite 2 could be just the ticket. It's not the easiest thing to use, but persevere and you'll find plenty of features to tinker with

Exhaustive list of exercise programs ; Premium watch faces ; Lightweight

Silicone strap feels a little cheap ; Cramped UI

For newcomers, this is a comprehensive – if exhausting – introduction into the world of fitness tracking. Dedicated gym rats will either appreciate the granularity the Ignite 2 offers or go for something a bit more ruggedised and specific to their needs.

Polar Ignite 2 Hands-On: What’s New & Different

Last week Polar launched the Ignite 2, . While I've been using the Ignite 2 for a few weeks now, this isn't a review – mainly since the unit isn't done yet. It's not set to start shipping till the end of April (or even being on sale till then). Thus,...
