Polar Ignite review: gives Garmin Forerunners and Fitbits a run for their money

 

The Polar Ignite is indeed a versatile workout partner, if you don't mind the lack of NFC and music storage

Continuous heart rate tracking ; Easy to operate (button + touchscreen) ; Built-in GPS

Not NFC enabled ; No music storage ; No maps

Polar Ignite review

Polar Ignite review

 

Does Polar's latest set the wearable world on fire?

Light and slim ; Great features for the price ; Nice, bright screen ; Good sleep insights ; Detailed app

Cheaper feeling than existing Polar watches ; Touchscreen responses could be better ; Lacks smarts like music and payments

A great little watch bursting with fitness features and at a price point that you’d be lucky to match elsewhere

High quality fit and finish ; Most advanced sleep metrics available today ; Solid battery life ; Accurate heart rate sensor ; Comfortable strap ; Full featured Polar Flow service

Frustrating touchscreen and single button navigation ; Inconsistent sleep tracking performance ; Limited notifications and customization

Review: Polar Ignite, an all-around fitness device offering advanced metrics

 

Polar Ignite is an all-around activity tracking device that focuses strongly on overall well-being and recovery. Here's are full review.

Beautiful design ; Crisp display ; Versatile training tool ; Advanced sleep and recovery metrics ; Decent battery life

Temperamental display ; GPS accuracy ; Few smartwatch features

Ignite is a great fitness watch. Polar has managed to cram an impressive array of features into something that is very good looking and extremely lightweight. The device was developed as a more affordable version of the company’s Vantage V & M watches...
