New features and strengths of Polar Ignite 2

As it could not be otherwise, this Polar Ignite 2 collects all the good of its first version of Polar Ignite with continuous recording of heart rate with 24/7 activity log, providing data on calorie consumption, but is also able to provide information on the lowest and highest heart rate of the day.

Despite being a sports watch more focused on fitness and lifestyle, its versatility also allows it to adjust to other sports activities such as running and swimming, among others. Specific Running Program functions for personalized training plans, and a Running Index that estimates your VO2max and running performance. While swimming metrics collect heart rate, but also pace, strokes, distance, and even swimming style in your workouts in the pool.

By the way, through the HR Sensor Mode functionality you not only ensure accuracy in real-time heart rate recording, but you can also synchronize it easily and quickly with the different cardio machines in the gym, including with the bike computer systems.
