Polar: Change instructions!
Switch on via wrist...
I'm not writing a review here, just a tip:
To save battery, the display switches off quickly.
You can switch it on either with a tiny push button on the side or - as it says (wrongly) in the instructions:" ... I have tried this in all ways and the device switches on maybe 1x maybe 2x maybe not at all out of 10 turns ... Purely by chance as the other review says correctly.
But without this switch on function it seems to me that the device is almost unusable, as you can only bring it to life via a WINZY little button on the side. I have already registered my device as a warranty case...
Now I happened to read on the net (pdamax.de) that you have to LIFT YOUR ARM AND turn your wrist to switch it on. As if you were looking at a clock." .... and poof IT WORKS!!!
Hope I could help a few buyers a bit.Top
Pro
- Offers all the functions you need!
- Simple operation
Contra
- The design sporty but not elegant
Polar A370/A360
Had to replace a well-functioning A360 with an A370 only because the battery could no longer be charged due to a defective USB port.
Pro
- Functions, processing and evaluation super
Contra
- Micro USB connector poorly processed
Very good.
Very easy to set up, very light and quick to recharge.
Highly recommended for the price
Good watch, but I think the Polar Flow app has room for improvement.
Pro
- Good heart rate monitor
- Simple operation
- Online detailed information on data
- Can be used as a Bluetooth heart rate monitor with other apps
Contra
- Polar Flow app has limited functions
- Automatic display illumination does not always work
Super
Very nice heart rate monitor
Good product
If the pulsmer is permanently switched on, the battery only lasts one day.
Pro
- Battery lasts approx. 5 days
Contra
- With pulse recording, the watch must be charged every day
Very good!
I like it very much as a newcomer to jogging
All in all, a good device, but the app connection behind it is a massive problem.
Basically a good device. Comfortable to wear and the activity tracker actually works well. Tendentially, a higher activity level is achieved through the heart rate measurement. Like most trackers, the A370 also has problems with motorcycling, where I always get horrendously high activity levels.
Unfortunately, the sync with the app does not work with the location service switched off on the smartphone. In addition, the Flow app only allows an app to be put on the notification block list after it has already sent a notification. And: after a new pairing, they all have to be set again.Pro
- Wearing comfort
- Heart rate monitor
- Pairing with chest strap works well
Contra
- No sync with location service switched off
- Deactivation of individual messages cumbersome
For the price a great watch, I would buy the Polar A370 again.
Compact watch that records the pulse accurately. In any case, it is sufficient for my requirements.
The sleep recording is quite informative and works.
The short battery life is bearable because you take the watch off from time to time, especially when it is wet.
The watch also works well when swimming; the pulse is measured and displayed even in water.Great waterproof activity tracker for the hobby athlete!
I bought this activity tracker after my old Fitbit gave up the ghost after two years.
So far I'm really happy with this watch and I think the price is very fair!Pro
- Great design
- Continuous measurement of the heartbeat possible
- Possibility to pair with a chest strap
- Synchronisation is child's play (my Fitbit bitched a lot more!)
- Waterproof!!!
- Possibility for interchangeable wristbands
Contra
- Bracelet a little difficult to close
- Instructions "Set-up with app" did not work for me (described very vaguely)
I would buy the A370 again at any time, for people who already use Polar products incl. the Flow app, this is clearly a purchase recommendation.

The Polar A370 does what it should, reliably and understandably!
Pro
- Easy handling
- Well understandable app
- Pleasant to wear
For a few improvements over the A360, Polar has made some other things worse.
I previously had the Polar A360 and switched to the A370 primarily because of the wristband and continuous heart rate measurement. My evaluation is therefore primarily a comparison with the A360.
What is particularly annoying is the significantly worse sleep measurement. If I wake up in the morning but stay in bed and also play around with the mobile phone, the A370 evaluates this as part of sleep. The A360 has recognised this and does not count this time phase as sleep. Only when I get up does the A370 realise that I am no longer asleep....Pro
- Continuous pulse measurement
- Wristband much easier to handle
Contra
- Running time noticeably less than with the A360 (due to continuous heart rate measurement?)
- Problems with synchronisation still persist (Samsung S8)
- Sleep measurement significantly less accurate than with the A360!!!
Good activity tracker for those interested in hr tracking with no distractions.
Good activity tracker. Essential functions, quite simple menu. Polar Flow also nice with good view of continuous HR. Activity with GPS (from Polar Flow) battery high usage.
Pro
- waterproof
- continuous HR
- GPS (from Polar Flow)
- quite lightweight to wear
- hr sensor quite accurate
Contra
- short battery life with gps tracking
I already had the predecessor A360 and am very satisfied with the new tracker.
Very good fitness tracker
Pro
- Waterproof
- GPS
- Good sleep tracker
Contra
- Closure a little fiddly
Not recommended
Not recommended...
application in Italian, tracker in English...
I tried to set the alarm clock... and it doesn't work...Functional tracking watch that motivates to take more steps, also interesting for athletes as many sport profiles can be stored.
I am very satisfied with the Polar. The Polar is very comfortable to wear and doesn't get in the way during sports.
At night there is a silent mode so that the display does not light up unintentionally.
The wrist movement only shows the display randomly, I use the button on the side for this, which doesn't bother me much.
In sports use, the watch is very accurate and can withstand a lot. I have already been in the sea, lakes and pool with the watch. The watch has also withstood everything on a mountain bike. Mud splashes are no problem, and the watch has also survived falls without scratches so far. It is great that you can define different sport profiles. When you select a sport, the watch starts recording immediately without having to make any settings.
In everyday life, the watch records the steps and warns me if I have not been active for a certain time. The missing GPS doesn't bother me because I can combine it with the mobile phone. I don't need the GPS for everyday life, only the steps are interesting for me.
I find the sleep mode interesting and it records sleep relatively accurately, only short breaks in sleep are not recorded by the device or it doesn't give a report.
The app for the watch is ok, the transmission is very reliable. I have only had to reset the connection once so far.
The data can be viewed in more detail on the Polar website.
For the heart rate in sports, I recommend the combination with the chest strap, as the heart rate is recorded more accurately.
If you want to record routes, you can combine this with the mobile phone, otherwise I use another sports watch.
I have not yet needed the insert for messages on the display.Pro
- Many functions
- Pleasant size, hardly noticeable on the wrist
- Definition of sports profiles and activity patterns
- Sleep mode
- Data can be viewed on the Polar website
Contra
- Display of the watch via wrist movement too inaccurate
- Synchronisation must not be interrupted, mobile phone must be nearby
