Nice and compact multi-sport gadget.
The best combination of being slim and loaded with features. For the price and advertised features, I could not pick anythin to complain about, only pluses.All features I need from long ago dated Polar model, I found by exploring the controls and menu, which turned out to be very intuitive. At least, when you know what are you looking for.During menu exploration, many new features were discovered, including the day-long HR monitoring. Turning it Off made the watch holding charge longer than 4 days as of specs.Walking distance measured in steps differs by less than 1% comparing to GPS tracking. Jogging speed and distance are over-estimated. Could be that Plolar calibrated for running only or it was me using “Running” mode instead of “Jogging”Do not miss internal GPS sensor at all, and even thank designers for not fitting it, hence making the watch compact. If you don’t leave the hous without cell phone or cycling computer, you’ll most likely will not miss built-in GPS too.Also, like color coding for HR zones during the activity recording. Black-and-white low battery alarm shows that designing engineers care about battery saving and it runs low.

Better than Fitbit Charge 4
I recently bought the FitBit Charge 4 for my wife and I as soon as it was released a few months ago. It was so sporadic with the GPS and was more of a entertainment device than actually helping me improve my health and wellness. She enjoyed the simplicity of it but even the steps were so off that it wasn’t worth keeping.I was researching the Unite and Ignite but ultimately decided on the Unite since it was cheaper and when I do run outside I always have my phone on me for connected GPS.. The fitness metrics and heart rate are extremely accurate and the recommendations on my daily workouts with the FitSpark feature are worth their weight in gold.This is probably the lightest watch I have ever worn and I haven’t taken it off since I got it. It is pretty stylish with a full color touch screen which has already been mistaken for an Apple Watch by a few people. The charging port is pretty unique as it clips right back into the watch and then you plug it in via USB. I also purchased a separate wrist band for this (as they are interchangeable) for when I am going out rather than having a sweaty band on me.I am pretty happy with this so far – my treadmill workouts have been pretty accurate and the HR is spot on.

Battery issues, but otherwise it worked pretty well
I bought this watch about a year ago and wanted to put a review out there because I just felt pretty disappointed overall and wanted others to have this information. The heart rate monitoring is very accurate, I tested it against my polar telemetry strap and it was pretty much spot on every time. The sleep tracking is pretty good, though like with anything of that nature it’s better if you use it all the time, which I didn’t because I hated wearing it all night. I never liked the way the wrist strap connected, it was just awkward but I did get used to it. The main things I disliked were the battery, the app and the way you select between different exercises. The app is cumbersome and hard to use, and VERY slow to sync with the watch so I rarely used it. Selecting between pre-selected exercises on the watch was clunky, you swipe left or right to pick things like “walking” or “stationary cycling” but it’s so touchy that I would accidentally select the wrong one if I wasn’t careful. Kind of drove me crazy. But the reason I’m now going to buy a different watch is that the battery just seemed to have issues all the time. I use this every day for my workouts and tracking my time walking my dog every night so it’s heavily used – but hey, that’s what these are for, right? So just a few weeks in to using it and then for the last year I noticed that some days, even after a full charge overnight I would put it on and it would just go black, no response. I finally figured out that I had to charge it again because somehow the watch was dead. Maybe it wasn’t charging right or something? And when that happens it looses it’s saved time and I have to resync it. Overall it’s not a terrible watch and much cheaper than some of the other ones out there but unfortunately it just didn’t seem worth the money with all the downsides. I wouldn’t recommend it if you are going to use it all the time. Get something more expensive that will hold up and last.

Great choice for the money
Every now and then it malfunctions – it just stops working until being reset. The heart rate and activity monitor are easy to read and keep track of what’s happening throughout the day. It often gets my sleep wrong – recording awake periods as sleep time and vice versa. In fact the whole sleep cycle monitoring function works poorly. The activity and heart rate monitor functions are the primary reasons I got this watch so they work well enough to overcome my disappointment with the sleep monitoring.

i am kind of sorry for buying this watch. first of all, the strap is weird. its weird to get on and off as it is not designed like a typical watch band. the thing that bugs me the most is how often it needs to be recharged. at least twice a week for me. i do not find it user friendly and it uses kilocalories if you are looking to see how many calories you burned. it does not track my sleep most of the time. and i cant get it to notify my if i have gotten a text like the fitbit. i still believe it to be more accurate than a fitbit in terms of calories burned and the display on the watch is easy to see. the band is comfortable once you can learn to pop it on. on the whole, i do not recommend. i like that i can immediately see my heart rate on the display.

El reloj es de plástico no muy lujoso, pero de buena calidad, la correa algo menor en calidad y facilidad de ajuste, pero se pueden comprar correas compatibles buenas y a buen precio aquí mismo. No tiene GPS integrado, por lo que si se desea mapear algo, se necesita vincular a un teléfono y llevarlo consigo durante la actividad. En cuanto a la duración de la pila, si se usa el modo de monitoreo cardiaco constante (y mensajes, alarmas, etc) apenas alcanza 3-4 días sin usar entrenamientos, pero, si se usa en modo “solo por la noche” la pila puede durar 7 días (comprobados ambos). Si no se usa monitoreo cardiaco, el manual asegura una duración de 29 días (no lo he probado). Obviamente, si se usa diario para entrenar, a pesar del modo de monitoreo nocturno, la pila durará menos que los 7 días que menciono, pero la causa será muy clara. La respuesta al giro de la muñeca me parece mejor que otros modelos Polar. La carátula solo es modificable en color (7 colores). El funcionamiento y sincronización no dan problemas y como es muy plano y ligero para su tipo, es muy cómodo para dormir con el, a diferencia de otros modelos más gruesos, incluido el apple Watch. La medición de la FC es muy precisa pero no se puede usar como monitor cardiaco para asociarlo por ejemplo, a Polar Beat, Wahoo, o alguna otra aplicación, a diferencia del A370 que si lo permite. En conclusión, es una excelente opción para el monitoreo de actividad diaria, sueño y mediciones para entrenamientos en gimnasios o cuando no se requiera GPS o no se desee usarlo (si no, simplemente vincularlo al teléfono y ya está).
