Review on ๐ŸŒŠ POLAR Unite Waterproof Fitness Watch: Empower Your Workouts with Heart Rate & Sleep Tracking by Victoria Robinson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Better than expected.

I've been using the Polar HRM (chest strap) for years and finally got fed up with the straps not working so I decided to give this watch a try and I'm glad I did have! There's a lot to learn about this watch and all of its features, and I encourage new users to play around with it and read the manual to see what it's capable of. It's pretty easy to use, but first you need to set it up for Polar Flow. At first I just set up the watch and then downloaded the app and the watch and app didn't sync, after which I realized that Polar Flow was meant to be used anyway. Although the manual says you can set the clock on the watch, you can't. So now I have a watch, an app and a polar stream and if you sync all 3 you will get different readings for all 3 from time to time. It's annoying. Not sure why you need App and Thread, yes Thread is more detailed than App and maybe even better to read, but that's another thing I need to figure out. I love how you can customize your workout preferences and change your workout views on your watch; exp WALK I changed the view to show calories, heart rate, time and distance. You can only make these changes in one thread - that's actually an amazing feature when I think about it. You can also delete and add workouts. The watch appears to be fairly accurate in terms of accuracy. The only major thing I despise is the significant delay in turning the watch on from sleep. I found that I had to raise my hand several times to wake him up. Another thing I don't like is the delay in counting calories during workouts. Again I have to move my hand up and down a few times to refresh it and it hurts. The size of the face is a little big since I have such a small wrist but I think if it was a little smaller it would be difficult to read the text. Not so hot what's up. I'm not sure I'll be using this watch as a fashion watch for that reason, but now that they're calculating the pitch I have to say I'm addicted to surpassing earlier days so I need to wear a watch to to do this it. Overall the watch is a good buy! The advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
