Review on 🌊 POLAR Unite Waterproof Fitness Watch: Empower Your Workouts with Heart Rate & Sleep Tracking by Joy Jones

I've tried Garmin, I've tried FITBIT. To be honest, I wish FITBIT could track sleep on a Garmin watch, mostly because of the ability to use a chest strap to measure heart rate. I have now tried POLAR. I may be wrong on the following but after digging around I found that this watch only has one alarm. You cannot program it for specific days, only every day, Mon-Fri, weekend. The battery is empty very quickly. Even charging during the daily shower isn't enough to keep it going. You can export workouts to Strava, but you can't import workouts from Strava like you can with Fitbit. This is important to me because I have a Wahoo bike computer that I want to connect to my Polar account after exporting it to Strava. Fitbit allows me to pull this data from Strava to show this workout in the Fitbits app. However, it does not go into the heart rate received from my chest strap. However, for some reason my Fitbit Charge 3 is almost as good as a chest heart rate strap on a bike when compared to weightlifting or running. You cannot track your weight via the Polar app. You cannot enter your weight via the Polar app. With Apple, you hold your finger on the Polar app button and you can enter your weight. You can track your weight on the Polar website under Reports and Daily Activity. Polar doesn't offer Wi-Fi based scales that record your weight. I have a Fitbit scale that tracks my weight and all I have to do is step on the scale. Apparently there's a third-party program you can sign up for for $2 a month that pulls your weight data from Fitbit to Polar's website. Again, this weight data can only be viewed on the Polar website. The sleep tracking is fine. This model doesn't support what I think is called Advanced Sleep Tracking. I lack the ability of my FitBit to tell me about sleep apnea. This polar explorer will also think you're still asleep after getting out of bed to drink coffee and check the internet news before getting ready for work. During this time, the "interruptions" for your sleep will be extended by a few minutes and the entire data packet will be discarded. You can't change your bedtime, at least not through the app, you can probably through the website, but it's hardly worth it. Garmin never gets enough sleep. The Polar app has so much sleep data that it may be too much data. I love how big the dial numbers are, the Charge 3 is hard to read. Sometimes Polar doesn't forward notifications from my phone. When this happens with the Charge 3, I just restart the Charge 3. I still haven't found a definitive way to make Polar smart again. Polar's face is almost impossible to customize. Polar doesn't track steps, only "activity". You cannot touch the screen to turn on the display. You must either push the button or advance the clock. Raising the watch from a standing position is nearly flawless, but sitting down or with your hands in front of you, like typing this review, and you "lift the watch" it won't turn on. I never found what I'm looking for.
