Polar Unite Fitness Smartwatch with Connected GPS

Had been looking to upgrade my activity tracker for some time & have considered a number of options over recent weeks. The Unite looked to offer the balance of features that as I was looking for at a reasonable price-point. As a predominantly indoor trainer, the lack of onboard GPS didn’t worry me although have to say that the hook-up to my I-phone’s GPS, which I normally use for walks, isn’t always smooth. First charge took only an hour or so to get to c75% to enable me to complete initial set up. Had the watch for a couple of weeks now & experience so far is that claims over battery life are a little optimistic - I’m probably charging every couple of days, although I do anticipate periods where I’m inactive & charge then rather than leaving to completely discharge at a time when I may need monitoring. This without heavy use of the fast draining functions. The data collected/provided offers a rich seam of information to manage & assess your performance & guide further training. Syncing can be a bit patchy at times. Overall, very pleased with the acquisition.

Pros: The watch is quite slim and not too clunky, which I find with some other brands. Makes it a good day to day watch as well as a sports one I got this in the prime day sale for only £35, which was an absolute bargain. The watch is brilliant for that price. Seems to accurately record steps, distance, and exercise. The app is really good and tells you what intensity of exercise you've done. It also tells you how many calories that is and what you could do to achieve your daily exercise goals Cons: Would be good if other sports were included, such as horse riding. Sometimes if you move your hands too much while sitting it will count it as steps/activity, which gives it an inaccurate reading Sometimes it doesn't sync very well if the bluetooth isn't constantly turned on on your phone The strap is a bit of a pain to do up and pops off sometimes

I love this watch! I can’t compare as others have as it is my first. First thing to say is that you need to press the button on the left to enter the menu to scroll for settings (some reviewers were confused about this). I mainly bought it for exercise heart rate tracking for home workouts. Seeing what the different workouts do to my heart rate and the tips and feedback have helped me understand and adapt my workout schedule. The built in workouts are a little easy so I use these less and do my own. Sleep tracking (which I didn’t think would interest me) has also helped me adapt my routine and workouts as well as see patterns/possible causes when I have a bad nights sleep. The battery lasts 4 to 5 days and charging is extremely quick. Only con is initially the strap and charger a fiddly but you soon get used to this. It has blipped slightly about twice. But both times there was a reason (slipped down wrist as I had on too loose) I went for a walk and linked to my phone gps - this was very easy to do. This tracked my route pace and heart rate accurately. All in all extremely pleased with it and highly recommend (NB I got it for a very good price in sale - worth keeping an eye out)

I bought this watch with the h10 hrm device in order to being tracking my training (specifically base aerobic exercise) to ensure i was hitting targets and training effectively. Having used a fitbit surge & garmin forerunner, I was enticed by polars "advanced" heart rate sensors. Usually I tend to look for the cheapest option that has suitable features for my requirements. Issues with product: - I always connect the GPS, however in my activity history the route displayed is always incomplete and typically only shows about 10% of the full run. - The device provides no feedback that the H10 hrm is in use as opposed to the watch based heart rate sensor, although the documentation explains that the H10 will be used so long as it is paired the user experience is poor with no feedback to suggest where the heart is being sourced. - The device has failed to upload several training activities, meaning they are lost forever. - quite often (twice per week) I will need to reset the device to produce a successful upload Summary: - unreliable upload & synchronisation (be prepared to lose your recorded workouts) - unreliable GPS (potentially a mobile phone issue) - poor feedback when using peripheral devices Would not recommend this product to anyone, please consider your options carefully and choose a device that suits your purposes. My 5 year old fitbit surge does a better job than this.

I bought this as a gift for one of my children (who's been doing home workouts during lockdown!) and have posted their comments here: It's very light on my wrist and easy to set up. It looks really nice too. I haven't been able to go back to the gym yet, so this watch has been perfect for me to do workouts at home with the Fit spark feature, which is very clever. It is definitely going to help me to stay motivated with my exercise and I can see that I'm going to enjoy all the sleep information too (my mum says it'll make me realise I need to go to bed earlier!). There are so many helpful features that I need to get to grips with, but I would definitely recommend it.

Opened box and it looked lovely. Larger dial than expected. Difficult to put on a bit fiddly. Charged it using usb port( that charger is tiny so could get lost easily). When charged I attempted to set it up following instructions in booklet and online. Everytime it asked me to scroll up to settings there was nothing on scroll up apart from "no notifications". I looked on help blogs on own website, downloaded the app and spent about 3 hours trying to fathom it out but I could not find settings nomatter how much I tried. Even trying to turn it off is impossible Unfortunately I have returned it- still on, as the factory reset instructions didnt work( holding sidebutton in x10-12 times). Such a shame. Im not the most tech-savy person in the world but this became tricky when things didnt appear when they were supposed to.

This was recommended to me by colleagues, and I'm quite happy with. Easy download and sync to the phone. I'm able to navigate through the user setup very easily, and is a great alternative to still track activities and daily step count if you are not able to wear smart watches at your workplace.

Battery life is fine - needs a charge every two-three days dependent on screen on time. Functionality is mostly good, HR sensor seems fine however there's one major problem: there's no way to discard an activity. So if an activity has started recording by accident, or wasn't stopped when you've stopped exercising, suddenly you've got no option but to save hours of activity you haven't done.

super bien
