With the changeable wristbands, you can personalize your watch to match every situation and style. Polar Ignite 3 comes with the essential smart watch features: music controls, weather and phone notifications. In HR sensor mode you can easily turn your watch into a heart rate sensor and share your heart rate to other Bluetooth devices like training apps, gym equipment or cycling computers. You can also use your watch during Polar Club classes to broadcast your heart rate to the Polar Club system.
