  1. I have an. Ignite 2. I agree with the review. I have had the watch over a year and do not want to change it

  2. hallo my friend one question please want to buy a sports watch simply because I am among two I want to know a pony is better and more correct in measuring Polar Ignite or Sunnto 3 Moss Gray

  3. This was the best review for me on this watch. Thanks bro! I am sold as an average runner.

  4. Thanks for the review and information. Seems like it is more than enough for my needs and downsides are not biggie for me so I bought it now with price of 119€ (=$145).

  5. Bought it yesterday as my first fitness watch. I do MTB and kayaking. Now I will start running to.

    It also looks good

  6. I bought a Polar Ignite on Sunday. And I was having a very hard time finding the Start button on the watch. I was scrolling up and down and sideways through all of those screens (lock, heartbeat, how far you walked today, etc) but nowhere could i actually find the Start or where you chose the activity that you want to do!! It was very frustrating! I was stuck using the app only but then it doesnt record any heart rate data as the watch doesnt seem to know you are actually training. And your video showed me how to get to that screen! Which is more than the Polar video did. Thanks!!

  7. Nice trick for enhanced GPS accuracy – "GPS Soaking" ie when you want to do an activity and your watch gets a GPS signal just stay there for a couple more minutes to enable it to better lock into signal . This works very nicely – I also have a Garmin Fenix 5x and when I go for a hike and use this trick I get almost the same GPS results with Ignite as with the Fenix .

  8. Just an easy question: How do I hit a lap during running? Not automatic just a lap when I want..

  9. can I set it so that the watch will tell me to slow down/ speed yp if trying to run a 1 hour 30 half marathon

  10. Thanks for the review of the Grit X, I am an ultramarathon cyclist but it seems no one really talks about cyclists when it comes to the Polar watches. I own an original Accurex II and want to get something newer. Which Polar would be best for me? do you recommend the Grit X or the Vantage?
