Accurate HR - Very Good Features - Extensive Data
After nearly 3 months of use, I'm very pleased with the Ignite. Most importantly, the HR tracking is ACCURATE. I compared the data over the first month with a Polar Chest Strap H10, and the excellent comparison led me to retire the H10. Yay - one less item to worry about batteries and Bluetooth.The strengths of the Ignite include the HR tracking, larger variety of workout types (e.g., indoor cycle), extensive array of sleep tracking data and analyses, and general appearance. The Ignite needs to be charged about every 2nd day depending on usage but it recharges quickly.It's not perfect - I wish the alarm function was more flexible in allowing different day settings and the syncing does have to be initiated manually which takes a couple of mins. And the sleep tracking can be fooled if one stays awake for more than a few mins overnight. However the wealth of data on the watch, on the app, and online in Polar Flow is astounding. I've added a couple of screenshots of the online app to show a small portion of what's available. Due to Covid-19 we have not traveled so I don't know how the system handles time zone changes. Trips used to absolutely blowup the cheapo tracker and software that I used prior to the Ignite. I'm guessing it would be fine.I spent many months reading reviews of various devices and I am very pleased about choosing the Ignite.

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2019
The Polar Ignite does a lot more than I expected. It is more than a FitBit, less than an Apple Watch which is right where I wanted it to be. The GPS works really well for bike rides and, surprisingly, lap swimming. I wear it pretty much all the time and end up charging it every other day from around 30% remaining - it does charge very quickly though. I have verified the heart rate with an external SpO2 meter and the numbers agree very well.
As for cons, the touch display is a bit laggy but not aggravatingly so. Also, water on the display in the shower will emulate touch events. One change I'd like to see is a night time dimmer mode, or alternatively a small time display on a black background during the "sleep hours" because in the middle of the night it seems very bright.
I really like this watch - as an already active person it tracks my activity, sleep and etc. in surprising and insightful ways. It pairs with the Polar website to allow you to plot all your data and see your trends. If you are already active and are looking for a good fitness tracker, this is a good candidate.

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2024
I've really enjoyed my Polar Ignite over these last 3 years however, about 6 months ago I noticed I was no longer able to access the lap time information, due to the touch screen on that section not responding. No matter how hard I touched the screen, it would never go to the lap time info. Now, it can take several minutes to choose the workout program as the touch screen response is erratic, causing a program to start that you did not choose. It could take a few minutes of swiping!! Also, battery life was suffering.
So, this is my final review as I'm going to jump ship on Polar and choose Coros Pace 3.
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2020
I bought this to check distance, pace and heart rate. The heart rate monitor can be off as much as 20-30 bpm. My normal resting heart rate is under 55. This thing measures 75. A lazy 3 miler and this thing said I averaged 160. No way! A check by hand at the end was 130. No matter how tight or loose the thing is strapped on it’s awful. Nice little watch otherwise, but don’t buy for the monitor.

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2020
There are a number of reviews that suggest this watch screen is troublesome to activate using the wrist twist but I've discovered that if you turn your wrist at the speed you would normally turn it to look at your normal wristwatch, the screen comes on quite readily, however if you try to "flick" your wrist too quickly it won't come on. Also all the comments about the lack of sensitivity of the touch screen are unfounded.; gentle sliding of the finger tip achieves scrolling very easily. All in all, both the wife and I are very happy with the 2 Polar Ignite watches we bought for our exercise training with the added benefit of the Sleep monitoring and built in Fitness Test function, it is a GREAT tool!

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2019
Good sensor that gives accurate heart rate numbers. The strap that came with it (Pro Strap) was disappointing. After owning it for 30 days in which it was used 4-5 times per week, the strap developed a split near one of the connectors. It also began giving heart rate numbers that jumped around on the Kieser bike at the gym. It wasn’t the bike because it gave the varying number no matter what bike I used. I contacted polar and they are sending a replacement. Be aware that their warrantee period is 6 months. Tip: manufacturer warrantee periods tell you how long long they think it will last so don’t expect the strap to last longer than that.

