Accessible right this moment, the Polar Ignite 3 comes with a bunch of cool options and enhancements, together with an OLED show. However essentially the most fascinating characteristic focuses in your sleep, or extra particularly, the best way an evening’s sleep can affect your day.

Earlier Polar smartwatches launched “Nightly Recharge,” a characteristic that plainly tells you when you must take a restoration day. The Ignite 3 takes issues a step additional with “SleepWise,” a day by day report that predicts once you’ll be alert or exhausted. In concept, you should use SleepWise to plan your exercises, specializing in the temporary window the place you’re most alert in the course of the day.

Plus, the Polar Ignite 3 introduces three highly-requested options; a 1.3-inch OLED show, guided voice exercises by way of the Polar Stream app, and multi-band GPS for extra correct location monitoring. The latter characteristic is often reserved for costly merchandise just like the Apple Watch, so that is an fascinating addition.

Spec-wise, the Ignite 3 is supposedly two instances extra highly effective than the Ignite 2. It additionally has a most five-day battery life, which is kind of spectacular, and it weighs simply 35 grams. The 20mm wristband is definitely swappable, because it doesn’t use a proprietary latching system.

That is clearly a powerful health watch. That mentioned, it lacks some “smartwatch” options that you could be care about, resembling contactless funds. (I’m undecided why health manufacturers hold missing on this space. To be truthful, any extra options would possibly make this watch costlier.)

You should purchase the Polar Ignite 3 right this moment for $330. That’s much more than you’d pay for a Fitbit, and it’s about the identical value as a Galaxy Watch 5. Personally, I’d anticipate the evaluations to come back in earlier than pulling the set off—we gained’t know if the “SleepWise” characteristic is correct till we will take a look at it.
