PolarIgnite 2 - GPS Fitness watch for women - Sports Men - Heart Rate Monitor, Activity Tracker Fitness, Workout, Health Recovery, Sleep Tracker - Calorie & Step Counter

After a year of home office working, I needed something to help promote a better lifestyle. The polar ignite 2 did everything I was looking for: fitness orientated with good sleep tracking and an eco system that provides simple feedback and motivation. Battery life has got me through a long, active Bank-Holiday weekend and proven quick to recharge and synch. Now 6 weeks into a 10km training programme the variety of training events, automatically downloaded, has been great: stretching, core mobility, strength exercises in addition to heart rate profiled running. All this in an a light, attractive watch. Impressed.

Let me start with the positive, its quite light and you dont really feel it when running. Personally, i though I would only use it when running but I do use it everyday now as it monitors my sleep and activities. Battery life is sufficient for 2-3 hours runs. For the cost its a great design overall. However, GPS is not working great. You would need to go to start training screen and wait around 5 min to get a good signal. Moreover, to activate the screen while running, you need to over move your arm. I also brought a hearth sensor from Polar and they work together with no problem. Overall, it’s good value for money for a amateur runner (or gym enthusiast).

Bought this to replace another more well known fitness watch. Polar is more accurate and I coupled it with a Polar chest strap for absolute accuracy. Has served me very well during my rehab from a Heart Attack, making sure that my exercise is not either a too low or too high level. The app is excellent in illustrating bands of exercise heart rate, and advising whether daily exercise is maintaining, loosing fitness or over-reaching.

I got this polar to replace my last Polar which was an M430 I think? The thing I love is that its easy to charge and to sync up to track my training month, which I can see on my PC.I find doing this keeps me accountable and helps with my motivation.I do strength training, circuit training and skipping.Overall I would give it 90 %. If it had a skipping function I would give it a perfect score.

I’ve been wearing this for 2 days now, charge on battery and features have been great but the touchscreen no longer works!Only 2 days! Must have shipped a faulty unit!

This is a Pound shop fitness watch, it does everything a fitness watch should do just not very well. The screen is low-def, clunky touchscreen with basic OS, and the button is stubborn. The heart rate sensor is somewhat inaccurate even more so during exercise. Battery life is poor with continuous HR monitoring turned on. Connects to polar flow app perfectly fine, just don’t expect it to connect to ALL gym cardio equipment. If you use an HR chest strap with it, absolutely no idea if the HR reading on watch is taken from strap or watch itself.But other than that it’s good value for what it is, but I won’t use it, in fact it would stop me from exercising all together as it is not enjoyable to use.

Terrific value for money. Great watch for tracking my Les Mills online and live classes. Good for logging runs and if you keep it on 24 hours it gives you loads of info re your sleep patterns.I’m so addicted to it now I feel lost when I have to take it off to charge!
