Or, you can simply hit the play button below to get all the details:Īlso, just a quick note that Polar sent over this media loaner to toy with. For that, I’ll first have to explain the nuances (and pitfalls) of this watch. The question is, how does that fit into a scheme where the Apple Watch Series 3 is at $169 these days? Well, that’s trickier and will really depend on what you want out of it. It’s got the same automatic workout coach (called FitSpark) as the higher-priced Polar Ignite, and the same sleep and 24×7 tracking as Polar’s $400+ GPS watches. And while the Fitbit Charge 4 undeniably has fitness features, Polar’s Unite is in an entirely different league. Except, that one has GPS, but is a band wearable as opposed to a full watch. The Polar Unite is theoretically aimed at the same audience as the Fitbit Charge 4, also priced at $149. And two drinks for when I mistype Unite as Unit or United. Also, for those playing Branding Bingo at home, drink for every time I manage to mistype Unite as Ignite. Sure, I could end this non-review, but I’ve still got 6 hours till this watch launches, so I might as well fill up this page with all sorts of hands-on details on how it works and whether it makes sense for ya. But wait – while it lacks internal GPS, it can still leverage your phone’s GPS if that’s nearby.Īnd thus, I’ve explained the Polar Unite in a single paragraph. Oh, and they’ve changed the sensors, bands, screen, and thickness. Almost exactly a year after announcing the Polar Ignite GPS watch, the company is back with another wearable – the similarly named Unite, which takes all the Polar Ignite features, slashes the internal GPS, and drops the price by $50.