Reviewed in Italy on September 23, 2023
Sono un appassionato sostenitore di smartwatch e sportwatch che ho acquistato dai primi sviluppi tecnologici di produttori come Garmin,fitbit,amazfit,Xiaomi,Huawei etc. Poi ho deciso di acquistare Polar e finalmente un device che veramente ti restituisce un vero feedback,senza limitarsi a contare e tracciare ma sviluppare algoritmi che trovano riscontro per la salute e l'allenamento.Solo ultimamente altri stanno copiando questi algoritmi ma ancora non sono al livello di Polar,come ad esempio l'analisi del sonno,la migliore in assoluto,che considera la frequenza,la varianza,e la respirazione per segnalare lo stato sna e consigliarti il tipo di allenamento adeguato per la giornata e pure il tuo rendimento migliore nel corso della stessa.Ogni giorno ti consiglia la serie di esercizi da fare in base al proprio stato presenti e spiegati all'interno del dispositivo,e indica il carico,la tolleranza e i benefici di ogni attivitá.Tanto altro ci sarebbe da dire ma la cosa più importante per questi dispositivi è la precisione dei sensori e lo sviluppo delle applicazione, e qui polar è il top con una app.ma soprattutto un Cloud su web eccezionale dove puoi vedere ancora più metriche e creare i tuoi allenamenti da sincronizzare con l'orologio.Potrai vedere una animazione del tuo esercizio su mappa con sovraimpressioni cinematica di percorrenza,battiti etc.Amazfit ad esempio non ha Cloud e alcune funzioni in app ora sono a pagamento come per fitbit o ticwatch che ha una app.pessima che rende inutile l'utilizzo del device infatti non ho più usato il mio pro 3.Passiamo ai materiali che dopo un anno ,in tutte le condizioni,docce calde,piscina,mare ,sole a picco sono perfetti.Il vetro in speciale composito di Polar è impossibile rigarlo,sbattuto su scogli,pietre,durante attività di bricolage niente.Comodissimo,leggero,non si sente al polso.In un anno sempre indossato ,anche durante il sonno, naturalmente disconnettendo il bluetooth,si perché Polar ha anche la modalità aereo prerogativa dei wear os,che ritengo fondamentale perché anche se ritenute sicure preferisco dormire senza microonde vicino al mio cervello.La batteria al momento mantiene la capacità iniziale con 4-5 giorni di autonomia usato con esercizi tutti i giorni e sconnesso la notte.La parte smart e ai livelli di tutti gli altri cinesi blasonati,dove si ricevono notifiche ma non si risponde,Garmin e fitbit ti permettono di rispondere con messaggi preimpostati ma lo ritengo inutile,solo wearos o Apple ti permettono di fare quello che alla fine faresti con il cellulare che hai sempre con te,questa parte non la ritengo smart e preferiscono non avere alla fine un "doppione" del cellulare al polso.Polar mi ha stregato anche per l'interfaccia semi vintage ma unica,sempre leggibile,reattiva il giusto ma soprattutto leggibile anche senza occhiali,bella grande e risoluta il giusto.

Reviewed in Mexico on January 25, 2020
Excelente producto. La principal característica que buscaba (medición constante del ritmo cardíaco) la cumple a cabalidad. El resto de las características las hace muy bien (ejercicios complementarios, medición de la calidad del sueño, notificaciones). Sigo siendo fan de la marca. Lo único que puede ser molesto para algunas personas es la necesidad de recargar el reloj con relativa frecuencia, en mi caso cada tres o cuatro días (depende por completo de tus hábitos de ejercicio)

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 5, 2019
I'm already a fan of Polar products, I have been for years, I purchased the Vantage V when it was first released and did the same with the Ignite.
I've spent this week getting used to the Ignite, it's a touch screen like the Vantage V, but with fewer buttons, one to be precise. The watch was easy to set up and synced with my Flow account seamlessly. There were a few updates to do, but that didn't take very long.
The touch screen performs really well and I love the screen colours and brightness with the watch coming to life when I turn my wrist to look at the screen or touch the watch face or button.
The Ignite Optical heart rate sensors look the same as on my Vantage V and it picks up my heart rate just as quickly. The sleep stages are a lot more detailed on the Ignite compared to what I'm used to on the Vantage V though, but having read some on-line reviews, it looks like these sleep stages will also be added to my Vantage V in a future software update. After a few days I started to get more scores associated with how well I'd been sleeping and how recharged my body was, I love this feedback - well done Polar!! Of course I also know my body well and if I'm feeling refreshed from sleep or not, but it has been really good to see the Ignite offering the details relating to how much time I've spent in each of the sleep stages and how 're-charged' I am the next morning. I'm looking forward to using the Fitspark functions at the weekend with a cardio workout and then seeing my sleep and re-charge scores the following day. Fitspark isn't available on my other Polar devices so I'm intrigued to see how this will work, it definitely looks like some of the available exercises in the planned routines are going to give me a real challenging workout, which I will love.
There's also something called serene breathing, I've followed the onscreen instructions in bed at night before settling down to sleep and I have to say I do feel more relaxed and ready for sleep after doing the breathing exercises.
Lastly I've reviewed some of the regular routes I've ran in my Polar flow account, the GPS on the Ignite so far has been good, with great connectivity even under the dense canopy of trees on one of my favourite routes.
All in all, this is a fabulous device, with many new features that I'm really enjoying using and the price is great too.

Thought I would get four days battery life, only getting two. I only use watch for heart rate and sleep.
