Polar Ignite review: in pictures

The Polar Ignite has a sleek, slim form factor and can be comfortably worn 24/7. The proactive coaching works well at helping you improve your fitness and achieve your goals, but the display is frustrating and sleep tracking isn't as reliable as it should be with the focus on this metric.
