  • I’ve had a Polar Pace Pro for 2 years now, pretty happy with it in general though it does have a few minor flaws. In relation to what you’re after:

    • It’s fairly robust, I’ve managed to scratch the screen a little recently, but I have whacked it a fair few times.
    • Heart rate is pretty accurate, though sometimes it doesn’t detect properly during a workout and shows 80odd when I know that’s not true. Needs a twist or tightening then shows correctly, but can be annoying.
    • Sleep analysis is good. It’s helped me realise how much even 1 drink hinders sleep. HRV, heart rate, breathing rate etc.
    • I charge about once a week with 3/4 workouts.
    • No drinking tracker that I’m aware of, but you could set alarms up.
    • Pedometer seems good, though doesn’t cancel during a workout, so after a cycle it tells me I’ve done 20k steps.

    I had a Garmin before too and I’m happy with the switch.





  • My partners car has keyless and I hate it. Every time I get in the key falls out my pocket and ends up under the seat, or I throw it in some cubby hole and can never remember which one.

    “Can you come closer to the car, it still won’t let me in”

    Then there’s the time I dropped her off in the car, she left with the key but it still let me drive away. Good job I didn’t pop into any shop on the way home.
