Polar Ignite 3
£289 / polar.com
Polar, like its old rival Garmin, has had to deal with the onslaught of fitness-tracking smartwatch newcomers… and the Ignite 3 is its response. It’s a training watch that also has its sights set on the crowd who choose Pilates over two-day ultras as their way of staying fit.
This is a Polar that wants to strike a much better balance between being something you’d want to wear in the gym and looking good outside of it. A big part of that lies with a new AMOLED touchscreen display that matches up with a steel bezel and removable 20mm strap, making the latest model more visually appealing than previous Ignites.
