I've done Garmin, I've done FITBIT. I want FITBIT's sleep tracking in a Garmin Watch, to be frank, mainly for the ability to use a heart rate chest strap. I've now tried POLAR.
I may be wrong on the following, but after digging I've found;
There is only one alarm on this watch. You cannot program it for specific days, only Everyday, Mon-Friday, Weekend.
The battery drains very fast. Even charging it during the daily shower isn't enough to keep it going.
You can export workouts to Strava, but you cannot import Workouts from Strava like you can with Fitbit. This is important to me because I have a Wahoo bike computer that I would like to pull to my Polar account, after exporting it to Strava. With Fitbit, I can pull that data from Strava to show that workout in Fitbits App. It doesn't input heart rate scored from my chest strap, however. Yet, my Fitbit Charge 3, for whatever reason compared to weight lifting or running, is almost spot on with the chest strap for heart rate on the bicycle.
You cannot track your weight via the Polar App. You cannot input your weight from within the Polar App. On Apple, you hold your finger on the Polar App button and you can enter your weight. On the Polar website under Reports and Daily Activity, you can track your weight. Polar does not have a wifi scale in production that will log your weight for you. I have a Fitbit scale that uploads my weight, and I have to do nothing but step on the scale. There is apparently a third party program you can subscribe to for 2 dollars a month that will move your weight data from Fitbit into Polar's website. Again, this weight data can only be viewed from Polar's website.
Sleep tracking is OK. This model is not capable of what is, I think called, Advanced Sleep Tracking. I miss my FitBit's ability to tell me of Apnea Attacks. This Polar will also think you are still asleep after you get out of bed to get a coffee and look at the inter net news before getting ready for work. It will add several minutes to "interruptions" for your sleep during this time and throw off the entire data package. You cannot edit your sleep time, at least from the app, maybe you can from the website but that is hardly worth the effort. Garmin never gets my sleep right. The Polar App has so much sleep data that it is perhaps too much data.
I like how the numbers are large on the watch face, the Charge 3 is hard to read. Sometimes the Polar does not forward notifications from my phone. If that happens on the Charge 3, I just reboot the Charge 3. I haven't come up with a for sure way to make the Polar smart again. The face of the Polar has little in the way of customization.
The Polar does not track steps, so much as "activity."
You cannot tap the screen to turn the display on. You must either push the button or raise the watch. Raising the watch is almost flawless from the standing position, but while sitting, or if your arms are in front of you, typing this review for example, and you "raise the watch" it will not come on.
I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
