I'm in love with my Unite. I always have my phone on me for safety so I don't miss the gps. I also love the sleep data. Eye opening to say the least. And since it's so light I have no problem sleeping with it. I have a tendency to not like to have watches on my wrist and just use my H10 strap to save the data then sync later but this one is quite comfortable.
Can't wait for the in-depth fitness review!!
Me too! 😁
Another great review, sir! I’m becoming a big fan of what Polar is doing lately. I have both the Ignite and the Grit X, so no real need for this one, but I always appreciate your insights. Thanks.
Thanks a bunch! Ya, this one is just expanding their line-up - you're definitely already covered!
Such a quality and underrated channel this! Better days to come in the future. 🤞
Thanks a bunch!
Finally a Polar fitness trainer with precise wrist HR, color touch screen, and NO GPS yay, mine arrives next week
This watch seems perfect for me! I'm a serious bodybuilder and ex-powerlifter that cares a lot about my strength training and overall health, but have no need for the fancy stryd/pod compatibility, music, onboard gps, and outdoor features that many have. What I really want is to connect a chest strap for more accurate strength tracking, the recovery tracking, sleep, basic tracking for treadmill/indoor track/stairmill, and connected gps. I'm really hoping this can meet those needs and am really looking forward to your full review!
take a garmin...this one has the touch that is not good at all
@@camillapizzini9126 it's not a dealbreaker, but I would rather have buttons than a touchscreen for sure!
Awaiting the full review!!
Coming in a few weeks!
The Polar website says no training load pro metrics. That seems pretty disappointing.
Does anyone know if this watch comes with chest strap or does it have to be purchased separately. Also, just curious to know if this watch breaks down calories burned from carbs and fats. Thanks in advance
When will you release in depth review and what about the fitbit sense 😂
How accurate is the heart rate measurement? This is the main reason for me to buy a smart watch. Thanks!
Polars are the most accurate heart rate monitors being they were among the pioneers of the tech! The most accurate is the chest strap but the wrist sensors are great for smooth movement activities like walking or yoga.
@@spongesurf do they have a 24/7 heart rate measure?
Having a hard time to choose which to buy. The garmin fr245 or the polar unite. This would be
my first fitness smart watch. Can you advise which is the one suitable for me? I cycle daily prob for an hour or more and always track my ride (would be nice to look at some data). I am not a hardcore guy. I dont run, mainly road cycling during night time, mtb trail riding once a month day time and definitely don’t listen to music during exercising and always carries my phone with me. I am looking for a good fitness watch with reliable/ accurate data, mainly the hr monitoring, activity tracking, gps, sleep quality, etc. I don’t mind spending the extra bucks to invest on the garmin fr245 if it’s is a better choice. Would love to hear your opinion. Many thanks.
Would you say this would be a good fit for my needs: I am primarily a cyclist, I use a Wahoo Bolt to track my rides and gather my heart rate / power data. But I'm looking for a device really just to continuously monitor my heart rate, track my sleep, and just for general fitness monitoring and activities such as walks, weight training, and yoga? Polar seems to be one of the better options for sleep tracking if I understand correctly.
edit: did a full in-depth review ever get uploaded? I didn't see one.
Hello! Thank you for the great review and all the information, my only question is when you’re on a run can you have the watch sync up with the GPS on your phone and listen to music using Bluetooth headphones at the same time or does it mess with the phone watch connection?
Thank you!
That will more depend on your phone’s Bluetooth and not necessarily the watch, but I’ve never encountered this issue so you should be good to go 👍
Hello! Does polar unite measure open water swim?
Hi Des. Stumbled over this channel while searching RUclips. Subscribed. Like you content. So as a fitness tracker how this this watch compare to a samsung active 2?
For fitness this watch will provide more feedback but it doesn't have built-in GPS. That said, I am not impressed with Samsung watches as fitness devices. I'd consider a Garmin Venu SQ or Forerunner 45. Thanks!
