I like it so far
First, when choosing something like this, always check the manufacturer’s web site for details. Don’t just read the product description. There are usually even manuals. This listing implies that the watch has GPS. It doesn’t. It uses your phone. That’s not a bad thing unless you won’t carry your phone with you. I think most of us carry our phone with us.Who am I? I’m a 66-year-old retired truck driver. I’m recovering from 23 years of sitting and holding a steering wheel 8-11 hours a day, one major surgery, and several minor procedures. I don’t run. I don’t cycle (yet). I walk, and plan to get back to weight training once I’m released to do so. I’m 5′ 11″ and I’ve weighed just under 250 pounds for the past 30 years, though I’ve lost about 20 pounds since June. I expect to get back up to walking at least 2 miles a day. I hope to get down to 200 pounds over the next year. I expect to keep my BP below 120. It was up to 140 earlier in the year. So, I’m old, fat, out of shape, and injured.Why the Unite? I wanted a heart rate monitor I could wear while walking. And, I didn’t want to keep looking at my phone to keep track of how far I’d walked. It was that simple. I’ll have my phone with me, so I don’t need GPS. The Polar Flow app uses my phone’s GPS to track route and distance. I didn’t want most of the features of a “Smart Watch”. I didn’t want to pay for a subscription to keep track of what my phone itself is capable of tracking. I don’t even understand why that’s considered a service. It does allow viewing data using a browser, for free. Sleep monitoring is a plus. Simplicity is too. This is a KISS fitness tracker.So, if you want to brag about how great your Smart Watch is, or how expensive it is, this isn’t it. It’s not a fashion statement. It’s a tool. If you want to monitor your fitness progress, this is a good choice. I’ve only worn it one day and one night, and I can already tell it’s exactly what I wanted. I’ve been playing with “tech” longer than most buyers have been alive. I started programming a “personal computer” using hexadecimal Z-80 machine code in 1982 as a hobby. This was for my own physical health, not another toy. I wanted function, not to impress someone else. I’ll update this in a week or two with my thoughts on how well it tracks my walks.

Ten months trying to persevere. No more! Utter garbage. Buy at your own risk
The only thing about this piece of crap that is marginally decent is the heart rate monitoring and even that has issues.The pairing to a phone, the syncing to the Polar App, the app itself, the way the band connects, the useless extras like Sleep Tracking and the useless but intrusive âblogâ are all rubbish.I bought this in March 2022 and have been persevering with it for the past 10 months. I am fed up, sick and tired of dealing with it.The GPS feature is worse than useless. About 60% of the time, it fails to connect at all. The vast majority of the remaining times, it will lose connection during the ride resulting in erroneous distance and route information. I always ride with Strava and it, plus my analog cycle computer, always match. If the feature does not work. Fix it or eliminate it!The pairing the watch to a phone is an exercise in frustration.Syncing the phone to the polar app is usually an ok exercise but not always. Again frustrating.Fitbit has a way better mechanism for attaching the band. This is a poor mechanism.There is too many useless features like the Sleep Tracking stuff. I know if I had a good sleep. Further, it is not accurate. I will wake up rested and feel I had a great sleep and this POC will advise that my sleep was poor.Finally, I wanted a watch that would show my heart rate when I was in the middle of exercising. This POC claims to do so but does not. The screen goes black after a few seconds. When I am in the middle of climbing or sprinting, I canât be flicking my wrist to see if this POC will bother to show my current heart rate. My old Polar FT7 constantly showed the current heart rate. The reason I bought this POC was I had had such good results with the FT7 and the even older one I had before that. Never again. I will buy an Apple, Fitbit, Garmin or anything else before I will buy another Polar POC.

Better than Fitbit Charge 4
I recently bought the FitBit Charge 4 for my wife and I as soon as it was released a few months ago. It was so sporadic with the GPS and was more of a entertainment device than actually helping me improve my health and wellness. She enjoyed the simplicity of it but even the steps were so off that it wasn’t worth keeping.I was researching the Unite and Ignite but ultimately decided on the Unite since it was cheaper and when I do run outside I always have my phone on me for connected GPS.. The fitness metrics and heart rate are extremely accurate and the recommendations on my daily workouts with the FitSpark feature are worth their weight in gold.This is probably the lightest watch I have ever worn and I haven’t taken it off since I got it. It is pretty stylish with a full color touch screen which has already been mistaken for an Apple Watch by a few people. The charging port is pretty unique as it clips right back into the watch and then you plug it in via USB. I also purchased a separate wrist band for this (as they are interchangeable) for when I am going out rather than having a sweaty band on me.I am pretty happy with this so far – my treadmill workouts have been pretty accurate and the HR is spot on.

i am kind of sorry for buying this watch. first of all, the strap is weird. its weird to get on and off as it is not designed like a typical watch band. the thing that bugs me the most is how often it needs to be recharged. at least twice a week for me. i do not find it user friendly and it uses kilocalories if you are looking to see how many calories you burned. it does not track my sleep most of the time. and i cant get it to notify my if i have gotten a text like the fitbit. i still believe it to be more accurate than a fitbit in terms of calories burned and the display on the watch is easy to see. the band is comfortable once you can learn to pop it on. on the whole, i do not recommend. i like that i can immediately see my heart rate on the display.
Pas plus de 2 étoiles car les tiges de reliement des maillons du bracelet sont de mauvaise qualité….. Sinon il est joli et tien bien –

El reloj es de plástico no muy lujoso, pero de buena calidad, la correa algo menor en calidad y facilidad de ajuste, pero se pueden comprar correas compatibles buenas y a buen precio aquà mismo. No tiene GPS integrado, por lo que si se desea mapear algo, se necesita vincular a un teléfono y llevarlo consigo durante la actividad. En cuanto a la duración de la pila, si se usa el modo de monitoreo cardiaco constante (y mensajes, alarmas, etc) apenas alcanza 3-4 dÃas sin usar entrenamientos, pero, si se usa en modo “solo por la noche” la pila puede durar 7 dÃas (comprobados ambos). Si no se usa monitoreo cardiaco, el manual asegura una duración de 29 dÃas (no lo he probado). Obviamente, si se usa diario para entrenar, a pesar del modo de monitoreo nocturno, la pila durará menos que los 7 dÃas que menciono, pero la causa será muy clara. La respuesta al giro de la muñeca me parece mejor que otros modelos Polar. La carátula solo es modificable en color (7 colores). El funcionamiento y sincronización no dan problemas y como es muy plano y ligero para su tipo, es muy cómodo para dormir con el, a diferencia de otros modelos más gruesos, incluido el apple Watch. La medición de la FC es muy precisa pero no se puede usar como monitor cardiaco para asociarlo por ejemplo, a Polar Beat, Wahoo, o alguna otra aplicación, a diferencia del A370 que si lo permite. En conclusión, es una excelente opción para el monitoreo de actividad diaria, sueño y mediciones para entrenamientos en gimnasios o cuando no se requiera GPS o no se desee usarlo (si no, simplemente vincularlo al teléfono y ya está).
