Wearing Your Watch

Wear your watch firmly behind the wrist bone for accurate heart rate readings during training.

Position the watch on your wrist, about a finger's width above the wrist bone.
Tighten the wristband slightly more than usual. The sensor on the back must maintain constant contact with your skin, and the watch should not move freely on your arm.

When not tracking heart rate or sleep, loosen the wristband to allow your skin to breathe.

Watch Care

Rinse your watch under running water after each training session to keep it clean. Before charging, ensure the charging contacts on both the watch and the cable are dry and free of moisture, dust, or dirt. Gently wipe them clean. Do not charge the watch if it is wet.

Training with GPS

Ignite/Ignite 2/Ignite 3: For GPS tracking, go outdoors to an open area, away from tall buildings and trees. Keep the watch display facing upwards to receive satellite signals. The GPS icon circle will turn green, and the watch will vibrate when GPS is ready.
Unite: To use GPS data, connect your Unite watch to your mobile phone. Install the Polar Flow app, pair your Unite watch, and grant it permission to access your phone's location. You must carry your mobile phone with you during the training session.
