Why This Watch

The Ignite 3 is Polar's fitness and wellness watch, with a 1.28-inch AMOLED touchscreen, dual-frequency GPS, and Polar's FitSpark daily workout guidance and SleepWise recovery data. At 35 grams with the strap it's the lightest watch in Polar's current range. It has no barometer, compass, ECG, or maps, only 3 ATM water resistance, and GPS battery life is short at about 18 hours in performance mode, so it suits everyday runners more than long-distance racers.
