Polar Ignite GPS Watch is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 8.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exactly what I was looking for I'm a big Polar fan (H10, Beat, Flow & M460 user) and wasn't sure if the Ignite would add anything to my quest for more data - but it did. I can't fault its performance so far. I can see my fitness improving and wearing it 24/7 is very motivating. The display is clear, the functions are intuitive, it syncs easily with the apps and it was a good price on Wiggle. All good!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Loving the watch Could’ve come with a screen protector but otherwise loving the watch so far. Has good features and appears to be pretty accurate.
Date published: 2020-08-26
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really easy to get on with I'm not the sort of person who has to record everything I do, and I stay clear of anything to do with apps if only because it becomes a time-sink and an annoyance, but I really really like this watch because it does the basics without ever being irritating. Its: - got key metrics and not much else - great to have running pace - everything is only ever two swipes away - you can keep it lit or keep it dark easily - very light - HR seems consistent (even if a chest strap might be more accurate) - the sleep info turns out to be quite engaging - app is very straightforward - and its not like you have to use it unless you want to. The only niggles are - touch is screen is great but useless in the wet - strap can be a bit sweaty - actually the timer (one thing I bought it for!) seems awkward for setting intervals.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it Great watch. I don’t use the pre made training session but logs everything well. Had a few glitches with the gps and not super accurate for swimming but overall really nice, easy to use and good app.

Does it support heart rate zone lock alerts?

While in my training heart rate zone, say 130-140 bpm I need the watch to beep if I go outside the zone (zonelock). This is essential for MAF aerobic heart rate training. I had this on my older Polar M400 watch, but it appears to be not included on the Ignite nor Vantage M. According to Polar product comparison zonelock is on the M430 but not on its newer models Ignore nor Vantage.
Asked by: Bluezebra
Vantage V does have zonelock. I use it for MAF training