@@DesFit Hi Des. I bought a Huawei gt2e. I thought it was more value for money as it had most features what I was looking for and a SPo2 sensor which I found helpful since contracting COVID19. 2 weeks battery life is also a plus. Please do a fitness review if you can
Looks interesting Des. Does it have the workout/weekly training effect metrics? If so, this would be the cheapest way to get such metrics I would imagine. Also, the Vantage screen looks kind of dull to me. Is this screen a bit brighter? Can it pair to Bluetooth chest/arm straps? Thanks!
It's actually the brightest display of all current Polar watches and yup, can pair to bluetooth external sensors.
@@DesFit If you want training effect, and multiple sport profiles this is the least expensive way to get those, right? You would have to go to the Fenix 6 for those options on Garmin. Can you change the strap?
Looking for the water reminder feature. Wish we could get it as an update across the board.
Man, I could go for a taco or two myself.
Always
And de side button also inside the watch and struggle to functions on the watch itself
👍👍
What happened to the full in depth review??
It takes a while for those to come out
@@DesFit Lol. Is a year long enough? I just came from searching your channel..
Some reviews fall through the cracks unfortunately.
Well that will be the Ignite firmware update dropped in a couple of months, just like they dropped the Vantage series.
Cheers
Cheers!!
So to use this for running I have to have my phone with me while running?
Great review! Btw, what did you use to charge with Polar Unite usb stick?
It comes with a little USB charger that you can plug into any standard USB type A port. Thanks!
Can the HR sensor connect to cyclo comp for cycling?
Hi, can you use this without a smart phone? I dont have a smart phone.
Interesting. I think these newer, entry-level, cheaper models don't compare well to some older models that are nearing end-of-life. For example: I bought a Garmin Vivoactive 3 (which was a $300 watch a couple of years ago) for $199 Canadian (about $150 US) in Best Buy a couple of months ago. I'd say its significantly better than the Polar Unite.
hi, could you please review your Garmin Vivoactive 3? are you happy with it?
Is the watch suitable to take into sauna/steam room?
Can this clock calculate distance while not using GPS?
Wich is more accurate unite or the charge 4 for like crossfit and running
The Unite
Is better then the M430 ?
Can i connect my polar speed and cadence sensor to it
M struggling to see my segment on strava and including my followers and the ppl i follow
Is the qatch glitchy ???
Or work like samsung watches??
New to your channel as I was looking for Charge 4 reviews. Question: for a $150 range watch/tracker would this be a better buy than the Charge 4? Would there be a better recommendation? I'm coming from a Fossil Q Explorist HR. Maybe what's a top 3?
Based on my testing, this is definitely better than the Charge 4. My review of the Charge 4 will be out soon if you want the details, but I can't necessarily recommend the Charge 4 at this point.
@@DesFit sounds great. I'll look forward to the new video. Other than these 2 any other one you would highly recommend
Quick question, if you forget your watch at home, does them mean you can’t track your run, because of no gps?
Do you mean forget your phone?
Polar trying to squeeze in fitbit charge space, when charge upgraded with gps to ignite space.
So if you leave your phone at home you can't track your activities on the watch?
You can still track activities but you won't be able to collect speed/distance for outdoor activities. You can do all indoor workouts without your phone.
What watch should I get for mountain biking
Something durable like the Garmin Instinct, Polar Grit X, or Garmin Fenix series. All wrist based HR sensors will not be able to track accurately for MTB since there is a lot of movement and wrist flexion so I’d recommend an external HR strap if you want accurate HR data.
The watch acts like it dies. Screen goes black.
Compatible with third party hrm ant+ or ble chest strap? Thank'u
Yes it is
I have ble chest strap geonaute from decathlon
@@1986dubi great thank'u
3rd~!
Nice!
The strap it comes with is useless , upgrade to a normal style strap which polar do but it's not cheap
No GPS? That's real cheapness!
you people of expensive watches... we are the mi band 5 people -_- .. 700$ >???? too much
Will never buy Polar again, they dump there products continually for the next new development. New very happy Garmin customer now
