Polar Ignite 3 - Fitness & Wellness GPS Smartwatch, Sleep Analysis, AMOLED Display, 24/7 Activity Tracker, Heart Rate, Personalized Workouts and Real-time Voice Guidance

I have always had Polar watches and this is the best yet. Syncs to my Samsung phone. Touch screen works great. GPS works great. Fits nice on the wrist and looks smart too.

I have a 1st generation ignite and this is much nicer, more functions, nicer display, and just better battery life, I don’t really like the strap, but that’s easy to change

I bought the polar ignite 3 to replace my polar ignite 2 which went rogue 2 months out of its 2 yr warranty. Was really impressed with my replacement, loved the sleekness and almond screen of this watch, the band was comfortable, it had all I needed from a sports fitness watch, then 2 wks later this watch also started to go rogue, it started of by constantly restarting itself, every other hour it would restart mid training also several times during the night with the result there was no sleep tracked or skin temperature results, because it would restart itself during training the training exercise wasn’t recorded or saved either. I read on forms that several others were experiencing the same problem with polar watches, some had said to reset the watch back to factory settings which I done several times, but the watch only lasted a day and was back to its resetting itself again.. I’m most disappointed as I do like the polar community and loved the style of this watch, it was easy to use and done all I needed, however I’ve sent it back to seller and waiting on a refund, looking at other manufacturers of smart watches a bit of a minefield as I’ve only ever had Polar.

As a former fitness instructor this gives me all the stats combined with the app that I need when I am training the only thing that could be improved is the watch strap I find that it can irritate if you sweat a lot

Previous post have mentioned interface slowness and lag. I bought my Polar Ignite 3 on 17th November and since then there have been software updates which have all but resolved slowness and lag issues, so ignore the earlier posts. The display is beautiful and the watch is very light and easy to wear.

really happy with the watch, if i had to find a fault it would be my preference for buttons on the side rather than being touch screen. other than than its great.

I bought this watch 9 months ago and had been happy with its performance. But it stopped working and is stuck in a loop on its "boot up" screen and then shuts down. Polar support has never responded to me. I'm not saying its a bad watch it might be fine for you but if it stops working after less than a year then you have to question if it is worth the money you pay.

I bought this as it looked great online and on reviews however, I found it disappointing. It's featherweight makes it feel cheap. The amoled screen for me was too vibrant, it made it look almost tacky in a way, hard to explain but it's what I felt. I would have thought I preferred it but I was wrong. In the sunlight, the MIP screen is better in my opinion. This amoled screen is a strain on the battery as well. With always on display switched off, brightness turned to low, it still drained quite a bit. In the space of about 2-4 of hours it went from 85% down to around 72%. The photo is comparing it to the Vantage V2. Yes, the V2 is a tad slower but there's a more premium feel to it, it's aluminium, the strap is wider as well where as the Ignite 3 has a narrow strap. The strap is not that comfortable as the V2, it has a strange texture which I didn't like, the adjustment holes for some reason didn't work for me, on one setting it was a bit too snug and tight but if I took it down one more, it was too loose. I wasn't overly keen on the touch screen either, it's okay but I prefer a mixture of both, buttons and touch screen. The one button that it does have, is placed awkwardly if you ask me. It's around the 9 o'clock position, I'm right handed and it makes me angle my hand closer to my body to press it with my right thumb. The way I would grip the watch, my thumb naturally rests about the 7 o'clock position which is where it used to be on previous models. It's not a bad watch but it's not great. I had high hopes for it but it's not worth the price for me. Ideally, I would have given it a 3.5 stars. For this reason, it's being returned.
