Description

The Polar Ignite 2 Gold is a sleek looking and multi-functional smartwatch. Thanks to the fine appearance, you can wear it to the office or a party. You can match the smartwatch to your style with a different strap and personalized watch faces. This watch has many useful functions. For example, you can track all your fitness workouts with the Ignite 2. This watch also tracks your heart rate, sleep, and recovery thanks to the accurate built-in heart rate monitor. Based on this information, the watch determines your fitness level and proposes training goals. The Ignite 2 suggests workouts and helps you to improve your sports performance. You can control your music during your workout and check the weather forecast on your wrist. The first Polar Ignite doesn't have these functions.

Note: a charger adapter isn't included. Want to charge the watch via a socket? Use the charger adapter of your phone charger or order a separate charger adapter.

This watch is recommended for a wrist circumference of 15 to 17cm.

Watch meets expectations

Good heart rate measurement especially in combination with H10 sensor
Plenty of options and sport profiles
Easy and logical to use
Battery life is short

It is a fine sports watch, but you have to get used to the fact that the time is not continuously displayed and the response to turning the wrist is disappointing. The battery life is also very disappointing, charging almost daily. When exercising, the options are good and fortunately the screen can be continuously activated. Too bad this has to be reactivated every time.

Review is 9,3 out of 10.

Great sports watch for a reasonable price.

continuous heart rate measurement possible
warns when sitting too long
especially in combination with the polar flow app or web service very extensive monitoring of activity, training, sleep and sleep recovery
Turning the lights on requires an aggressive or large wrist movement (or the button)

I like the watch because of the continuous heart rate measurement, the extensive registration of movement, sleep and sleep duration. I tend to put the strap on a little too tight, but that doesn't cause any irritation (yet). However, for a lot of measurements and notifications you have to study the manual and the Polar website. It can hold 20 sport profiles, so when setting up the watch, add the missing ones via the flow web service. The calculations regarding fitness, training course and sleep recovery take a few days to appear but that is understandable. For a number of actions (e.g. display continuously on during training) you have to do a few extra actions because there is only one button on it.

Disappointed

many different sports
looks nice on the wrist
battery runs out faster than the polar ignite 1

I had high hopes for this product, but in the end it was a disappointment. Firstly, after a few days I had an allergic reaction to the wristband, and I am not alone, a friend who has the polar ignite 1 also suffered from this. In addition, the polarignite 2 does not include swimming, I have already tried the different options (swim, pool swim, open water swim, 25 m baths, 50 m baths). It does not register the distances. Very disappointing. And as a final setback, the polarignite 2 runs out of battery faster than the polar ignite 1. I found this out when I walked the coastline with a friend who has the ignite 1, my watch could only record 15 hours, while her battery lasted after 16 hours. was not yet empty. I am quite disappointed with the watch. Although I do think that this is the first sports watch that fits nicely around my wrist (I'm a woman) and I also think it's an advantage that there is a wide range of sports that you can register. But I would not recommend the sports watch, there are certainly better ones.
