Okay if you only use the watch function
As much as I love my actual Polar watch, the app leaves a lot to be desired. After 2 years, I still don’t use it for anything other than syncing my watch periodically. The user interface is mediocre and I could get used to that, but the level of customization available is so sparse compared to Garmin and Fitbit, it makes the data collected pretty useless. Support is only as helpful as their minimum requirements dictate. I’d absolutely recommend the polar watch, it has held up phenomenally well and that screen does have a lot of aesthetic customization that I like, but don’t get your hopes up about the app

buyer’s remorse
I’ve only used the Loop and app for a few days but I am incredibly disappointed in the functionality. The app needs to be modernized. It feels clunky and clumsy compared to my Oura Ring app. And the Loop or the app exaggerate the calories burned and steps per day by a loooong shot. I know these devices and apps can skew over or under these numbers are 50-75% higher than they should be. Makes me wonder what else is over or under calculated. I think buying a Polar product was the worst purchase I’ve made in years. The app and/Loop need improvements. i should have bought an apple watch instead.

Good product
Just like polar…
Needs a refresh-update
I like polar because it’s not American. It would be nice if they could update the software and user interface though.
One step forward, two steps back
I’m a big fan of polar but this is useless. Everytime I think it’s ok things stop working - most recently one day HR graphs stopped showing, and won’t show live HR but it still tracks it. Infuriating.
Polar Grit x2
Great app to accompany their watches. However, it doesn’t sync with my wahoo and I’ve had to use Run Gap to transfer the wahoo rides to the polar flow app. Polar really needs to update their app to make uploading other workouts to it easier. Apart from that I can’t fault the watch. It’s easy to navigate and use. I also calibrated it with my wahoo HRM chest strap and it showed exactly the same bpm.

Polar Grit x2
Great app to accompany their watches.
Glitchy
Features are nice but so regularly syncing watch and phone doesn’t work properly. So far no fix!
Lost activities and steps
Recent updates have meant that workouts and steps for days have just disappeared. It wasn’t doing this previously and makes me question whether my next upgrade should be to another brand
Annoying
Asks to post a review EVERY SINGLE time you sync!
Used to be better
Polar Flow used to have an intensity rating but now they don’t. I wish they did.
Doesn’t integrate into health data and very old looking app
I’ve had a polar loop for about 6 months now, the most annoying part of it is that none of the data that is saved can be seen in my health app (apart from workout heart rate) you have to use the polar flow app to see all your sleep and casual heart rate. Pretty annoying, especially since this app seems to be stuck in 2007. They’ve been promising an update for like a year from what I can find online and it’s still just a bad app experience. If I were to make this choice again I probably would have gone with the Amazon fit band or something.

Love it
I’ve been using the Polar HR watch and app for maybe 10 years and love it. I’ve only had 2 watches in that time and the batteries still last me a week or more on 3-4 run days
Connectivity issues
I have the Polar Variety Sense, it pairs completely fine with everything besides the app. It’s such an annoying process of needing to disconnect from my phones Bluetooth, try to reconnect via the app, turning the device on/off over and over. Really frustrating and annoying process.
Incredibly bad app
I had Polar watches for more than 10 years. The app has never ever been reliable and keeps getting worse. My watch does not auto sync anymore and even trying to manually sync fails most of times. Just updated to the latest version of the app and now it just crashes on open.
I think it’s time to move on from Polar altogether

The Best!
I love my Polar Vantage M! It is perfect for tracking my progress, calorie burn and miles.
App broken
Can’t sign into this stupid app. It says wrong email or password. I do forgot password and open the email and reset it fine and it tells me to sign in with new password. But when I try to sign in with new log in info it again says wrong email and password. I’m returning this stupid chest strap.
Bad Experience
This app is horrible. Does not connect automatically. Loses connection when it happens. Awful UI. Awful UX. It is slow and nonintuitive. Avoid Polar. Does not work. Avoid if possible.
