Polar Ignite 2 Review | Flawed Fitness Smartwatch
Tech Spurt ·
Reviewing the Polar Ignite 2, a fitness tracking smartwatch freshly upgraded for 2021, after a week of testing. This watch boasts some great features including GPS support, one of the best personalised exercise regimes around and good battery life. However, the Polar Ignite 2 also lacks some tools like SPO2 measurements, NFC and proper customisation. Compared with some Garmin and Huawei smartwatch rivals, this £199 device seems to be lesser value. However, there's still plenty to love here, if you're willing to look past those flaws. Check out my round-ups of the best fitness trackers and smartwatches of 2021 here on Tech Spurt for other ideas. One of my favourites is still the Huawei Watch GT 2e, which at a fraction of the price delivers longer battery performance, a slicker UI and more eye-pleasing design. 0:00 - Yap yap yap 0:32 - Design 1:51 - Setup and app 2:24 - Display 2:54 - UI 4:48 - Fitness tracker tools 6:17 - Other features 7:37 - Battery life
