Finally accurate wrist based Heart Rate and GPS for my varying activities throughout the week (mainly run/soccer/cycle). GPS connects very quickly and has measured up to the "actual" distances so far.
The sleep metrics are very easy to understand (although the logic behind it seems very scientific and is beyond me). It is interesting to see these metrics on such a granular level, and perhaps I can actually start tweaking my sleep schedule accordingly.
The new features that recommend the workout of the day are pretty cool too and seem to be a new feature for a Polar watch. I haven't had a chance to follow these yet, but am really interested in seeing some recovery recommendations since that has been a pain point for me as of late.
To date, I have used this watch for swimming (25M pool), road cycling, trail and road running and especially for the “sleep tracker” feature. I have found the watch was easy to use for all these activities and after one week, the experience in my training has improved as I make small changes recommended by the device.
Pro: Function wise, I like having only one button to push and the touch screen is intuitive. The watch GPS hooked up quickly for workouts and the heart rate information was easy to see. Program wise, I like the suggested work out routines and have started to follow those. I also like the polar flow app and how the device easily syncs and uploads my data from the day’s activities. When I use the app, I feel a sense of accomplishment as I review my activities and see the “evaluation” that comes with it. This motivates me to want to work out again the next day!
Con: this is a minor complaint, but to enable “auto stop” and set lap length in miles, I had to sync my watch with the Polar Flow App instead of making the adjustment on the watch. That said, this only had to be done one time and the watch works perfectly for me now.
Bottom line is that this Triathlete really likes this device. I have read that the watch straps are easily changed so my next step is to buy two new watch strap colors (black and yellow) just to keep my look fresh for the rest of summer through fall.
I am very pleased. I did my own heart rate comparison--the Ignite vs my chest strap--and the Ignite was very close across the range of heart rates tested (60-120; 120 is my current upper limit). The Ignite is a few seconds slower to react to changes than the chest strap, but that is OK for my purposes. I tested both walking and biking and the Ignite was accurate within a couple seconds in both activities. The manual does recommend that, during activities, the watch should be worn snug and an inch or so above the wrist bone. I do think placement is an important factor for accuracy during activity.
A comment on battery life. When I am doing what the Ignite calls a "Training Activity" (walk, run, bike, etc.), the watch measures heart rate continuously, tracks my location with GPS, and I choose to have the watch face lit up continuously (otherwise it only lights up when you raise and turn your wrist). With those functions activated, the watch burns 10-12% of the battery life per 30 minutes. If you set it on an indoor activity (treadmill or stationary bike), it only burns about 4% per 30 minutes. I am guessing the difference is that the indoor activities do not activate GPS, but I'm not sure if that's the reason.
Two other comments:
-In terms of size, my wrist is smallish, about 7 inches around. I was afraid the watch would be too big. But it doesn't feel too big (see pic), maybe because it is quite light-weight and the band is also light.
-The yellow band that I bought is silicone and quite light weight. The buckle is lightweight too. It does have holes every 3/16 inches so it is easy to adjust it to just the right tightness for you. Because of the light weight, I'm not sure how long it will hold up, but overall I'll accept that risk in return for keeping the weight of the watch light.
