Ignite 2 GPS Fitness Smartwatch with Wrist Heart Rate

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.

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).

Good watch

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.

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.

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!

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.

Battery life. Used to monitor body after Long Covid

C'est ma 3 ieme Montre Polar . Bon produit fiable comme toujours

Watch is great for exercise as well tracking sleep. This watch will track HR of sleep, HR beat variation, REM cycles and time of each cycle in your night of sleep, interruptions in your night of sleep, etc etc and also tracks quality of sleep based on HR. The watch keeps track of average sleep statistics as well to track improvement of sleep. I like the alarm function as well since I usually can’t wake up from my phone alarm clock. The battery life is sufficient enough that it lasts over 4 days most of the time depending on how many workouts you do or other functions that you use and recharging is quick. Touch controls are a little slow to respond, and sometimes difficult to use when sweating a lot or if the watch/your hand is wet. I’ve used this watch in a steam room and pool many times in the past 6 months without any water damage issues at all. The watch continues to function and track HR and workout data even after over an hour inside a steam room (115 degree F is the typical temperature in the steam room I use). The button allows you to pause or save a workout without using the touch functions which comes in handy when using the watch for swimming or other sports involving water. The watch also has weather data as well if paired with your phone. In regards to Hr accuracy, the watch does need to be secured and not loose to properly track HR especially for sleep data to be accurate. I have experienced inaccurate readings when I did not have the watch right enough on my wrist, but it doesn’t need to be painfully tight. Overall a great watch for those who don’t care for smart watch capabilities but want a solid watch for exercise and sleep tracking.

Répond tout à fait à mes attentes. L'essentiel des fonctionnalités utiles est présent, la prise en main rapide.

Great watch for tracking activities, workouts and sleep. It takes awile to figure out all the screens(7) and various functions (per screen). Works well with Polar Flow app and syncs well. Make sure to download a digital copy of the manual, since you’ll be referring to it quite a bit at first. I had 2 issues that I couldn’t get to functio, even reading thru the manual a few times and the specifics even more, so I contacted Polar described the problem (via e-mail, since there is NO customer service phone #) and withib 48 hrs rec’d a reply that steered me in the right direction to use the functions. As an aside, I did purchase after market watch face screen protectors and after market watchbands that have more holes to allow the wrist to bresthe.

Junto con la banda de pecho Polar H10 muy recomendable para gimnasio (cardio y fuerza. La precisión del pulsómetro comparable al Apple Watch 5. Para entrenarse con pesas no fiable el pulsómetro (por eso uso banda de pecho), como todos los de muñeca, pero preciso para running. El GPS bien, más rápido que el M430 y precisión similar. Mejoras sobre el M430 en batería y sincronización, mucha más información en el reloj. Buena app para sueño y variabilidad FC por la noche. Merece la pena si vienes del M430, pero lo malo es la respuesta táctil de la pantalla, por el procesador se queda a veces "colgado". El sensor para activar reloj con giro de muñeca bien. A menos de 200 euros merece la pena, si no eres un pro...
